A review site (for Americans, think of the consumer rating service Angie's List) for potential employees to find out how crazy a company's hiring department is. The website would allow interviewees to review the hiring process and note things like:
[ ] Had to wait two hours past appointment time
to be interviewed
[ ] Spent 1 hour in interview, after which was told "job has already be filled, but we will keep your application on file..."
[ ] Interviewer had crazy "cut up the pie" method of screening programmers

I'd lend you my exploding resumes but they blew
up a while back. (About the same time I did).
Anyway they would make a great soundtrack for
your website. KABOOM...CRASH...POWWIE. |

[Ian], Angie's List is a rating website that allows people to tell about their experiences with various service people - plumbers, gardeners, cleaners, electricians, and suchlike. The point is to help other potential customers avoid a bad experience. |

[+] ... I have a company in mind. "Made me drive two hours for a fifteen-minute interview, do it again for a half-hour interview, and then never called back, even when I called them three times". |

What's the "cut up the pie" method of screening programmers? |
|
| |
//"cut up the pie"//
Sequester the candidates in a room with a pie, and issue them a knife each. Sorta like "Hungry Hungry Hippo" but with pie... and knives. |

Whichever one emerges alive and not knifed in the back
gets the job? |

Baked some time ago in Japan, for buying a full-sized car. |
|
| |
1 Go to the inkan shop, where they will make you an official signature stamp, in kanji, about 50 USD. Maybe it will be ready the day after tomorrow. |
|
| |
2 Go to city hall and register your inkan stamp, at least 45 minutes of hanging around. |
|
| |
3) Contact your landlord. |
|
| |
4) Your landlord contacts the architect who designed the building. |
|
| |
5) The architect provides a diagram of the apartment, with your car parking space indicated. Then the architect will use his inkan stamp to show it's for real, and sends it to the landlord. |
|
| |
6) The landlord then uses his inkan stamp on the diagram, and hands it to you. |
|
| |
7) You take the diagram, and your inkan (just in case) to the Police Station. They will then double-check the diagram and use their official inkan stamp on the diagram. |
|
| |
8) You are now free to go buy a car. Obviously you have to take the diagram, and your inkan of course to the car sales place. |

...I decided it was just easier to walk to work. |

Better take the inkan stamp, just in case. |
|
| |
This seems ridiculous until I hear my brother talk about how in his city many apartment buildings go up with no parking, because "people will ride bikes". |

We think we see your error. As [MB] is certain to point out, your mistake is to be ordinary, i.e. poor. We assure you that to our certain knowledge, the super-rich are never subject to such trifling bureaucratic inconveniences; partly because they can afford accomodation with lavish parking, partly because their transport is by and large chauffeur-driven, but mostly because they don't go to work, because that's something only poor people do. |

[8th], you are a scamp and a scurrimonger. I'll have
you know that I walk to work every day. It can take
up to 18 seconds (more, if the weather is against me)
to get from the main house to the laboratory, yet I do
this unaided and entirely of my own volition. |
|
| |
Your sedan chairmen are off on holiday again, aren't they ? |
|
| |
Tsk tsk, [8th]. You know very well that it's a
palanquin, and that I only use it (a) in the tropics or
(b) if I find myself suddenly taken drunk. |
|
| |
//palanquin// Hmm... do you keep a midget in a trunk on the back of the chair ? |
