@Mastodon I'm not happy about hiring people who work/worked for Amazon, Google etc..
Show threadMastodonMay 1, 2025
@bazkie we appreciate the hesitation about those organisations, but we're hiring individuals and their experience, rather than the company they worked for in previous lives. There's a strong value alignment amongst the people in the team.

@Mastodon yeah.. I'm sure people who work for Amazon and Google have a strong value alignment..

maybe not with OUR values, but hey, they have some tech experience! 🤡

@bazkie I'm sure @Mastodon is able to hire someone. It's your kind of BS that is just as worse as some of the companies you fight against.

"Our" values is that you look at people, not at that BS.

@vosje62 Agreed, it's very judgemental, rigid and implies that people can't change their mind. @bazkie @Mastodon

@vosje62 After @bazkie 's reply, she/he immediately blocked me 😄

Didn't even give me a chance to answer the question . Oh well..
@Mastodon

My answer would have been: Now you are being judgemental again and rude. You don't know me, but I believe in giving people a second, third and even way more chances.

@vosje62 @Mastodon ah yes, the "oh yeah?! well.. you're just as bad!" "argument"
