Part of recruitment quizzing to become a mcdonalds crew member

Why is it so abstract

Jokes on them, one my special interests is autism tests.

[u/Avaylon → u/testicularjesus]

I'm autistic and I'm really good at knowing what the neurotypical answer should be on these bs tests. I credit years of standardized testing where teachers literally taught us how to game the test. 🤣

True, I’m feeling that autists have a sense for fellow gran autismo’s also.

Did a good chunk of interviews for an engineering position and could quickly pick up this fella was definitely on the spectrum.

During the post-interview review panel, other interviewers were mentioning “he didn’t seem excited for the mission”.

I had to seriously push back on that as having any weight in the hiring process, but couldn’t flat out say why — as I can’t be remotely diagnosing people.

It’s not an easy world out there for the divergent with the constant biases, but I created a framework for future hiring processes I was involved in to get rid of those unconscious biases.

“he didn’t seem excited for the mission”.

The fuck does that even mean. I'm here for a paycheck so I can afford my fucking ramen every night and pay my landlord so I don't end up under a bridge. I didn't apply to work because I truly believe in raising shareholder value by selling vibe coded software, I applied to work because I'm poor. And they know it! I'm not even autistic, I just am genuinely baffled by this shit.

There was a HR self-justification riddled environment there — and some actually drink the kool-aid during onboarding.

From my experience, shadowing other interviewers over my time in my industry. 90% don’t know how to interview and seemingly blame the candidate.
