Guyren, I feel like you're trolling me, but since it's just Tuesday, I'll put some gangnam style in the background and reply.

As you mentioned, I have my share of experience in this area and learned from my own mistakes. As I mentioned previously, the "offending debate" isn't interesting nor the main point here. We are talking about being welcoming to new members. If you cared about the position, you could have asked about HP financial's current position. You could have even done that in this thread in a nice way. The problem for me is that we have a local PM who knows about our group, who signs up to our mailing list and shares a nice, short email about a local opening. And on the other hand, we have someone who he doesn't know that is being passive aggressive and doesn't make him feel welcome. So my reaction is simple, I don't find that attitude needed nor useful. Is it a big deal? No. But I still think that, the same way you're free to voice your desire to not have to worry about others, I'm free to say that I don't think we should behave like that. - Matt On Tue, Sep 11, 2012 at 1:21 PM, Guyren Howe <[email protected]> wrote: > On Sep 11, 2012, at 1:14 PM, Neal Clark <[email protected]> wrote: > > > amusing for sure, but i like hearing about local openings through this > list, and i'd much rather hear about them through a PM than a recruiter. > let's not scare these guys off! > > Had I an interest in this position, I would actually be interested in what > Mark had to say about that. “Oh, yes, but this division is one of the most > profitable in the company and is desperately in need of IT staff, so the > position should be pretty safe” or whatever. > > So in fact, the response was not only amusing and pointed, but contra what > Matt said, potentially useful and needed. > > I’m really mystified by this discussion.
