Verizon closing down a number of call centers... as if their customer service wasn't already terrible enough. One of the call centers is apparently in Rochester, NY. You're job market just got even worse 😞

They will probably open a new one. In Romania. Or even worse, in Egypt. Seen that before 😞

Romania is way more technical than Rochester 🙂

This is true. Had a Romanian guy try to install some remote control software on my family's computers back in the mid 90s. Software was in Romanian. That was the last time I let anybody near a computer that was mine and left hem alone, unsupervised.

@craig.theriac said in Job Posting: Operations Coordinator at Scale Computing:

@travisdh1 Not really a management position today, but perhaps in the future. It is definitely a lot for 1 person to do, but such is life in a startup 🙂

Hope you guys get a "challenge accepted" soon!

I'm probably going to be looking starting the beginning of the year, and @scale will be on my watch-list when the time comes.

Infiniband at $75/hr!!

I'll have what she's having.

So you have to remember that most firms have a big pool of people who leave in less than a year because they figure out that they can't do the role or don't like the company or just don't fit well or whatever - then the people who fit tend to stay a few years at least. That high turnover for people who don't fit make the attrition rate seem alarming more than it really is.

So you're saying the difference is that my friends are mostly good at their jobs and your friends are mostly useless? That makes sense 😉

You can try bayt.com

I heard Filipinos (living in Middle East) are using this site when finding a new job.

@Lakshmana I didnot got any information from the company mail id.But can make a try to apply for the letter they have provided to me?

I've only ever basically told an employer they could go **** themselves once, and it was a very small company here in Syracuse. The owner was lying to his clients and was a completely incompetent idiot, so has he's insulting me as I'm just packing up my stuff, I called him out on it. It was quite enjoyable...

@thecreativeone91 Indeed.com covers good at India also.But trying to get Rs.1000 from the candidates.That is the person who is calling for the interview process asks for Rs.1000.I was asked from them three times.

Not sure. I've worked for loads of small, relatively low-tech manufacturing companies in the UK, and they all sounds like the description in the link to various degrees. It is a source of constant frustration to me. Sometimes I think I'm in the wrong industry and would be better off elsewhere. But mostly I love it. I love small manufacturing companies and have made it my life's work to drag them kicking and screaming from the 18th century to the 21st century. And this is now what I do. I could move to another manufacturing company but I'm sure I'll be faced with the same challenges and frustrations.
