число на лбу

golos_dobra — 04.08.2015 В Тайме не так давно была жуткая статья про "психические тесты",
которыми все сильнее мучают кандидатов на работу в штатах.

Applicants are rated by color based on their scores. Greens are a great fit. Yellows will do O.K. in a pinch when JetBlue needs to hire a lot of people. Reds are the do-not-hires. The payoff for the airline: customers were 15% to 25% more likely to call with an unsolicited compliment for a JetBlue employee who was a “green” than one who was a “yellow.”

Причем, что характерно тесты - это всегда только
для рядовых сотрудников, не для главных и вообще что-либо значащих людей.

One of the bigger outfits is Infor, a New York–based software company that claims to assess a million candidates a month–a number that translates to 11% of the U.S. workforce. Infor, which has worked with clients as diverse as Hertz, Boston Market and Tenet Healthcare, concocts a job applicant’s “Behavioral DNA,” a measure of “39 behavioral, cognitive and cultural traits,” and compares them to the personality traits of the company’s top performers.

But as with many employers, at Infor the tests are mostly reserved for the rank and file. Infor CEO Charles Phillips admitted he’d never taken the test when we spoke, adding, “I’m scared of what I might find.”

Причем, естественно, просчитать как надо отвечать на вопросы невозможно,
цели тестов всегда совсем другие, вам неведомые

Take, for example, the true-or-false statement “I read at least 10 books a year.” Robert Hogan, the co-founder of Hogan Assessments, who has been building these tests since 1987, says he doesn’t really care how many books you read. He cares whether you care about making people think you read that many books.

“We are interested in what kind of a person will tell you they read at least 10 books a year. It is someone who wants to come across as intellectual,” says Hogan. “People who say ‘I read 10 books a year’ do other things. They take courses. They go to museums. And they’ll tend to keep up to date in their jobs.” Similarly, people who say yes to “Our postal system is quite inefficient” are the kinds of people who are sensitive to their environment and willing to voice it to others–just the kind of person you’d want perfecting your smartphone.

Понятно, да? Если вы устраиваетесь на дизайн операционки для смартфонов, вам надо отвечать что "почтовая служба плохо работает", не факт, что этот ответ годный для другой позиции.

Ditson, a 24-year-old waitress and working mother who lives outside Pittsburgh. Her job at a small Italian restaurant wasn’t paying enough for child care and the classes she was taking to become an ultrasound technician, and she wanted to get hired at a better-paying chain. When she started applying, she was dismayed to find that many chains required time-consuming online personality tests, often with hundreds of questions about things that hardly seemed relevant to the job.

She remembers tackling the job applications at night after she had finished her schoolwork and put her son–now 3–to bed, sometimes staying up as late as two in the morning to finish just four applications. On one particularly bad day, she sat with a laptop in a café desperately multitasking between a homework assignment and a bid to be hired at Chili’s. Ditson says she made it to the 95th question on the Chili’s application only to have the café’s wi-fi connection cut out. She had to start all over.

В Чилис, Карл, в Чипотле какое-нибудь чтобы добыть работу на чуть выше минимально оплаты требуют потратить ЧАСЫ вашего времени чтобы пройти эти бесконечные психтесты.
Факт, сейчас все сложней и сложней просто элементарно даже заполнить бесконечные
листы аппликаций на работу - по два-три часа на каждую и надо разослать их тыщи и тыщи чтобы иметь хоть малейший шанс добыть работу где-либо хоть какую-то.
При том что денег нет, голодные дети плачут, сбиваешься с ног работая на нескольких
плохо платящих работах, пытаясь одновременно брать какие-то курсы - и тут еще
сиди и заполняй триста вопросов психтеста.

Но самый жир тут

every Bridgewater employee has a digital “baseball card”–a summary that lists key personality stats the same way a bubblegum card shows a player’s batting average and RBI totals. Each employee’s baseball card is visible to every other employee–a way for people to get a sense of what their colleagues are like and learn more about how their colleagues perceive them. In addition to a picture and a job title, the card displays some 50 different attributes, from creativity and reliability to lateral thinking, community-mindedness and the ability to learn from mistakes. The employee is scored on each attribute on a scale from 1 to 10, a number displayed on the card.

A teammate on a project, for example, could give a “good dot” for attention to detail and a “bad dot” for flexibility if her colleague executed a project meticulously but was resistant to changes in approach. There are even instant replays: almost every conversation at Bridgewater is recorded, so anyone can watch or listen to a tape of the moment when an employee earned a certain “dot.”

Современный корпоративный мир это ад.

Когда какие-то странные люди все по привычке продолжают
рассказывать байки про "ужасы совка" с невинной прослушкой телефонных
разговоров и поступлением в московские вузы второй категории вместо первой
из-за политической неблагонадежности, выглядит это на фоне таких реальных
реальностей сегодня несколько дико.

С голода без малейшей надежды получить хоть какой-то источник средств
к существованию в СССР никто не умирал. Хлеб по 16 копеек был, БЫЛ ХЛЕБ.
Была и работа, хоть какая-то, но была.
ГАРАНТИРОВАННОЕ ТРУДОУСТРОЙСТВО ЭТО ВЫСШЕЕ ЧЕЛОВЕЧЕСКОЕ БЛАГО,
выше просто не бывает, чем дальше, тем люди будут сильнее
вспоминать СССР как недостижимый рай, факт.

Сейчас работы нет никакой, просто никакой, нигде.
Стоит только неправильно ответить на вопрос теста

True or False:
“I never get angry.”
