Hiring Process

Of the many daily occurrences at the Shitshow that make me want to gag vomit and puke until I am blue in the face, one of the most mind-blowing is the process to hire new employees. This whole process makes absolutely no sense and would make any sane individual want to pound his head into a concrete wall for hours on end if he had to try to make sense of this. Has anyone ever heard the saying "Our Strength is in Our Employees"...........well apparently the Shitshow turned a deaf ear to that one. One would figure one of the most important jobs a functional manager could have would be to scrutinize 1000s of resumes and search for certain engineering skill sets to find the most productive and best prepared employees possible - WRONG! Functional managers like to sit in their offices and search the internet for new flooring for their homes or sit in the coffee room and shoot the shit for hours so they delegate this work to who else, but new hires themselves. Yes, that is correct.......at the the Shitshow we have new hires hiring new hires which is a lot like the blind leading the blind. Let me give you an example, one time I was tasked to take a new hire out to lunch (the only reason I did this was to get a free lunch out of the Shitshow and keep in mind I was at the company about 2 years out of college) and prior to this I browsed her resume and noticed she claimed she "worked extensively with electronics". So while we were sitting at lunch I tried to make conversation and asked her if she worked with "digital or analog electronics" and she said "I dont know"...........after hearing this I nearly fell out of my chair at the restaurant and had to be taken to the hospital. In my interview review form, I wrote "DO NOT HIRE HER. SHE LIED ON HER RESUME"..............she has been working at the Shitshow for nearly 3 years now and sends me emails that look like children wrote them asking me questions that make absolutely no sense. Because morons at the Shitshow make my horrible job even worse, I throw rocks.
