Drew Szurko • 2nd Chief Data Officer @ Compounding Edg... 5h + Follow I tell candidates the job is remote. They accept. Then I tell them it's in-office. They still show up. It's not lying - it's strategy. Companies struggling to hire are missing the point: the best candidates want remote work. If I listed a job as in- office from the start, I'd lose half the talent pool before the conversation even started. Here's what I do instead: 1 Post the role as remote to attract top-tier applicants who wouldn't consider us otherwise. 2 Take them through the hiring process and get them invested in the team, the mission, and the opportunity. 3 Once they accept the offer, I clarify the in-office requirement. And despite what you might think, most don't walk away. By that point, they've already committed. They've turned down other opportunities. They've built momentum. Starting the job search over is more of a hassle than just showing up to the office. It's not deception. It's strategy. And in a competitive hiring market, it's outright genius. If that bothers you, keep struggling to fill roles. I'll be busy building a winning team. #Hiring #TalentStrategy #WorkplaceCulture #AdaptOrLose OCO 20 41 comments • 1 repost

Wow, good for you

I once had to help my orthopedic specialist properly align my wrist bone in a cast so it could heal right. He was struggling to achieve the correct angle he was looking for, and after three attempts, was suggesting surgery and pins. I asked him what angle he was trying to accomplish, showed him where he should cut the cast, and how to place the shim, so he could avoid a needless procedure. Oh and I WAS TWELVE YEARS OLD!! Vote

The principal clapped

r/traumatize ThomBack Join 4d Obviously not you..... matched energy This was a few years back My son (17) has always had anxiety that affected his self esteem. We moved before his 3rd grade year and it was very difficult for him. While in 4th grade he was at his locker and was murmuring to himself about how "no one wanted him around" and "no one like him" when 2 girls near him overheard and proceeded to say loudly "that's right, no one likes you and no one ever will" (paraphrased). Other kids turned and started snickering but he looked the 2 girls in the face and said "oh I'm sorry, did you think i was talking to you? I only talk to pretty girls so it obviously wasn't you" He then finished getting his books and walked away, leaving then to have to deal with the laughter and ridicule of the others in the hallway. Of course I got a phone call and a request to come down to meet with the principal. After telling me that what he said was inappropriate and considered bullying they would not be disciplining him at all because "off the record, these girls pick on people all the time" and the insults "zeroed out". Once the meeting was officially over the principal leans in and tells me that as a parent he was very proud of my son's ability to "give it back" to students that definitely deserved it. 7,686 80 D

Then they all clapped

A student was telling me that her boyfriend was complaining about how much work an assignment was going to be. So she did it, and she even did the Works Cited Page. "Wait, you did his assignment for him?" "No. I didn't give it to him. I deleted it." "So you spent an hour doing his assignment just to prove a point?" "Yeah." 6,340 13 68

It was a test

Jerry Doubles @jerrydoubles Follow An employer invited six people for an interview by 7:00AM, they were all dressed and sharp before the time. He told them to wait. By 3:00PM, 3 had left. By 6:00PM, he came and met only 2. They got the job. That was the interview. Test of PATIENCE.

The cheese incident

9h I once ordered one pack of tampons and a bottle of Midol through instacart, to my workplace. My courier, a man, substituted my single pack of tampons for an 8oz block of Cracker Barrel Sharp Cheddar Cheese. So, I got cheese, and Midol. Which wouldn't have been the worst thing, but I was at work. It was a solid brick of cheese. My boss found me crying at my desk, sitting on my cardigan (because I was slowly bleeding through my pants), while I ate choppy slices of cheese because the plastic knife I found in my desk kept bending when I'd cut into said brick of cheese. He sent me home. I gave him a crooked slice of cheese as thanks. ← Reply 1.1k
