    We had to fill out a “personal biography” at work a couple years ago. Under “Thing I’m Most Proud of” I put “Time Magazine Person of the Year, 2006”.

      People who were born in 2007 will be adults now. As we age, it will become a more rare achievement to have been “Time Magazine Person of the Year, 2006”. What a weird thought.

      That’s a fun thing to put in your bio though. It’s edgy enough to be clear that you were exasperated to have to fill out a bio, but not so much that it makes you seem like an asshole. Very wry

        Oh, no reason. But I was called into my manager’s office because I hadn’t turned it in early. I told everyone around me that they were looking to cut employees by figuring out who could handle more jobs.

        Under “Hobbies” I put “Privateering”. Under “Fluent Languages” I put “None”.

          Haha, nice job helping your fellows cut thru the crap and protect themselves.

          Unrelated but i remember being called into my managers office for not completing an “anonymous” survey (one of those where all the questions are how much your love your job) and when i asked “how do you know that?” She didn’t have an answer. Eventually i filled it out larping as a bootlicker.

          Corporate surveys are nakedly searching for exploitation avenues… Luckily corporate is also dumb as shit

            What is the point in surveys when we can’t trust them enough to fill them in honestly? It is just a complete waste of time, then again that would describe most things HR send my way.
