This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Losing the job after a month of demonstrating you don't know what you claimed to is not a great return on that investment...

It is, because you now have the title on your resume and can just lie about getting fired. You just need one company to not call a previous employer or do a half hearted background check. Someone will eventually fail and hire you by accident, so this strategy can be repeated ad infinitum.

No actual professional company or job of value is not going to check your curriculum or your work history.... So like sure you may get that job at quality inn as a night manager making $12 an hour because they didn't fucking bother to check your resume...

But you're not getting some CS job making $120,000 a year because they didn't check your previous employer. Lol

Sorry, you're not making it past the interview stage in CS with that level of knowledge. Even on the off chance that name on the resume helps, you're still getting fired again. You're never building up enough to actually last long enough searching to get to the next grift.

I am sorry that you believe that all corporations have these magical systems in place to infallibly hire skilled candidates. Unfortunately, the idealism of academia does not always transfer to the reality of industry.

Idiot.
