So I am applying for jobs and there is this company i stumbled upon…in their job application they literally ask you for your grades in school. They require you have a Bachelors degree btw. So what the fuck? And they also require you to justify why your grades are low if they are low. Bitch I am in my mid 20s with a degree, why tf my school grades matter? it is called “Canonical” and you can see the application on their website btw. Fucking idiots.
I’m 40 now, with a master’s. I applied for a job where they asked for my undergraduate transcripts. I had them on hand, but I almost laughed the employer out of the proverbial building.
What bearing would my course work from checks notes 17 fucking years ago (Christ I’m a geezer) have on anything? I’ve got 15 years of solid experience in my field. Gtfo.
Linux was meant to be for the people, for the common tech guy, yet these idiots found a way to make it elitist.
