CEO creates ‘snowflake test’ for job applicants

[@Osos-man]

Entitlement... Example.. HE is entitled to decide who works for him because HE built the company.. HE does Not have to change his policy so your feelings don't get hurt.. and if that hurts your feelings.. shut up and go start your own thing.. don't try to change his.

[@timolange633]

That is exactly Right. He put in the work to built up his Company. If you want to do Things differently then go out there and open your own Company.

"You know, the irony of this test is it's not even so much about the answers, it's about how people formulate the answers and how they stand by that. I want some hardcore Americans, people who are proud to be American." Then it *is* about the answer, isn't it.

[@McManMinecraft]

I think he is saying that he doesn't care what the answer is as long as it's along the lines of them liking America and not being some person who hates everything America stands for and such.

[@isodoublet]

Which means that it *is* about the answer, then, and he should just own up to what he's doing. It's ideological screening. I don't have an inherent problem with it, but be honest about what you're doing.

[@solonlysander2180]

@Avicenna - Actually, Kyle misused "irony" when he made that comment. Definition of irony; "the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect"; "a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result." So, rather than saying "irony", Kyle should have said the "purpose" of the tests is not even so much the answers. Kyle also contradicts himself, as in the begging of the video he makes mention of "you young activists" in a way that was speak down of young activists and making fun of them. Then he says of the questions..."it's about how people formulate the answers and how they stand by that". So, he wants someone who has the conviction to "stand by that" or stand for something. I guess it is only okay if they stand for the same things he does.

[@isodoublet]

@SoloLysander yep. And then that he has to disguise his ideological test in this kind of "it's not about the answers" language shows that he doesn't actually have the conviction to stand behind what he believes in without subterfuge. Now *that*'s irony, wouldn'tcha say?

*Mi nk* if you despise human beings so much, have you considered automation, or changing your business model so you can treat your employees fairly? It sounds like you started with insufficient capital, or made a poor choice in business. Remember that most startups _by far_ need to fail in order to keep wealth more adequately distributed, since our current fiscal state prefers natural wealth redistribution than state policies. (Otherwise capitalist markets end like Monopoly, where few people owning everything and no-one liking anyone very much.) So your company will do society a greater service if it goes under than if it becomes profitable. And if you think it's appropriate to underpay and disregard your employees, maybe that's for the best.

He's on the right track but he's making it way too complivated. You only need to ask one question: "What is the one thing uppermost in your mind when you're applying for a position?" Just the one question. The one answer you're looking for is this: "The most important thing is how I can help my employer make a profit." That's it. Only one in every 500 applicants will give you this answer. I don't care if the person is a purple-spotted lesbian snowflake who walks with a limp. Doesn't matter. All I care about is whether the employee is loyal, hardworking, disciplined, and can help me grow my business.

that question will get you a lot of bad employees.cause just cause someone tells you what you want to hear doesn't make them a good employee. the best way to find a good employee is to ask questions that have to do with their personality with no obvious right answers.that way you know who you are really hiring and don't end up with a lazy ass kisser.

This is a guy who came from the upper middle class suburbs and thinks that because he had to work at the red lobster as a teen, this means he really understands overcoming adversity.

The main reasons he cites in the first 1 min have nothing to do with political leaning or perspective, it was all about basic competencies. Then he somehow transitions to "Americans"... as if the same idiots he just talked about not wanting to hire, have not been fostered and brought up *in* American schools, and we should be questioning not their values, but why the schools failed to teach them basic things like civics. Then the interview transitions to yet another sub-plot : loyalty, and then some ridiculous 'mindset' as he calls it, that is basically about work ethic. Then in conclusion, there aren't any 'right or wrong' answers, and you have to stand by your position, especially on your view of the police and guns (as if this matters in a workplace? Police = good, robbers = bad; guns = seriously dangerous and often useful). This is pure agit-prop, Fox nonsense; the red meat it's zonked out viewers lap up like milk. He concludes: "I'm going up against people who have a sense of entitlement and won't hustle" - which is some sort of hiring dog whistle for liberals? As if ONLY liberals don't have hustle and a sense of gratitude? C'mon anyone who has hustle and respects hard work is someone ANY CEO should hire regardless of political stripe. In short the logic here is just plain missing and this is a pure puff piece that ends up being right wing drivel.

Like he said at the beginning, the answers don't matter as much as the way they're formulated & presented. 2. As to the nature of the questions, he implies that a lot of his client base is strongly patriotic, probably conservative in nature. Therefore, it would make sense to hire people who feel strongly about patriotism and who are conservative in nature. No use hiring a liberal whose values would clash with most of his clients. Imagine sending over someone who thinks the armed forces are brutal killers to a client composed of mostly veterans. That wouldn't go over well.

Nationalism is considered social conservatism and social conservatism is a result of low IQ. If one cannot question why believing one's country is superior one is missing that ability. The inability to question authority, the government, and national supremacy are all evidence of low IQ. On the other hand, the ones in power, able to sway you to obey authority for their own gains do not have a low IQ. Just those whom are tricked into thinking nationalism is in the people's best interest.

I'd rate a 9 out of 11 because the details are suspicious and require further investigation (hence why I've come to outsource this question to the faithful followers of FOX). My attempts at making a painting out of love-juice would make Roy Moore blush, but I did it on an easel rather than a 13-year-old girl so I don't think he would approve. EDIT: Shit, I just realized this is a video made in earnest by FOX. Now I can laugh again.

Also, just because Roy Moore lost to Doug Jones in the AL election, doesn't mean he didn't diddle kids.

I like the Danish system better - the economic productivity is about the same as in the US, but they work 5 hours less/week than Americans and have a legal right to 4 weeks and paid vacation each year. 12.5% of your pay (is added on top of your regular pay) goes to paying for your vacation. That money is paid out when you take your vacation. So if I make $20/hour then I get paid $2.5 into my vacation time or a total of $22.5/hour. In that way Danes truely work for their vacations and aren't at the mercy of their boss to say when they can take a day off or not.

[@leongkinwai9709]

Mess8424 it's at least explicitly worded to avoid political bias, but a lot of the questions still overlap with very political implications (policing and how it should be carried out and questioning how much of what one earns is entirely their effort and not in part due to the circumstances they're in), or at least they are in the United States. The exception is the one about crying, I think. The rest still carry a heavy political connotation in the States afaik.

Things could be reversed, and if there was a shortage of jobs, working for this man may be someone's only option. He seems blind to the fact that he is not in control of the labor market. 2) His tactics border on a form of manipulation that you find with those offering those free seminars on how to get rich. In exchange for accepting whatever demeaning, low wage work that he is offering, he gives you a pat on the back, encouraging you that you are such a good non-entitled person for coming and working for him. Truly humble, patriotic, and American. Work for him if you need work. Don't work for him just to prove to someone that you have noble character traits.
