Seen in the Scottish section of the supermarket:
Haggis-flavoured potato crisps. So far I’m resisting.
When you give in, I’d enjoy a review.
Thon crisps are braw!
I really want to taste that.

You’ve got a couple of the old style packs there. They’ve recently changed the name:
And yes, they’re veg* friendly.
Is that Lynn Ferguson’s brother? I need to relisten to Millport sometime.
This is making the rounds and I had to share it somewhere. This seems as good a spot as any.
Ask a Manager: I was rejected because I told my interviewer I never make mistakes
A reader writes:
I was rejected from a role for not answering an interview question.
I had all the skills they asked for, and the recruiter and hiring manager loved me. (…)
(Not sure why this is not embedding.)
Choice reader comment: “This was a pretty catastrophic blunder for someone who never makes mistakes.”

The only surprise to me was that he shared a story that paints him so awfully.
I am told that these “advice” columns often accumulate various related questions into one scenario, and on occasion make up letters gasp
Possible but the tone of that letter was so consistently arrogant sexism that I’m inclined to think it’s true. The guy, because of course he was a guy, dripped condescension for every person who interviewed him. All of whom were women. If the boss boss had been a guy, he might not have dismissed her experience so easily. Men in tech fields are notorious for discounting the expertise of the women around them and particularly above them on the corporate ladder.
For what it’s worth, the AAM editor addresses this in an alert at the top of the comments section. Apparently many commenters think that this item is made up. I don’t think the AAM editors make up letters generally; in any case from the editor’s note it seems like if anyone made up the letter it was the submitter. Still a valid question! Poe’s law, and all that.
