< Mahal>
We've run into this at my own employer - well-meaning HR Twit tried to make the job posting prettier and just fucked. it. up.
00:32
< Mahal>
These days we solve the issue with an 'HR can edit this" section and an "HR: do not edit this" section
00:32
<&[R]>
Fair enough, I was just taking the word of an HR person
00:32
< Mahal>
then they can do whatever they want with the pretty wordy bits and leave the tech stack alone
00:32
< Mahal>
And hiring managers do write the requirements in _good_ companies
00:32
< Mahal>
but not all companies are good :P
00:33
< Mahal>
mine is pretty good, but once in awhile you do have to turn "Tech" into "Comprehensible English" and that's where the misunderstandings occur
01:03
<&Reiver>
[R]: You strike me as being somewhat young and idealistic. Would this be an accurate assesment?
01:10
<&[R]>
Ehhh
01:11
<&[R]>
I'd say I'm a little jaded and burned and trying to get myself together after having a long depression
01:11
<&[R]>
Maybe in that way I'm young (as I consider the entirety of those depression years as "lost")
01:11
<&[R]>
But I'm not over the hill either
01:44
<~Vornicus>
translate * scale * yaw * pitch * reorder
01:58
<~Vornicus>
I need to get the data from yaw * pitch * reorder first to collect the data I need to calculate scale and translate.
02:32
< Mahal>
[R] - I would qualify Reiv's statement as "you come across as quite early in your career, if not young in years"
02:34
<&Reiver>
an accurate qualifier
02:37
< catalyst>
even though I had worked there for a couple years, a new hire once described me as still feeling like the new person there
02:38
< catalyst>
does that track at all? I never quite understood what he meant

catalyst: It's quite possible you still didn't act like you fully fit in, with the subtle insecurities of a newbie?
04:10
<&Reiver>
(of course, the insecurities might have been something totally unrelated to that, but it's how they might read it, or something)
04:10 * Reiver is just guessing, but has noticed that in other staff, sometimes.
04:30
< Mahal>
Same - anyone with anxiety issues or what have you 'appears' new, as that "sense of belonging" is generally hand-in-hand with "confidence"
04:31
< Mahal>
I've noticed it myself - when I"ve had non-work stuff affecting my mindset, my work persona is different.
04:31
< Mahal>
In the last ~year or so my non-work stuff settled down and my confidence at work blossomed as a result, because I wasn't constantly spending spoons on anxiety
04:31
< Mahal>
It's been commented on (in a positive way) by staff who've known me for a long time - remembering I've been at my employer for ten years - that the last year or so has been a big change in how I present at work
04:32
< Mahal>
and it's got bugger-all to do with my knowledge at _work_ changing
04:32
< Mahal>
it's that I'm no longer an anxious stressed mess _outside_ of work
04:46
<&Reiver>
Yeah, that.
04:46
<&Reiver>
Mahal, once again, beats me at my own game~
04:51
< Mahal>
sorry??
04:51
< Mahal>
:D :D :D

< catalyst>
oh, I guess I've never felt that confident in myself
08:34
< catalyst>
but that makes sense
08:35
< catalyst>
how *do* you project a feeling of fitting in?
08:37
<&Reiver>
Having enough confidence is key.
08:37
<&Reiver>
Of course, the most common way to project confidence is /being/ confident, in a workplace, that You're Meant To Be There, as it were
08:37
<&Reiver>
It's a tricky one, isn't it
08:43
< catalyst>
it's difficult if you believe that you aren't ever 100% and you're convinced you're a fraud who is going to get fired because you can't keep up
08:43
< catalyst>
thanks, trauma and needing to use work to escape from it
