What's even weirder is the Founder of canonical has a #hiring badge on their LinkedIn profile. What kind of message is that?

Fire and re-hire from a desperate pool of anxious workers who will accept any offer to escape unemployment.

Well, not "any". -15% seems to be the magic number looking at my network and has been like that for 2 years now.

They're going to flip us all like burger patties eventually - we're done on this side.

It's also an opportunity, from a different perspective

For me personally it was a golden year in terms of recommendation bonuses - managed to buy a laptop using just them.

They are hiring. I've seen one role listed for more than a year, and it's because of their hiring process. Here's a random job, by way of example: https://canonical.com/careers/3433732/application Search for "how did you perform", and be baffled at their recruitment strategy.

LOL, I’d forgotten about that idiocy. Imagine being a staff engineer and having an interviewer ask about your high school math performance.

1. I was in the top 0.01% in my state. (Actually true; who gives a crap; it was a quarter century ago and literally no one other than Canonical cares.)

2. You can’t prove me wrong. I can’t prove me right, because I’m not the kind of loser who has a wall of their high school accomplishments they never moved past.

3. The fact that you’re even asking shows that this is an amateur hour leadership team who cares about utterly irrelevant things.

Anyone who has that stupid of a hiring process deserves to have unfilled roles. I’m hiring for several roles right now, and while I ask a great many things, I promise you that none of it relates to their high school math performance.
