This is What Happens When You Outsource Jobs to India

[dvarapala]

Not only is this guy sending SPAM emails to potential candidates but the job description isn't even a remotely close match to my actual work history (which it's clear this ****tard hasn't even looked at). Plus it's about a 2-hour commute each way from where I live.

The worst part about the spamming is he’ll get you ignored by people who are actually very interested in you due to the fact they don’t want to get caught up in conflicts involving paying recruiter finder fees between various people who end up with your resume and shop it around themselves.

Able to lift to 35lbs.

That's not a number picked at random. It's the limit of their capability. Had some of them working around me. They can't carry a loaded 5 gallon pail (~40lbs). These Nancy-Boys will attempt to drag it along the floor by the handle. For a person like me who'd easily carry a pail in each hand (easier to balance) it might just be the sorriest thing I ever witnessed on the job.

They could stand to eat a hamburger or two for once in their life. Good grief.

I get emails like that all the time. The job description isn't even remotely close to my skillset. Idiots.

That’s crazy. When I was a young man I could carry two 80 pound bags of rock salt, one under each arm, down a flight of stairs. What a bunch of little pussies we have set to inherit this country.

Do they come through LinkedIn or are they just blind SPAM? Any recruiter who does that when he has access to your LinkedIn profile needs to be fired.

Hey Phred, what's even funnier is the magic carpet driver in India
who took over (outsourced) my position.
I laughed when I saw this:

Blind spam, as I got kicked off LinkedIn a couple of years ago.

Well, I guess working in the ball bearing factory is out. What about a pickle factory or a chemical plant?

Dam that sounds like a line that could of come out of Hogans Heroes!-

I can lift 135-145 lbs; I guess I'm overqualified.

I used to stand 55 gallon drums up that had fallen over onto their side. Need be real talented and quick to do that on concrete because when you lift one end the other end runs away from you. These things could weigh 650-700lbs depending on what's inside and if you didn't get it on the first or second try you'd need to take a break before trying it again. The drum itself weighs >50lbs. Doubt a vegetarian could even lift an empty one... Hard to say though, never saw one of those guys with enough initiative to try.

I think one of the prerequisites of being a vegetarian is to lack the strength and ability to change out a flat tire. Do Subarus even come with a spare?

I know nothing about foreign vehicles. Only dick lickers drive those around here... Not that there's anything wrong with that, somebody's gotta do it.

I have talents.

And, LinkedIn has unstable people as members.
