"Thanks for your service, bye" 10:32 <@Corydon76> It may be, but the primary reason that managment balked wasn't the totality of the fee, but that they wanted the fee before we could ascertain that the candidate would be a good fit. 10:59 <@Dolemite> Evilpig: Damn, what bullshit has Ticketmaster made up to add up to $20 in fees!? 11:05 <@Evilpig> fuck if I know. there isn't even a real damn ticket involved 11:06 <@Evilpig> USD $5.45 (Order Processing Fee) 11:06 <@Evilpig> USD $4.5 (Facility Charge) 11:06 <@Evilpig> USD $11.15 (Service Fee) 11:06 <@Evilpig> USD $1.04 (Additional Taxes) 11:06 <@Evilpig> how the service fee and order processing fee are different I can't even imagine 11:07 <@brimstone> "Additional Taxes" is my favorite 11:07 <@Evilpig> they really should just label them, "fuck you" "because we can" and "we wanted more" 11:08 <@brimstone> but this way, they show you where your money is going! 11:08 <@Corydon76> The fees are your share of the boondoggles of them buying out all of their competitors. 11:13 <@Dolemite> The Order Processing Fee is the marked up cost of the condom. The Service Fee is for bending you over and sticking it in. 11:14 <@Dolemite> I remember when the "Box Office" was an actual place you could go to and buy tickets, and the price was simply the ticket price. 11:15 <@Dolemite> You had to watch for the horses pulling buggies up and down Broadway... 11:16 <@Evilpig> you still do 11:16 <@Evilpig> that part hasn't changed 11:18 <@Dolemite> heh 11:19 <@Evilpig> since I'm actually "working" from home today. I guess I should get a shower 11:23 <@Dolemite> Resist the pants 11:57 * aestetix hugs Dolemite 12:34 <@Mirage> You used to be able to go to Castner Knott and buy them directly. 12:40 <@Corydon76> What, showers or pants? 12:42 < TheDukh> It always sucks when you schedule a final interview at some place, and the day before, the recruiter contacts you saying "thanks, but we just filled the position". It's like a giant smack sometimes. 12:43 < aestetix> sounds like a bullet dodged 12:43 < aestetix> ie they suck at communication 12:44 < TheDukh> maybe.

Either 2nd HR person rejects the first person's initial acceptance, or they already had a candidate they planned to hire and had to put up a farce hiring process. 13:37 < ^020d> In a real candidate search you don't make the decision until you've seen the people you invited for interviews. 13:38 < TheDukh> Guess I was just a scapegoat for the interview process 13:38 < ^020d> The most blatant I've had is where I walk in the ROOM and with a look of disgust on a face I'm told they JUUUUUUUUUST hired someone. 13:38 <@Mirage> re: Buy from CP..Concert Tickets. I used to always get mine from the one in Hickory Hollow at the Layaway/Customer Service office hidden in the back. 13:38 < TheDukh> shapr: EY, PwC, Deloitte, KPMG are the big 4, in regards to audit firms 13:42 < ^020d> If you were up for a final interview they should at least go through it and "We'll let you know" until the #1 guy actually signs all the paperwork and is ready to start. Then they can still politely hire you if he drops out last minute. 14:56 <@ezelkow1> at least they told you 14:57 -!- Netsplit *.net <-> *.split quits: @ChanServ 14:57 <@ezelkow1> went through the process with amazon, they had a phone interview scheduled after i completed their 'tests', and then they just never called 14:57 <@ezelkow1> emailed the hr person and what not, no response 14:58 <@ezelkow1> either way worked out, found a better job that paid more than they did with better benefits, and still similar work 15:09 < dfused> ghosting by recruiters is a huge issue. and one that I feel should be ridiculed by everyone to try to make it stop. 15:31 -!- Netsplit over, joins: @ChanServ 18:35 -!- skiboy [skiboy@gateway/vpn/privateinternetaccess/skiboy] has joined #se2600 18:39 <@Evilpig> http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/suspect-ky-school-shooting-identified-journalist-son-article-1.3782243 18:39 < PigBot> Kentucky school shooting suspect identified as journalist's son - NY Daily News (at www.nydailynews.com) http://tinyurl.com/y7x7nko6 18:49 < ^020d> Sad story all around 18:51 <@Evilpig> stupid porker.
