| BlackOps | Well, I finally might have to leave Ubuntu. I applied for a position with Canonical and they want me to take a test but I have a disability and I don't think I'll be able to perform in it which would lead to a legal situation if I file a federal discrimination complaint. | 20:12 |
| BlackOps | So, that means so long everyone ... Unfortunately, as I have been a hardcore Ubuntu user for years. | 20:12 |
| oerheks | why would a disability stop you? | 20:13 |
| arraybolt3 | And what was the test? | 20:14 |
| BlackOps | I am a pretty smart guy but they want me to take a time based test and I have a disability that causes a delay in processing information. Like for instance, if I see the picture of an object or have to solve a logic problem, it takes me like 50% more time than the average person and the idea of the test is to weed out people like me. | 20:15 |
| BlackOps | I received my master's degree with a 4.0 though and my undergraduate with a 2.88 which wasn't very good but I do have two degrees and I'm not a damn genius. Not saying that. I'm just saying I'm qualified but they're trying to practice what is called defacto discrimination in the U.S. | 20:16 |
| BlackOps | Of course, if a lawsuit is filed, they will have to remove the test depending on the success of the suit | 20:17 |
| BlackOps | I'll file a complaint with the EEOC then formalize the charges and see where it goes | 20:17 |
| leftyfb | BlackOps: you do understand Canonical is a UK-based company right? | 20:18 |
| oerheks | federal discrimination complaint... but if you did not attend, what makes you think you are in title to say so? | 20:18 |
| BlackOps | They still have to follow U.S. law. It's a U.S. position | 20:18 |
| arraybolt3 | No offense, but from doing Ubuntu development, some of this stuff requires hard and fast work to meet deadlines. If something keeps you from physically doing a job, I don't see how it's discrimination to not give you the job. | 20:18 |
| BlackOps | It's a position for the Americas | 20:18 |
| oerheks | foolish, imho | 20:18 |
| BlackOps | I've worked for companies doing the same thing and they had to follow the laws here | 20:18 |
| BlackOps | I've done this before...Not the exact same situation but I've filed federal and state complaints | 20:19 |
| BlackOps | you might not like it because you're not disabled | 20:19 |
| BlackOps | But I know what I'm doing | 20:19 |
| leftyfb | good luck | 20:19 |
| oerheks | oh, you are just looking for a quick buck... | 20:19 |
| BlackOps | You don't really mean that | 20:19 |
| BlackOps | That's trolling | 20:19 |
| oerheks | yes i do | 20:19 |
| leftyfb | I'm not sure this is the best place to discuss this | 20:19 |
| BlackOps | I know it's not | 20:19 |
| BlackOps | Face the music though | 20:19 |
| arraybolt3 | And this is not the first time you, BlackOps, have been caught trolling. | 20:20 |
| leftyfb | BlackOps: good luck | 20:20 |
| BlackOps | you guys like a company that practices discrimination | 20:20 |
| BlackOps | Like a restaurant in the '50s that won't serve blacks | 20:20 |
| BlackOps | But you guys would still eat there | 20:20 |
| leftyfb | BlackOps: lets not | 20:20 |
| leftyfb | BlackOps: take it elsewhere | 20:21 |
| BlackOps | No, I agree. I don't want to talk to people who support a discriminatory company. Block me too | 20:21 |
| BlackOps | I'm out | 20:22 |
| leftyfb | you know that won't be the last we hear from them | 20:22 |
| arraybolt3 | lol and this from the person who supposedly has a Masters in cybersecurity but doesn't know how to Google the way to inspect the running OSes memory? (That was the time I dealt with them in #ubuntu, I figured they were probably trolling.) | 20:23 |
| oerheks | now he is listening in again, to see if we react on his rant in ##linux | 20:26 |
| oerheks | good job BlackOps | 20:26 |
