[02:45] <lotuspsychje> good morning
[20:12] <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.
[20:13] <oerheks> why would a disability stop you?
[20:14] <arraybolt3> And what was the test?
[20:15] <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.
[20:16] <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.
[20:17] <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
[20:18] <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
[20:19] <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
[20:20] <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
[20:21] <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
[20:22] <BlackOps> I'm out
[20:22] <leftyfb> you know that won't be the last we hear from them
[20:23] <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.)
[20:26] <oerheks> now he is listening in again, to see if we react on his rant in ##linux
[20:26] <oerheks> good job BlackOps
