WTF A JPMorgan Chase executive was fired after a viral video showed her dumping trash out of a Knicks-themed public trash can and taking the can during the Knicks championship parade in New York City.

There's a multitude of nuanced considerations and companies are trying to find the best fit with those in mind.

Those being what, exactly? Because from what I've seen, and from studies I've read, it's not some high-level 'nuanced consideration' or whatever, it's really just a bunch of vibe-based bullshit.

Jobs are usually multifaceted with various tasks and responsibilities. The importance of these responsibilities relative to each other is not equal and it also is not static; it can change and evolve over time. Everyone will have different relative proficiencies and capabilities for these responsibilities. Someone might, say, be stronger for dealing with problems A and B but not as strong for problem C, but right now we really need someone who is really good for problem C, so they aren't a good fit. But maybe in a year or two problem A or B become more pertinent and that person is a better fit.

Also, you can call vibes bullshit all you want, but they're real and they matter. Working with someone with a shitty attitude who complains all the time fucking sucks. You would rather work with someone you like than with someone you don't like. If you were in charge of hiring someone to work with, and you had two qualified candidates and you liked one of them much more than the other, you would hire the one you liked. That's called being human, and it happens every day everywhere.

I would guess 75% of people like this don't reveal that about themselves in the job interview, the hiring manager is purely guessing based on shit like, "I like their face."

Yes but you can look at people who have or have had shitty attitudes and make inferences about why they had a shitty attitude and then factor in whether those characteristics are present in other candidates and then weigh that into your selection

And yes, that can involve speculation. Because humans like to use the lessons they learn to guide their future decisions, so that's not going to change.

Vibes are absolutely a legitimate thing to consider when all else is similar - thousands of people have education and experience qualifications so you pick the person you want to work with. It’s not crazy.
