Recruiter mocking OTD

Don’t Feed the Beast – the Great Tech Recruiter Infestation:

Except many don’t grok the “never contact me again”. Ravenous for the profit they’ll make from a choice DevOps role they try again from their personal email, or chase me down on LinkedIn. One recruiter – behind on her pissing-everyone-off quota for the month – tried pathos. “But it’s my colleague who spammed and insulted you” she whined, “why stop me doing my job?”. “Because the sooner your festering shitheap of a company goes bust the better” I [mostly] told her. The response was pure recruiter genius:

“What if I get him fired, can I put you forward then?”

Awful, backstabby, no-honour-among-thieves, very-bad people.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
