I can't believe this guy fucking walked out from a 70k job cause of a 45 min wait, without even inquiring about the interview process.

And he was unemployed for a while.

Jesus Christ Almighty. FUCK.

Comments like this sicken me. The guy waited nearly an hour. That borders on being torture which is illegal in the civilized world.

Thacker's reputation as some kind of crazy egomaniac goes back for many years. I used to see him on local forums in Atlanta pulling this sort of thing like 12 years ago. I guess he never changed.

True. There are plenty of exceptions. It's pretty unusual for a position that is required to pay overtime for a position to have "salaried" employees though. Even my father in law who has worked for IBM for 30+ years is still an hourly employee because he is a technician and would be paid overtime regardless (and gets overtime quite often).

A lot of big corps are like that for every single non-management employee.

It's only really common NOT to get OT for a normal "worker" job at smaller companies. Which represents a lot of jobs, but if you really want OT and other benefits a bigger corp generally has them simply because of employment laws/risk of class action.

What the fuck?? More details PLEASE

Thacker should take this experience and write a novel about the trials and tribulations of waiting forty-five minutes in the modern competitive job market. Not sure if it would be drama or romance, but it'd be sure to make the New York Times bestseller list.

I think it'd be a black comedy. In the sense that he takes it dead seriously but all the readers are laughing ath im.

Waterboarding, waiting an hour, basically the same.

Ok I'm pretty sure I just found posts of Thacker admitting he got the clap from random girls.

Honestly... it was a year ago and I don't remember it being this bad.

However, when going through my facebook friends list and I saw her new pic... dude.

She was also related to the only STD I've ever had. Got that CLAP real bad.... she called me one day yelling saying I gave it to her... but about 3 days later I started getting symptoms. Major case of the drip dick.. worst thing ever. Got it cleared up with some antibiotics though.

I'm like 85% sure that's our Thacker.

I'm not gonna go dig up dirt, needless to say most of those forums are long gone. Thacker was really into the Atlanta street racing scene. He serial trolled every local car forum, trying to instigate races with people or just generally shit stir. He got himself banned from just about everywhere. I even asked him once on GAF if he was the same Thacker and he confirmed.

There's no overtime pay if you are a salaried employee. You have hours but it is largely more flexible.

Another salaried here that gets overtime, the only software developer in my company that does. I think it was in my contract because I was so low on the totem pole when I started, but I worked my way up pretty far and I still get overtime.

That's actually pretty awesome, not just humorous.

Thacker might not be the smartest guy around but he's at the very least interesting.

If milk is the official drink of GAF make mine a Vellocet +.

When we start digging up random crap from other forums, that's a sign that the thread has run its course.

Maybe someday, far in the future, Thacker will make another thread, a thread about how he learned to control his pride and got an awesome job. We can hope, right?

In the meantime, everyone please enjoy a nice tall glass of milk.
