Re: Rant Thread

[blitzwing]

To weed out people who can't work under a time crunch?

I suppose. It seems like an unnecessary criteria for a standard retail job. That's not exactly a pressure-cooker environment.

Um... really? Any cashier job (be it store or fast food) it's pretty important for the worker to work fast and efficiently in order to 'process' customers so that there doesn't become a huge bottleneck.

Re: Rant Thread

[blitzwing]

Yeah really. You can only get so rattled over a line of people with shopping carts. It's not exactly life or death. It's sliding veggies across a scanner, not trying to tie off a spurting artery.

And you're always going to get assholes yelling at you, or not speaking your language, or any number of problems that can fluster you. Nevermind any sort of technical problems (equipment failure, etc).

Especially if it's someone's first job, it's quite likely they could panic or get upset. Though that can't really be tested by speed-problems either. That's just blank efficiency without any distractions.

Still, if you can't be efficient even without distractions, it's unlikely they'll want to hire you and trust that you could be efficient WITH distractions.

Yeah, I'm not sure how useful it really is at testing how one performs under stress. Someone could just be completing few problems/going slowly because they're detail-oriented and like to do a thorough job.

Or because they're honest and are actually working the problems. I don't know how many people would think to do it, but a lot of the problems could be found through Google.

efficient even without distractions

And then there's that issue. Some of us are taking the tests in nice quiet bedrooms. Others people will be taking the test with their kids yelling in the background, or in a public library where the distraction level varies.

The whole thing just doesn't seem very useful to me.

Me! This is me! I'd totally use Google to double-check on things though, but that's because my job isn't the kind where you're expected to keep everything in your head. In fact, stressing things through is the worst you can do here.

Re: Rant Thread

[tabaqui]

Yeah, but that's a lot different than sitting and doing 'problems' on a computer. In real life, you always have the wild card of actual humans mucking things up and making the job easier or harder, depending.
