Pipster@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you play an instrument? What's your favorite thing about it?English6·1 month agoI played trumpet as a child but desparately craved to learn something else as my musical tastes didn’t really match it - its hard to be interested in playing an instrument when you don’t really like the music you are learning.
Later in life I bought an emotional support bass but I never really found the time or motivation to learn anything more complext than the famous riff from The Chain.
Pipster@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Have you ever hired someone just because they were more attractive?English18·1 month agoNot personally but my old manager certainly did. I really wish I had reported to HR but I was still new, early in my career and the company wasn’t very corporate - HR was just a lady who was an early hire without any real credentials.
He (my manager) would regularly hand CVs around the team to see if they were a good fit skill wise but would also search for (and print off!) any facebook photos he could find that showed skin. He almost exclusively looked for and hired women. He later got sacked for bullying and generally being very inappropriate.
