India needs you!

... or me in any case. The last days I seem to have become very popular on the Indian subcontinent.

The funny thing is that all of them are offering the same job at the same company. Seems that this big Indian company doesn't hire one head-hunter office but instead mobilized all recruiters (quite some called Bhanu).

The lack of @Nagesh saddens me a little.

Or the company just posted a job opening on its website and headless-head-hunters run with it to try and find a match.

To whom do the outsourcers outsource?
Eventually all work on the planet will be done by one man.

Blakey is looking for work, and he might be willing to relocate.

Dude, you forgot to say "@blakeyrat"...

Two months later in the news:
"American citizen being deported from India after a reported incident in which the american attacked several coworkers with a nunchaku made of 17 inch monitors while yelling: Nagesh is TRWTF!"

I know one particular company that seems to try to recruit for companies in my area. Their office is definitely in India. One called me at 6 AM about two years ago.

Years ago, I lived in New Zealand, and was therefore occasionally around Australians. One thing you learn quickly is that Australians exult in, to put it nicely, bluntness. This is likely caused by living in a country where if anyone misunderstands you, they're likely to die immediately from whatever just bit/stung them, if they're lucky. This also seems to extend to a level of vulgarity most other people find more than a little offensive. Learning enough business-speak and corporate procedure to successfully control the planet would require substantial retraining.
-
Eventually we'll be well organized enough that all the work on the planet can be done by one Australian man. If he feels like it. After going for a surf.

Rupert seems to have it down.

Kiwis are no better. The ones I have been around are the equal to any Australian when it comes to vulgarity. A Kiwi friend came to visit and we stopped for lunch at a local McDonalds where there were several school buses parked outside. We walk in and the lines are very long and he exclaimed, in front of over a hundred kids and teacher, "Oi! You have got to be fist-fucking me!"
-
Yeah, I've known a few like that too. They seem to find it funny.
The horrible part about living there, though, was when there was an American tourist around. You could always tell, because you could hear everything they were saying very clearly over whatever background noise happened to be around at the time. *cringe* I... I'm not like that, am I? ...and it's not exactly an uncommon occurrence.
Also, DISCOURSE! YOU CUT OUT A SENTENCE!

Recruiters suck at matching candidates with positions. I work 25 miles north of where I live, and most recruiters email me with opportunities that are even farther north. I have my home address on my resume, but they ignore that and look at the location of my current job, using that as the location to use.
-
I know the feeling. Most offers I get (excluding this Indian invasion) are for Brussels, Belgium where I lived and worked before. Meanwhile I live about 800 kilometres to the east in Berlin, Germany. I always reply that I'm not planning to commute by plane.
Edit: Should I start a new thread about Discourse needlessly censoring a country name? What on earth is offensive about the name of a small country between France, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany and (with some sea in between) the UK? Or is this a Monty Python joke?

Post a formal complaint on meta.d and see what happens

Joke? Yes. Monty Python? No.

That's a local setting here on TDWTF.

Try reading Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Well I certainly didn't expect to it censor stuff on here 'in the wild' so to speak.
Should I change the censor list?
In answer to your questions @YellowOnline:
- Belgium is seen as 'offensive' because of this.
- This was recently discovered by some of the denizens of this forum who (like myself) were previously unaware that the US decided to replace the word 'fuck' with the word 'Belgium.'
- Thus started a meme on here where it was seen as a swearword.
- After some time (about a month ago?) I noticed that Discourse had implemented a censorship filter, and thus we had a new toy to play with/abuse/find bugs with. I stuck 'elgiu' and 'Belgium' in there due to #3, and it's been like that ever since.
-
I did read the book, but obviously not a censored American version.
-
Not that I think the censoring is necessary, but the result is entertaining.
-
It reminds me of the spam filter of my previous employer: Gone Phishing. I'm the Juan in the article. Lorne made that up because of the real name requirement.
-
I personally think Belgium's funnier than the original.
They use the word "fuck" in screenplays. Ha ha! Welcome to literally every single stand-up set since 1975!!!
They use the word "Belgium" in screenplays, ok, now that's funny.
-

I didn't realize that you'd actually censored the word until just now.
"This was recently discovered by some of the denizens of this forum who (like myself) were previously unaware that the US decided to replace the word 'fuck' with the word 'Belgium.'"
That's funny because I didn't know it had been censored until it came up here. Or maybe I read it somewhere else coincidentally right before it was mentioned here.

3 weeks ago..
Why else did you think everyone was belgium-ming about for?

Here we go - first ever post about it - DiscoSearch not too shabby for finding this...

I thought a handful of people were doing it on purpose!
-
well we do like saying belgium....
-

Plus, consider the source. It would be just like people here to do it as some kind of, I don't know, performance art.
-
yep. just like the bots!
-

Same here, I didn't realize it was actually being censored until some time later. Mostly because of Discoursistency, it would be censored in one post and not in the next, or censored in a quote but not in the rest of the post content.
-
The elgiu one takes some effort to trigger: Belgium

B■m, Kn■ckers, Kn■ckers, B■tty, and Semprini

The belgium-ing thing was also a bit buggy the first day or two.

It was a cl■■■ic mistake.

It was a pretty big clusterelgiu.

Not so much, they actually avoided those kind of issues. It was mostly discoursistent. Sometimes it would censor, sometimes it wouldn't, with absolutely no discernible pattern. If you decided to edit a post, Discourse might decide to change it's mind about whether to censor that post. Very odd behavior.
-
-
Let's see what this triggers:
"Mr. Cockburn from Scunthorpe and Mr. Libshitz from Belgium, both ardent Arsenal supporters, finished magna cum laude their shitake mastercourse in Sussex. There's now a show on Canal + about them."
Edit: Disappointing result :(
-
I swear there was a support topic on meta.d that someone linked here about that.
Edit:

Considering I only stuck two words (technically one word and a partial) into the filter for testing/abuse of the feature on here, I wouldn't expect it to censor anything else. In fact it'd be reporting it as a bug if it had.
And as noted - it won't censor partials, so even if cock, cunt, shit, arse, cum, sex and anal (I think that's all of them) were in the list only one of them would have got censored anyway.
We aren't particular fans of censorship - and certainly not that sort - on here..
P.S. you forgot Peniston. (Stop sniggering at the back there...)
-
Glad to hear. I'll have to use België, Belgique or Belgien I guess.
By the way, reading "buttbuttinate" again made me laugh out loud.
-

Test: What about Belgium?

That's a lot of extra typing to get around a censor especially when
<o/>would work just as well as<span></span>.See?: B<o/>elgium
-
Good ideas. Makes three workarounds:
- Be<o/>lgium
- Belgium
- BeIgium
Last one is cheating though and can be broken easily.

You have a lot of nerve pointing that out while browsing thedailywtf.com
