When you have a snotty torture list like this, I mark your job as "not serious" on my spreadsheet and move on. Plus a six-hour “test drive”? That's called "theft of services," my dude. You're not getting six hours of free work. [1/2]

If you move forward, here's an overview of what to expect:
→ Video interview, with a recruiter or Al, 15 - 30 minutes
→ Skill Assessment, 2 hours (on task)
→ Hiring Manager Interview, 60 - 90 minutes
→ Test Drive, 6 hours
→ Offer Acceptance. Employment is contingent upon the successful completion of reference and background checks.
*Certain steps in the hiring process may be adjusted depending on the position.

My employer has decided that they'd rather split my salary between two people outside the US than continue paying for me, so I'm staring down the barrel of unemployment at the end of this month (again). This is bad news for my immediate financial needs, but good news for my writing time. [1/2]

Fun thing I discovered today: the artist behind Plott Hound 6's cover also did some Star Trek art for Magic: The Gathering! I'm trying really hard not to explode with excitement over all this. I'm truly honored to be sharing a publication with artists of this caliber.

A Magic: The Gathering card titled “Explore.” It depicts Captain Archer on an away mission to a lush planet with a shallow lake. Porthos is chasing after some flying wildlife while Archer surveys the land with his binoculars.

The quote is what gets me.

Arizona DOT installed a wildlife camera at Route 87's pedestrian crossing outside Payson last September. Standard deer migration count. After six months, they had footage of zero deer and 147 clips of the same coyote pressing the crosswalk button with its paw at sunrise. The animal waits for the walk signal. Steps into the road. Crosses at a trot. Every single time. Biologists believe it learned by watching hikers at the adjacent trailhead. "It's not random," said the lead researcher. "That coyote understands cause and effect better than half our interns." DOT voted unanimously to keep the camera running. The coyote hasn't jaywalked once.

Grinding you down is the point. The tech companies doing this are hoping you'll get tired and give up. So don't give up, even if you're tired. The best way to hold this crap at bay is to stop upgrading and buying new devices until Big Tech removes these features.

I don't know if this is "weird" so much as "my life" (which IS undoubtedly weird). Growing up as a Western kid in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia during the 1980s influenced my story "The Beasts at the Oasis." I actually used a few things I learned in my social studies classes there.

In the brush beneath a Mission Bay overpass, two coyotes break into song as a Caltrain barrels past. Their duet — equal parts whimper, howl and bark — rises and falls in chorus with the horn of the train.

I'm going to give everyone a bit of context-free professional advice today: If a hiring manager bad-mouths their whole team and says the company is dysfunctional, but offers you more money to join and promises they're fixing things... RUN. RUN AWAY AND BLOCK THEIR MESSAGES. I wish I had.
