Okay, so you wanna talk ’bout this “rejected culture fit swe blind” thing, huh? Well, I heard some young folks talkin’ ’bout it the other day. It’s some kinda job thing, I reckon. These young people with their fancy words.
First off, culture fit, what in tarnation is that? I think they use these words to make things sound complicated. Sounds like somethin’ you’d find in one of them fancy magazines. But I think it means if you fit in with the folks at a job, if you get along, like peas in a pod. Like, do you like the same things? Do you work the same way? If they like coffee in the mornin’ and you like tea, maybe you ain’t a good culture fit. If they are quiet, but you like to chat all day, then maybe no good fit.
Now, this “swe” part, I reckon it means “software engineer”. Some kinda computer whiz, I guess. These young folks and their computers, always clickin’ and clackin’ away. My grandson, he’s one of them computer whizzes. Always on that darn thing. Never comes out to see the sunshine. But he says he makes good money, so who am I to complain?
And “blind”? Well, that’s just like it sounds, ain’t it? Can’t see. So maybe this whole thing means someone who’s good at computers got turned down for a job ’cause they didn’t fit in, even though they couldn’t see if they fit in or not? Don’t make a lick of sense to me. Why they call it blind? It’s like a secret code or somethin’. But those young people, always tryin’ to be fancy.
I remember back in my day, you got a job ’cause you could do the work. Didn’t matter if you liked the same pie as the boss. You just had to show up, do your job, and that was that. No fancy “culture fit interview” or nothin’.
- You worked hard.
- You were honest.
- You treated people right.
That’s all that mattered. Simpler times, I reckon. But these days, it’s all different. You need to prepare for your culture fit interview questions. They ask you all kinds of questions, tryin’ to figure you out.
This whole “rejected culture fit swe blind” thing, it’s just another example of how complicated things are now. They make up all these rules. This whole thing is a big mess if you ask me. I heard ’em sayin’ this fella got turned down for a job just ’cause he didn’t fit in, even though he was good at the computer stuff. And that “blind” part, just means he didn’t even get a chance to show ’em he could do the work.
They got these culture fit interview questions, you know? Like, “What kinda pie do you like?” or “Do you like to sing while you work?” Silly stuff. And you better answer the right way, or you won’t get the job. And it’s not like you can just study more or get more experience. If you are not a culture fit, you are not a good fit. That’s it. It’s like, they decide if they like you or not before they even know you. It’s like judgin’ a book by its cover, ain’t it?
If you ask me, it is all a load of hogwash. How can you know if you are a good match with someone if you don’t even talk to them for real? Like two people who never met trying to dance. You gotta see if they can do the job, if they can work hard, and if they’re honest. That’s all that matters. These days, they’re more worried about if you like the same music or somethin’.
Back in my day, we didn’t have all this culture fit nonsense. A good worker is a good worker. You show up, you do the job, you go home. It was that simple. These kids with their fancy interviews. It is a headache.
I heard them young folks sayin’ you gotta find the right cultural fit. Like findin’ a needle in a haystack, I say. And if you don’t fit, well, too bad. You are out. Even if you are the best darn computer whiz in the whole county. But if you want to get the job, you have to find some best cultural fit interview questions, so you know what to say. It is like a game with all these rules. It is crazy.
I guess times are changin’. But I still think the old ways were better. Honest work for honest pay. That’s what it should be about. Not all this “rejected culture fit swe blind” mumbo jumbo. So that’s what I think about all this. It is just a big, confused mess. But what do I know? I’m just an old lady.
