ESPN looking for folks

Just remember: This is the Worldwide Leader, everyone.

 

I agree...

However,

They should have the decency to treat people like human beings, not pawns they can discard whenever they please. I've submitted a resume or two on their confusing site, never heard from them and moved on. In the cases of mustangj17 and NBAonNBC, they got far enough where they should have received a phone call instead of being left twisting in the wind. I would kill to work for the Worldwide Leader, but I also feel they don't care about you unless they want you, i.e. Brian Windhorst and Michael Wallace.

 

I believe dkp was using the phrase ironically.

They abuse the people interviewing for this job, which kinda makes sense because they abuse them after hiring, too.

 

WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!
If it's this screwed up going in, you know what it's going to be like once you're in.

 

I was. I forgot the blue font, which I believe is custom when using sarcasm.

 

This, and other tests like it, can't tell if you can do the job.

 

Oh, come the fuck on.

No one gets "abused" in their job. Not at ESPN, not anywhere else. You can leave any time you want to. You're not chained to a wall and beaten.

My 16 months there were good. Great benefits, great pay, good people, challenging job, FANTASTIC bosses. So don't act, as someone who's never been inside the walls, that ESPN is some horror job that people put up with just to have it on their resume.

 

I had a friend who ended up going there at a higher position. Said I should be thankful I didn't end up there.

 

Sometimes we say polite things to people who aren't good enough.

"God, you should be glad you didn't go to that million-dollar wedding. It was so gaudy, what with all the diamonds. And the lobster wasn't even all that great."

 

Hey now!

 

Your wedding was a million-dollar one? I'm pissed I wasn't invited, even for subpar lobster.
