A friend of mine has once sent me this job posting:
https://skillshot.pl/jobs/...
saying to me: 'You _need_ to see what they wrote for their 3rd requirement!'.

...
The fuck!?!

Since _when_ is empathy a fucking requirement for testers?

We had a good laugh about that.

Seems more decent than 98.7% of job postings in London

Empathy can also mean understanding the way someone thinks, aka can you put yourself in their shoes and find bugs they would be bothered by.

Doubt that's what they meant when they put that as a line though...

red flag but I'm eternally paranoid

empathy means you suspend yourself and only care about the needs of others. means they don't want you to exist. it's all about them. no complaining now

@jestdotty NGL to me it sounds like “risks of wokism”

@retoor Can't get fired for saying the wrong thing if you don't say anything

@retoor Definitely, hence the quiet. The current people I'm working with are more left leaning but don't really bring up politics at work, unless it's something larger but not huge (e.g. Trump) but will mention leaving Twitter. Getting hired here was a funny (but simple) story as well

"You should be empathetic to what we managers put our devs through."
