Am I being a cynical monster? My office is forcing us to participate in a Volunteer Day where we clean up a local park while wearing bright orange company t-shirts for a corporate photo-op. I’d love to actually help the community, but the fact that we are being tracked for attendance and forced to pose for the social media team makes it feel hollow.

I think it’s silly too. My husband is a CEO and he does it four times a year for his company and I think it’s ridiculous, but he believes that if anybody’s gonna do it, he should do it.

He, however, does not require anybody to do it.

I don’t love forced volunteering. Kind of defeats the entire purpose and isn’t actually volunteering

How much programming language is important for a QA Engineer..

Need your inputs, I have experience in Java Automation for past 2 years.. now my yet join company is using Ruby for Automation. Not a big deal in learning about ruby. Only worried about that if I continue here, in process of learning ruby I might have unlearn java. If I need to come out then openings on Automation with ruby in the market is pretty much less I think..

Fellow QA's What are your thoughts on above.

Had a first round interview scheduled for a large CPG brand. My interviewer never called me, and I emailed following up to confirm the call. It’s been over a day and no response. What is going on with recruiters? I tried giving them the benefit of the doubt, but not even an email back saying “something came up” or “we’ve moved on” ? I’ve been ghosted after every final interview during my recent job search, but never had I been ghosted before even having the first call??
