Last night I saw a fox go into the street where I live! It was made so '. But it's not 'This is what I want to talk, but rather' Report this movie:
The first test: they are told that in reality 'candidates are not sects, but rather' you, 'cause one of them' a mole, a psychologist who has the task of observing the group inside, they must discuss and then put to a vote most people believe is' probably the mole. The second test: they must elect their leaders, unanimously '. The third test: is shown to all (through the computer screens that each of their faces, and are the only means by which Graders communicate with them, in a seemingly algorithmic) the curriculum of one of them, or better a particular episode of his controversial career, and must be able to vote if, from the standpoint of the selectors, take on the basis of that information or not. And so 'way, in a crescendo of tension, mistrust, low blows and cooperation hairy.
the background of everything ', the roads under their window is the scene of a battle (with the only sense) between police and protesters,' cause that day in Madrid (where and 'set the movie) there is' the G8.
and I 'seemed like a good movie (except maybe the last minute, but then the ending was such a crescendo of ambiguity' that any solution would probably be disappointing result, perhaps the best thing would be not to dissolve the ever ' ambiguity 'and leave the viewer in doubt), and e' of course a very low budget film, perhaps done by a novice director (*).
The characters are all very well chosen (Not always credible, but the content of history and 'such that I believe that they are insignificant), and the satire of the selections of work and the business fails, though anything but veiled, not to be never boring (I would not have bet a nickel (**)).
It reminded me of my only experience so far in a job interview in the real world.
It was a well-known management consulting firm advising leading companies on issues of strategy, organization, technology, and operations , who had asked a number of universities' report to prestigious graduate and graduate students in physics, mathematics, engineering and Management Engineering (***) which had planned a program INSIGHT ITALY, which in summary was a three days at their own expense in a castle, during which they explained that was their world, and would eventually offered the chance 'for those who wanted to do job interviews. should be specified at the time that I had only a vague idea of what they were, and this places them vaguely vague idea of the Mafia, Opus Dei and the Lobby of power in a room full of glass bring the votes to deregulate the 'release of sewage into the oceans, to boycott the Kyoto protocols, send death squads in the favelas of skyscrapers and hijack planes to unleash World War III.
I had already 'clear ideas but' the fact that whatever the substance of the work they did, did not interest me much. I was doing a doctorate, and my attitude and existential 'to decide a course for my life and follow that, stopping more than a moment to reflect on how to spend the bulldozer on what' that stands in the middle, so do not homa seriously considered any other option for work. Yet, I sent the resume. Why '? 'Cause we were 4-5, Cumpa of my colleagues / friends that we had on one hand, curiosity' to find the plate with the price that the world could have put him in the case of our extreme need ', and the other the desire make us a trip to
tycoon free at their own expense (it was the most 'repeated of reasons). We were selected me and another of my friends (we tried to find a pattern, considering the success / failure of the curricula of others who knew, but we found him), and we saw that we had at least one wrong: we ate the
big, nasty slut whore. The first day we split into groups. Each group was assigned a supervisor, who was one of the company. The group would remain together all three days, and would also
ate together, each group's table. What is most 'distressing of all those three days when it was realized that the Supervisor of the group was a joke, a laugh burst synchronous . I was under shock, I could not believe it. My friend, who was in another group when we had occasion to chat I also confirmed the same phenomenon in his group. I seem to remember that we were 6 per group, and I remember this for one simple reason: the first day, newly formed groups, we had to take the game Man of Lego. It works': in one room there was a man of Lego. In turn, only one group could go into the room to store the exact location of each brick (they were colored) Man of Lego, then each group confabulation about how to plan the exact reconstruction of the Man of Lego bricks with colored our provision. Then click the stopwatch, the groups were put to work and the group ended up first wins. My group won ugly in a minute and a half, compared with 3 minutes of the second and more time from all the others. Splitting ass, in short (one of the supervisors who had claimed a new world record of all INSIGHT, and that the previous record, FLORIDA insight, it was around 3 minutes).
And here 'cause I remember when we were 6:' cause at the beginning of something, a feeling Authorities 'World in the tie because of the amount' of time I devoted to it nell'infazia (****), I got a rush the leadership of the company and had proclaimed that the human being has an approximate five-fold symmetry, and therefore it was necessary that each of they would take care of one of the five basic parts of the human figure (head, two arms, two legs) but my experience with the lego was that if everyone was only focused on the apparently more 'of its important sub-task , we'd be in trouble in regard to the interfaces (*****), and then I was going for the task of high responsibility 'to match everything in the central corpicione.
But then 'view' that all my band mates were much more 'rapid than I expected, and the only action I did, just to see what I was doing something, got to break in half' the Our Man of Lego that had to be reassembled by someone else, and if there was me our record would have been even more 'remarkable, type in the minutes.
(Giorni dopo, quando tutto questo fu finito, ricevetti una telefonata in ufficio dal Selezionatore finale, il quale mi disse che non avevo particolarmente impressionato per problem solving ma in compenso avevo dimostrato grandi capacita' di leadership - e io ci pensai per giorni , 'cause it made me laugh a lot in relation to the image that I had instead of myself, and I finally remembered the Man of Lego and since then I think it was that I had given orders pompous and pointless pretending that I did not have jurisdiction, and my only contribution was actually given only practical hindrance to others, have thought that I was born to be a Manager.) Then the second day was interesting, was a simulation of advice. A customer (played by one of Supervisors), we explained the problem, and we were given folder containing various documents useful to understand what was spoken (if I remember correctly, the customer who advises him if he wanted to jump or not in the business of the boxes cardboard, and had already 'a factory ink-per-box-of-box). We had a computer with a program that simulated other characters (such as Chinese doctors of the R & D factory ink-per-box-of-box) and now and then came the other Supervisors who impersonate other characters of disturbance, such as the trade unionist , the head of department, the officer Judicial (no, no, or at least I think), and at some point we understood that not all the characters to interact with were interested in telling us the whole truth ', and then we had to reconsider from scratch all the information in our possession. Lot of fun.
A late afternoon (we had started in the morning) we had to report to the customer, with the "slide" (actually 'written pennarellone colored on sheets of A4 paper (******)) and convince the best we could. As far as I understood, were welcomed to both our capacity 'of conviction, is what we had guessed. That is, the "right" answer was only one, and in the end we were explained the basis on which we should understand it, but however, if we could fool the customer with our shit, then it was almost ok.
do not know if maybe I misunderstood, but a very clear message was repeated and much that was not enough to find the solution but we also need to sell it. This would be a truth 'that I only arrived years later, at the time but I was not ready, and then leads me only contempt for those who advocated. One topic that struck me 'was' you arrive, greenhorn, that the case concerned only what you know' that you have collected in 6 months - typically - that you're busy, and you find yourself in front of someone who works in the field instead of 30 years, and you have to explain everything that was wrong and needs to lay off 5,000 employees, is not 'easy. " I was left with the suspicion that if I work in one case for 6 months are perhaps the first that he trusts the most 'of the type that we worked for 30 years himself, but I held it for me. (I recognize, however, that given the accuracy and ubiquity 'of
Read Cipolla, the possibility' that people who work there for 30 years is an absolute idiot and not 'no way excluded.) I stop here for now, but Three days of the narrative that continues in the next post (if not, as usual, I'll break your cock swells and finish it before the file lj.txt with all post-abortion, which is already 'in the past I have sometimes made dump in a special post-junk).
However, I take the opportunity of this post to signal that the European Union
me 'reason in relation to my denunciations of the dangers of the internet.
(*) Explain why ': the many things that struck me often in the same scene the lighting was different, as if they had used natural lighting of the lamps but the room where you play almost any environment, with the obvious result that was not uniform over time. That said, surprised that the director did not appear in the rest, all amateur. Hypothesize: dissertation director in some faculties' film? (Jam 'a couple of English films of worship in recent years were likely.)
(**) But nickel and' used in any of the current European dies? I do not think so, but I thought a few days ago. Can you confirm? (Perhaps in some leagues.)
(***) I never understood what the '
management engineering (and I believe I have discovered the existence in that occasion), but by that time they' have the effect that if I knew I would not be happy to know that our company 'feel the need for such a thing, so I prefer not to ask. (****) In reality ', over time I have come to reconsider my claim as unfounded, based on the fact that, better think again, I was a child with lego spent most of his time doing only the walls, high walls , sometimes very robust and complex texture, but still not 'that everyone is doing engineering complication walls. Beyond ' the plethora of meanings that any analyst on Sunday can 'learn from this detail.
(*****) obviously I had to have had a flash of memories of some frustration during the cooperative work with the lego asylum, during which apparently had happened exactly that: when you put the pieces together, there was how to fit them together.
(******) One thing that was a shock for me and 'it seems that the super-paid guys who work them' do not slide on their own. They write in ink on rag paper, which then send a special office that does the slide Bellini with graphs and everything.
This' connected with the other thing I found disturbing: that many of them not have to know how to use the computer, if not barely for e-mail. To our supervisor, who was still the only one who looked like a decent person in the entire band (see the next episode, if I will remember 'to talk about it) every now and then chatted with him about these things, I said I would be a little' sorry do something in which the technical effort and 'so' little. He then told me that those who want to do a job similar to their profile but with a more 'technical goes to Accenture, but his expression betrayed the implicit contempt for the Philosopher to the Mechanic, which permeates our culture for centuries and in the end it will cause 'I think the miserable ruin.
