They terk er jerbs

>>34625393
Outside of family and friends, I never mention my gun hobby to anyone.

Also, pretty sure this is discrimination. Might be able to sue them for your job back or get some moola.

More shit liberal gatekeeping in the workplace.

Lawyer up!

>>34625393
lol i dare them to name one instance of workplace violence theyve seen in the news in the last two years

>>34625411
I wasn't let go. I just wasn't hired, so I think they're in the clear as they provided another reason for not hiring me as well. Though I may bounce this off some lawyers anyways.

>>34625431
It still doesn't hurt to take this to a lawyer and see what they think.

Hes right though. Legally you might have a case, but you were a fool for thinking anything positive could have come from mentioning firearms in a job interview, especially in Boston. Also you're probably kind of obnoxious anyway, going by how you cut people off and ask dumb questions.

>>34625393
>Apparently it's not okay to answer questions about your hobbies and pastimes honestly.
"What do you like to do in your spare time anon?"
"I post on 4chan and masturbate to anime"

Polite lies are the basis of a functional society, man. Also sounds like your inability to listen when people talk didn't help.

>>34625393
Suck dude but you gotta be more conscious of where you are.

I used to work in Central PA and literally had my boss ask me during an interview if DI or piston was better in an AR and why. Keep in mind though, every year for hunting season a lot of companies just close for the first day. I even went to a gun raffle with a coworker there.

Sorry bro but be more self aware next time.

>>34625430
The UPS guy that went postal here a few weeks ago, mostly overshadowed by the Congressional shooting.

Honestly dude it sounds like your tism flared up multiple times during the interview and that was just the last straw.
Don't interrupt people.

>>34625393
Sucks but you dodged a bullet. I did something similar (specifically pointed out I would not relocate to NY/CA due to overbearing government if offered) and HR told me to fuck off essentially.

>>34625448
I was asked what I like to do in my spare time. My answer was as follows -

"I like to photography and videogames. I also like to grow vegetables, and I hope to get involved in a community garden project if I move up here. I also collect firearms and I like going to the shooting range".

The interviewer's actual response was that he liked to go to casinos and gamble, and that he was excited about the new Casino being built in Medford MA. Apparently he didn't see the irony in he, himself, promoting a potentially dangerous pastime.

>>34625431
>Though I may bounce this off some lawyers anyways
and if somehow a lawyer decides you can sue, good luck ever getting hired again once your suit ends up in the public record.

t. recently fired SRE who probably could have sued, but didn't for those (and other) reasons

>>34625497
It would at least be worth the consultation fee, I think.

>>34625456
OP here, I'm from SC - when I interviewed for my last position (in SC), they literally asked me if I liked shooting - company range trips aren't uncommon down here.

It's not the company's concern what I do in my free time anyways.

>>34625393
I agree with the employer, it's something you should keep to yourself, just as you would be irritated if you were hiring and an anti-gunner wouldn't shut up about their views. You screwed yourself over, you have nobody else to blame.

Something like that happened to me

>Be me, work in a liberal-lefty workplace
>I'm pretty far right, desu, but I don't dwell on politics
>Pretend I'm moderate
>Over 3 years of working there (and after the election) someone notices I'm "Conservative"
>Some married, typical lib, 44 year old mom with a career and kids
>Who I rarely work with
>Goes to my boss to complain and question why I have a job there
>wtf
>My boss, a level-headed classical liberal type, tells her, "We support a diverse workplace."
>I don't know if she quit but I haven't seen her around the building in a long time
>All this because I wasn't left leaning

>>34625393

How it should go:

>what are your hobbies?
>I target shoot.
>so you have a gun?
>yes but it's for target shooting exclusively
>oh okay

How it went with OP:

>What are your hobbies?
>well I collect AR-15s and nuggets
>so you collect firearms?
>hell yeah I do. got like 10
>do you do anything with them?
>shoot cans and my neighbors cat lol
>okay get the fuck out

Sounds like you just sperged out in the interview in general. Interrupting the interview is literally he dumbest thing you can do

>>34625505
Yeah, this is a big concern.
I had an employer previously refuse to pay out PTO when I left (state law here, it's required). I easily had a case but I figured it'd be better to stay on their good side than to actually pursue it in court.

>>34625438
It wouldn't hurt as long as it's free I guess but as a manager of a retail store I can tell you there's nothing there. There's no proof that's what the problem was and even if it were the case that he got skipped over for being a kommando unfortunately we're not a protected class so that would be tough.

>>34625516
Its pretty nice, my GF is in the petroleum field and they literally have company trap shooting events where they give out some really nice shotguns in raffles. I gotta say its nice not having to worry but with new companies/ people, I omit it.

>>34625505
Adding onto this, what would be the point of getting a lawyer involved and potentially suing? The market for SREs is booming. It's not like you don't have a fuckload of other options. MA sucks anyway.

I've interviewed hundreds of people over the years.

Based on that feedback, you appear to be an autistic cunt.

You interrupted, didn't take on and recall information and talked (bragged?) about guns.

You're damn right you weren't getting a job with those lack of interview basics.

Go learn how to conduct yourself in an interview and yes, remember that many people don't like guns and so don't mention them. Don't be a fucking autistic spergler who brings that in to a formal interview. I've had it numerous times and never accepted a candidate so far who is into guns.

Simply because if they can't realise that guns is a delicate situation that is best left out the workplaces why would I want them working for my clients?

Tit.

>>34625517
I'd be irritated if I were interviewing someone, asked about their hobbies, and they said "I attend mom's demand action rallies on the weekends", but if they were a qualified candidate, that wouldn't stop me from hiring them.

>>34625411
Discrimination against what? Gun lovers?
Anyway he might be able to sue them for other reasons but you would be an autistic degenerate piece of shit for wasting yours and theirs time and not just applying for a better job.
It'd be one thing if he was fired, but he wasn't.
Stop advocating this obnoxious compensation culture and grow the fuck up.

>>34625516
The point of an interview is to determine how well you'd fit with the company and in your position. You're either malleable enough to fit in, close enough already, or you're just not going to like working there. That said, if you really want the job you need to do your best to re-make yourself to fit.

>>34625534
Even if he did say it the first way, which he might have for all we know, the email did say he was under qualified and had poor conversational skills. I.e. asked the same question twice and interrupted people.

>>34625534
No, like this:
What are your hobbies?
>I love camping, hiking, and lots of outdoor activities like fishing

That's literally it, don't even fucking mention guns you retard

>>34625546
Literally all you have to do is lean on the company a little bit and they will pay. Literally just threatening the company with a lawsuit is enough in those kinds of cases especially if the states law is clearly in your favor.

>>34625393
>Apparently it's not okay to answer questions about your hobbies and pastimes honestly.


lol fucking dumbass the whole point of a job interview is tell your employer what they want to hear- omitting some potentially touchy subject matter in your interview is barely on the same level as a white lie.

If you think you can go around work saying whatever the fuck is on your mind then you can either be unemployed or work for yourself.

>>34625546
>refuse to pay out PTO
That's the kind of shit you bring up to the state authorities (dept of labor or whatever). Might not even need a lawyer.

>>34625558
The interviewer can hire whoever they want regardless of what you think is fair, so, going into ANY interview you want to make yourself as marketable as possible, which means avoiding topics of contention. I don't get why this is hard to understand

>>34625497
Gambling isn't remotely "dangerous", don't be retarded.

>>34625497
What Op thinks he said:
>"I also collect firearms and I like going to the shooting range"
What the HR guy, and most other people in MA, would have heard:
>"14/88 All niggers must hang, I'm going to make Columbine look like a fucking joke
Read the mood dude

>>34625393
Why mention hobbies/pastimes at all in a job interview. It has nothing to do with work.

You fucking sperglord. I bet there was spaghetti fucking all over the floor as you didn't listen to what the interviewer was saying and respond in kind, but rather just waited for your turn to speak.

And no one wants to hear about your fucking garbage rod mommy bought you with your good boy points.

>>34625602
For what purpose? He isn't getting the job now, not ever.

The market isn't exactly booming in SC though, which is why I was looking at MA in the first place.

It's not worth it - There are plenty of available jobs. All I've lost is time. I got free miles out of it, so whatever.

I would honestly prefer to work in a gun-friendly company. The interview goes both ways. I don't see mentioning firearms as a loss necessarily, because it just indicates that I might not be a good fit with the office culture.

You should forward this to TTAG or another gun blogsite that gets a shitload of traffic, just ask to remain anonymous for obvious reasons.

Also what's the name of the company?

Why would you ever tell people at work something about your self?

>>34625411
Damn, sorry buddy. I just got a job here in Cuckifornia and I mentioned firearms and Brazilian jiu jitsu.

>>34625665
how the hell do guns even remotely come into your equation when looking for a job? no wonder they rejected you, you sound like the kind of sperg who doesn't know when to stop talking when others are getting uncomfortable. learn some social skills

>>34625567
No, they won't. They will forward everything they have on you to their law firm and there will be one talk about liability, then they will inform you if you want to go forward they will sue for legal cost. At this point your lawyer will bail and leave you stuck with the cost they've run up so far and the first thing any recruiter will see when they send your information in for a background check is "frivolous lawsuit after failing interview".

true just sit in the corner of the break room and eat your lunch alone. Nobody will think you're weird.

>>34625639
And anybody that doesn't answer with some canned bullshit the interviewer wants to hear is an idiot. When you answer about hobbies it's supposed to be how it relates to the job. You say you like x hobby because it lets you be part of a team so you can work toward a goal etc.

>>34625723
Found the retard.

>>34625723
If you're incapable of having a conversation without blabbering on about yourself like a high school girl there's no surprise at all to me that you think it's socially acceptable to talk about one of the most contentious issues in the country in a casual fashion, at work.

"gambling literally addictive and thus just as dangerous as shooting"
Wow, you definitely dropped your spaghetti somewhere in this interview and absolutely deserve the flak you got for being this fucking stupid.

>>34625723
Or you could act like a goddamn adult and talk to people on uncontroversial subjects and areas you agree at work so you don't have to deal with office drama.

>>34625393
>What have you given up for the hobby, /k/?

Nothing, because I'm not a dense retard like you. Your communication skills are clearly shit and you don't know how to pick your conversations based on the context of the current situation. You probably try to bring up politics at Thanksgiving.

Get some more hobbies you autistic pile of shit.

>>34625630
OP here, let me explain this a bit.

It was 6 separate interviews with 6 different people; not a panel interview. Two of them asked about my hobbies. Only one person claimed the interrupting thing, according to the email. I don't think that, alone, would have prevented me being selected when they have three open positions.

>>34625689
When you're relocating a thousand miles, your first friends will be coworkers. You want people to shoot with.

you are not entitled to a job
you are not entitled to compensation when other people don't like your hobby

the reason hiring managers never tell people anything is because of little shits like you. Whoever emailed OP was UNBELIEVABLY CONSIDERATE to give him meaningful feedback instead of just ghosting on him, and you think that means you should get free stuff? get the fuck out of my country holy shit

I'm from rural SC. I was literally go shooting with coworkers after work at my previous job. I do, actually, want to be buddy-buddy with my coworkers. Maybe this isn't a thing in northern cities, I don't fucking know.

>>34625828
>nice made up story you leftist cock holster

it's probably not made up, it's probably just missing some massive important details

>>34625841
It's not a thing in any major city. You go to work, do your job, and go home. If you want friends go be social somewhere else

>>34625841
Just because your interviewers don't like guns doesn't mean everyone in the company hates guns.

>>34625727
Most companies try to encourage diversity and personality in the workplace. If you're competing for a position, you don't want to appear exactly like everyone else. A canned response will get you canned.

>>34625818
Oh yeah, one "disinclined" kills a hire, and you likely had at least 2 on your interview loop (whoever you interrupted and whoever hated that you brought up guns). You weren't getting hired for a lot of reasons. If anything, I'd say that

>>34625813

is right and the person that messaged you was being a fucking bro by letting you know that interviews in MA are NOT A PLACE TO TALK GUNS. Might even be a shooter themselves letting you know that you have to keep that shit confidential.

>>34625795
>Only one person claimed the interrupting thing,

only one person mentioned the interrupting thing *to you*. They absolutely talked shit about you the moment you left the building.

The guy who emailed you is probably a bitter cunt, but he did you a favor. You are NOT going to get far in Mass if you come off like a country conservative.

>>34625540
Fucking this. You failed to get the job because you couldn't contain your autism enough to shut the fuck up and listen to what they were saying in the first place.

>>34625834
Not when you follow appropriate safety procedures. Just like setting a limit for your gambling. Anything can be dangerous if you let it get out of control.

>>34625841
Me too. I won't bring it up in a fucking interview. Sound people out and learn their opinion on guns. If you agree with them you can hang out. If not, don't talk to them about it again.

>>34625393
You didn't want to work for these people anyway. Sound like a bunch of faggots op

>>34625891

>>34625393
>My love of firearms just cost me a job.

Ironically they accuse you of ignoring someone / not listening and you just demonstrated they were perfectly right to say that.

>>34625853
One interviewer actually did mention that there were other employees who went to the range - they import quite a bit of talent, and he said they had an employee from TN who went to the range near work regularly.

Though, it's difficult to say who actually had the problem with it. Like I said, there were 6 separate interviewers.

>>34625559
>Discrimination against what? Gun lovers?
Yes, actually. You cannot be discriminated against for exercising constitutional rights. This is the same as being skipped over because you went to some political meeting, or attend a certain place of worship.

>>34625393
I interviewed for a job in the Portland area and they were fine with me mentioning I shoot and hunt recreationally. They're one of the tech companies out here. Maybe there is still hope in the PNW.

Legally, you can be discriminated against for liking guns. Religion is a protected class, liking guns is not. And in most states, political affiliation is not a protected class. In California and a few others, it is. Not federally protected though.

Sounds like you got fired for being an autist. Why would you think it's okay to mention guns at a job interview, much less one in taxachusetts? Also employers are allowed to discriminate against any group that's not a protected class as defined in the CRA

he is right. that is why the workforce is rapidly aging outside of the millineal professions like, lol social media expert. because the young folks don't know how to do anything. and, their work ethic is absolute shit.

Are you sure? Did you actually interview there or were they more of "this is my son/nephew, he will do great here"? Interview skills like that aren't always the easiest to practice, but shit, you should really know better than that shit if you have had one interview EVER.

>>34626326

It's very clear that they denied you because they were afraid of guns.

Listen to all this floppy language
>There were some soft skills that appeared to be a bit lacking
Bullshit. Soft skills can be honed.
>One person noted that you interrupted...to ask a question or to respond with information
Sounds like HR alright. HR are overly sensitive bitches.
>In other words, the person didn't believe...absorbing what he was saying
"In other words" then just say that. Floppy language.

You really shouldn't have brought up firearms in an interview unless the company is a gun related company. It's entirely off-topic to the job. But I'm am almost certain that you were not accepted or put in last place for the job because of this.

>>34626336
They were actual interviews that resulted in actual jobs. All cold-applications from linkedin/monster/etc. Like I said, in one of those interviews I actually got asked about going to the range with the company.

>>34626328
where do you live? how much experience do you have in the workplace? across the board the skilled work, and supervisory roles are typically being performed buy 40+ and much older.
sure there are a lot of young people in the work force, but the are in low skill, low responsibility jobs. though i have seen an uptick in young people learning trades.

this is at least true in the US.

>>34626351
Shit, you're almost as obtuse as OP. While you're right that its floppy language, they aren't saying it to disguise an ulterior motive for not hiring, they're saying it as a nice way of addressing OPs apparent utter social ineptness. Believe hes been victimized by HR all you like, but it is what it is.

Then what, did you have an ultra-autistic moment or something? Because doing shit like that at ANY interview will result in you getting declined for the job. Mentioning guns or not, interrupting someone like that to ask idiotic questions is fucking retarded.

>>34626386
OP here, I won't deny that there may have been some social ineptitude on my part. Flying always gives me ear pain and makes it difficult for me to hear, so I probably did miss a few things during the interview.

I just can't imagine that actually being the deciding factor a role that isn't customer-facing.

>>34626425
>deciding factor

how'd you figure that

>>34625393
What company was it?

>>34626425
"That gave us concern in having you working on requirements from our IT executives and stakeholders"

He literally spelled it out for you. Plus, you know, he mentioned that first meaning it was most important. Then a little "BTW, guns are kind of a sore topic around here so it's best not to mention them" at the end.

>>34625690
I wasn't talking about the interview retard. I was talking about the company breaking a clearly stated law.

>>34626357
I run a welding shop in rural NC for a large corporation, don't want to doxx myself by being more specific. I've been welding since 2012, got my underwater welding in 2013, and got this job last year after my last company dissolved. I'm 27, and most of my employees are between 24-35, 42 being the oldest.

Maybe my experience with being in a skilled trade is giving me a strange sample, it does seem like most of the line workers are in their 40s-50s, and I'm by far the youngest manager at my company. I'll be honest and say that unless someone really impresses me, I generally won't hire anyone under 25. Done it twice and they both turned out shit, for the same reasons. Always late, hungover, slow, didn't really pay attention, it wasn't really their skill, it was their attitude.

Who knows man, maybe early 20s is just a shitty period, I'm glad I got it out of my system in the military.

>>34626405
He's obviously under 20.

>>34626447
They spoke several times about how they were desperate for talent and were having to look outside of MA to fill these roles. If they're as short-staffed as they claim, you'd think they'd take what they can get. I worked in a call center for years and provided references as to the quality of customer service I've provided in the past. A decent hiring manager would take everything into account when it comes to determining soft skills, not just the interview.

>>34626449
I'm not answering this question

>>34625393

"Lacking soft skills" means you are literally autistic. Like when someone writes you a personal correspondence and phrases something like that, what they really mean is something drastically worse, but they need to be professional. It's called tact and you would know what that was if you understood basic human interactions.

You probably were incredibly bad in that interview. They literally said you weren't able to pay attention and focused on tangential useless details to the detriment of the overall interview. Like a literal autist. You probably rambled about how the second amendment is the most important thing ever and the tree of liberty needs to be watered with the blood of normies or something. You probably talked for like 15 minutes on your opinion on gun ownership and how Boston is literally a hell hole.

You fucked up buddy. Keep your autist shit to yourself. Act like a normal fucking person in an interview, tell them what they want to hear you bumblefuck.

>>34625393
>bragging about strict gun control and demonizing and shitting on southern states
nah fuck that cunt. Don't interupt people during the interview when they speak OP, or if you didn't it just sounds like they don't like gun owners

>>34625411

>gibz!

Get fucked

>>34626469

based on their response, you literally have no soft skills and no attention to detail.

i would rather not hire someone than hire a shitty employee.

don't blame guns for your own shitty interview performance.

It really is depressing sometimes to know how much social skills plays a part in success in life. If your an autist you will always be playing on very hard difficulty and theres nothing you can fucking do.

>>34626469

The one that bitched about soft skills was probably a woman, and probably an HR/"social" person. Tech people want tech people because that gets the shit done.

>>34626556

You can start your own business, like I did. ;)

Though it's a lot harder if you don't have Howard Hughes money to play with. He was the King Autist of Autists yet he never had to worry about a thing.

>>34626735
That's funny, I work part time security on Fridays and Saturdays doing security at an office in Charlotte (that's what I'm doing right now actually) for extra "play with," money. I just sit and watch cameras, it's a good way to make an extra 400 every month, easy as pie.

I'll probably have to stop once my baby girl is born, but I've got a good amount of money from it, so it'll be fine. I don't see how guys make a living off of it though, it's got to be a hard way to live.

>>34627087
it depends on the level of risk, and your qualifications. i know guys making 75k a year doing armed security at power plants.

>>34627173
Yeah but those guys are like former SWAT, Rangers and SOF, they generally have some sort of high speed low drag skill set that sets them apart. I know one of the guys that runs security for a Duke plant and he says that there's so many applicants that just being former combat arms or LEO just just isn't enough anymore.

They get some cool shit though, and train constantly.

>>34627207

Uncle used to do security at a nuclear plant many years ago. He was a Gulf War veteran, 82nd Airborne. Got the job right after he was discharged.

He made a shitload of money and blew it on gambling.

>>34627207
this is true. the security industry as a whole has been flooded with these high-speed guys with legit experience downrange. thats what you get when there has been nearly continuous warfighting going on in this country for over 15 years.

>>34627207
>Rangers and SOF
There's a difference between security guards and security contractors.
What that guy said is usually comprised of former cops and SWAT (obviously can include special forces but that's not normal as they would be overqualified and there is no reason an ex-special forces soldier would deign to be a security guard at some power plant). There's also guards who have no former service experience and get guard training that can last from a couple of weeks to a month or two.

>>34625393
Both of you are idiots. Apparently you were interrupting and they denied you solely on your hobbies

Is nuke plant security any less boring than normal security anyway?

>>34627237
See that used to be enough, being combat arms, but now you have so many guys who have special qualifiers (EOD, SLC, RASP, RLC) that want to keep doing tacticool shit but don't want to be cops, so they do high end security.
>>34627270
I'm just telling you who he has working for him. It's preferable to normal contract work in that they work at one place and go home every night, and still make a lot of money for their skills. This is also just for the response team, they have normal security working the gates and shit. Paradigm, I think, they're subsidized by homeland security. But they only make 12/hr
>>34627289
I seriously doubt it other than the fact they run drills and shit all the time.

>>34627289
What is your idea of "normal" security, and what is your idea of a fun job? One where you're constantly getting shot at by evil villains who try to break into the plant to steal all your uranium and shit?

>>34627329
Not sitting on your ass for 8 hours a day.

>>34627270
>there is no reason an ex-special forces soldier would deign to be a security guard at some power plant).

do you think all special forces types go on to star in action movies or something when they get out of the military? there is not a lot of call for guys with military skills outside of the security sector.

>>34627346
Then no, you're constrained to one location and the job is as monotonous as any job.
>>34627356
No, I don't. And I never claimed special forces should become chefs either, you fucking retard.

Fuck, can't these people have a little empathy for those they're interviewing? People get nervous during interviews and sometimes don't "absorb" every bit of new "information" during a conversation. That doesn't mean they can't learn while actually on the job.

>>34627639
It's pretty clear what it means, and to answer you, no.

Interviews are a test. If you get so nervous you can't talk like a normal human and listen to things that are being told during an interview, what's going to happen when the job gets stressful and I need everyone at 100%? You'll probably make mistakes because you can't even follow general conversation or stay on topic. There's no room for empathy when I'm potentially going to put a lot of time and money into a worker who can't even make it through an interview without being a sperg.

The guys being a total fucking bro for sending OP this email and he needs to take the shit to heart instead of trying to get asspats on 4chan. I have a default rejection email that basically just says, "Ya blew it, bye now!"

>>34626594
I've had to endure the wonders of "good communication" it involves restating yourself twenty times five different ways while never addressing the actual issue being discussed and being offended when pushed for real meat answers or being told they're off-topic

soft skills are a joke, I can wipe your ass all day while doing my job effectively, but don't expect me to value your "contribution to the workplace" when it's a net loss to every aspect of the triangle

OP I don't post on this board much but I'll save you some time. You're not gonna get anywhere with a lawsuit, it's well within their right to not hire you based on that email.

>>34626455
Not necessarily, keep in mind company emails are logged, so turning them down for their hobbies- which is something they ask you about in most interviews outside of burger-flippers, I've noticed

>>34627759
>company emails are logged

lol no, not unless you pay more for an expensive backup system, and even then, the backup only runs once a day. t. IT

>>34627774
rather, they sit in an inbox until deleted to free up space, most people don't clean their company emails regularly, it's a great source of compromising data for IT and middle management slackers looking for meat or a disgruntled office drone looking for ammo

it might be unusual for HR and potentially helpful, but it comes off as snide, IMNSHO; frankly he out to email the president/CEO's secretary or whatever the closest analogue is and ask her if it's policy to send personalized rejections to potential hires and then attach the email without any commentary otherwise

>>34627831
Given the context of the email, the applicant clearly asked for further details as to why they weren't hired. Maybe it's not company policy to divulge so much info, but you're going to look really stupid complaining about it when you specifically asked for it.

Actually, I didn't. This was the first correspondence since the interview. I'd called and left a voice message asking about the next steps, and this was what I received in return.

>>34625393
I haven't been in contact with most of my family in over a year and a half now, my mother changed her phone number to avoid talking to me because they found out Thanksgiving of 2015 that I'm a firearms enthusiast.

There are already plenty of anti discrimination laws that already benefit various interest groups. Why should gun owners be the odd man out? If liberals are willing to use the EEOC against us, why shouldn't we do the same to them? No more free market when it suits them and state regulation when it hurts us. We're tired of being chumps. They created a massive government, and now that we find ourselves in power, we're supposed to let them walk away? I don't fucking think so. I say we use the power of the government to punish our enemies. Let's pass laws making it a felony criminal offense to refuse service or employment on the basis of gun ownership.

>>34627949
I am from South Carolina. I flew up to Boston to interview.

I almost feel like I just didn't get the job because I'm a southerner - I don't have too much of an accent, but I've noticed with this company and a few others in the north that they're just extremely condescending and act like you're stupid.

>>34627942
It's not their duty to be a charity. If others interviewed better, they are a better hire. Clearly they felt OP to be a poor fit for their workplace culture.

It sounds like OP has the skills for the job, but it doesn't sound as though he was exceptional either.

>>34627985
>There are already plenty of anti discrimination laws that already benefit various interest groups.

With the single exception of religion, anti-discrimination laws protect classes of people who don't choose to be in said class. We all chose to be gun enthusiasts, so maybe don't compare it to being black or gay or handicapped.

Even if this were true (it isn't), it's irrelevant. Why should every other special interest group get government privileges and protections while we don't? Yes, we could choose to give up our guns, but we shouldn't have to. We shouldn't allow either big gov or big business to silence us.

>The guys being a total fucking bro for sending OP this email

I don't know about the other stuff you said but you're right there. I've only once received honest feedback when applying for jobs or interviewing. The company may be run by assholes but the guy who sent this email is pretty much saying, "Bro, you have to hide your power level in the blue states."

Depends on what that job is. And I'm not sure interrupting someone (in OP's case) really counts as loosing your cool.

>Telling Massholes that guns are your hobby
OP, you have to understen that MA dwellers are typically little more than drones that regurgitate leftist ideology when they're not working at a job that barely covers their absurd property/ income tax rates and driving on roads that look like they came right out of Kazakhstan. Imagine an entire state inhabited by the typical NYC subject. That's MA. No one likes them, there is no reason whatsoever to live there, and those that do aren't to be considered people.

>>34628207
There are plenty of jobs that are significantly less high-pressure than an interview.

>>34627834
be IT and work in Network.

if there is a work order that involves a comms closet. I take it. I get a good 30 minute nap in a private and cold room. If you can stand the drone of dozens of switch/router/server fans.

>>34627834
It's your lunch, do whatever the fuck you want to. Everybody laughs when they find out I nap on lunch, but at least 3 other people in the office, including the boss, started doing it. Thus the big comfy bean bag.

>implying someones choices cant make them handicapped
>implying I wasnt loving guns before faggots started liking dick

There are maybe two situations where it's okay to talk about your interest in guns when applying to a non-firearms-related position.

1) You collect antique firearms. Like legit antiques. Your single nugget doesn't count.

2) You are a competitive biathlete; biathlon being the classiest of all shooting sports.

>>34628206
>the more you compare gun owners to people who face real discrimination
Discrimination against gun owners is not imaginary. I see no guns allowed signs on businesses all the time.
>>34628206
>the worse you make us all look
I don't give a damn how we look. They already hate us for reasons that don't amount to anything, so why should we waste our time trying to placate them?

>>34625393
Blessing in disguise, move on. No is a positive answer and it was considerate of him to give you feedback.

>>34625411
>Might be able to sue them for your job back or get some moola.
Not in this case. He wasn't fire because of it, he just wasn't hired. Had it been the other way around, he could've sued for wrongful termination of contract.

>>34625411
>Also, pretty sure this is discrimination.

"Gun owners" are not a protected class, and likely never will be.

>>34627994

>wanting to give yankees assistance anyway

You realize when the War of Northern Retribution starts, you're going to be deep behind enemy lines, right?

Agreeing with most posts here. I'll only add from seeing reasons people don't get hired is when they talk too much. Everything could be in order until they have to add some personal off the wall shit. Into the trash the resume goes.

>>34625393
Sue. These assholes didn't like you because of what you represent. They fear you. You would have hated the job but they are pussies and will settle before taking the risk of a trial. These people lost an election so they want revenge. It's time to show them they lost. Next gig.. no more gun talk. Tell them you like to garden and travel. Better yet move south

>>34625487
This. That email looks like a guy trying to say in the nicest ways possible "stop being so fucking autistic."

If you can't beat them, pretend to join them. It's dirty, but in today's world you have too. My cover letters all also include a paragraph about working with diversity throughout my educational career and how that alone fostered my interpersonal skills.

The economy has been growing slower than inequality for 3 generations now and the dreams of these generations reflect that.

Yeah I slowly inched my coworkers into the idea that I shoot funs.
They all seem pretty alright with it, and one girl hints at wanting to go shooting.
Funny enough, the only person that freaks out like a libshit bitch about my hobby is an alcoholic ex army dude. Go figure.

>>34628226
No autism, my family are just super far-left leaning literal communists from Seattle.

>>34625393
Sounds like the main reason was communication skills, which is what they'll claim if you listen to everyone saying sue. The rest sounds like personal advice from an interviewers standpoint, and it's good advice.

>>34625393
OP's a dumbshit because he's a bad candidate, judging from the other answers that seem legit. BUT, even if you're into firearms, you can mention your hobby and leverage it to your advantage. Check it, losers:

>"And what are your hobbies, Anon?"
>I like to blah blah blah, and I also really enjoy target shooting.
>"Like with pistols and guns?"
>Yeah, exactly. It's really rewarding when you train yourself to have control over your body and mind to the point where you can aim for a target and be able to hit it with confidence. Plus, if you want to get good you have to discipline yourself and really spend some time practicing and trying new things. I like to think that the discipline I learned from shooting flows into other parts of my life.
>"Interesting. What sort of things has target shooting helped you with?"
>Oh, plenty of things. For example, at my last position, there was this tough problem that was taking a long time to etc etc etc.

OP probably mentioned guns and how much he loves them without trying to tie in his hobbies with his work skills.

>>34629558
>good advice
no it isn't

>were not technical
"we dislike you personally"

>some soft skills
literally completely meaningless

>one guy didn't like how you "interrupted"
aka they dislike you for something and they're throwing up a vague reason

>firearms
here it is. fucking communists. it's good that they shot OP down. they can have their hyper-reactive marxist shit storm to themselves.

>>34628206
You almost made a good point. The problem arises when you consider the fact that gun ownership is a right in America, discriminating against someone for exercising their right is complete shit.

>>34628373
Except by the constitution.

>>34626475
take that commie dick faggot

>>34625690
You are several shades of moron if you think that's how background checks work. Most times when it's "we aren't hiring yoy cause you sued your last company" it's because the dumb ass listed someone from their last company as a reference and they told the new company what happened

Life isn't law and order where the papers publish every case of someone suing their company

T. Man who has sued several placed he worked for and still have no problem getting a job

>>34625393
In general, you need to keep your discussions as plain vanilla as possible. Normies are usually freaked out by guns. Just say you like the outdoors, hiking, camping, fishing, things like that. No hunting, no guns.

>>34625904
Stop replying you fucking moron, Jesus christ

Just got hired in a machine shop for gun parts. Interview went like this

Hiring:How many guns do you have?
Me: Three now, but always looking for more.
Hiring:Cool, see you monday, bring your social security card and drivers license.

>>34626475
Also this guy has it right. Tact is the most overwhelmingly useful skill to have, and most people are fucking retarded about it.

>>34625487
This. The mention of lacking "soft skills" suggests you're a big sperg when it comes to communicating.

That said it sounds like it wouldn't have been a friendly environment for you anyway. They clearly popped a stiffy at the chance to signal their virtue.

>>34626226
WTF! WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!

>>34629711
I don't think you understand how rights work. You can run your mouth all day with no legal repercussions from the government, but that doesn't stop other people from judging you and/or holding you accountable for what you say.

>>34630079
If "most people" are retarded about it, then "most people" wouldn't have a job.

>>34630150
>holding you accountable
fuck off marxist

>>34625393
From reading that, it seems like you just had a really bad interview. You need to work on it a bit, do some practice interviews, get feedback from friends as to what you need to fix. Taking them to court isn't going to help. In fact it could come back to bite you in the ass.

In the hiring process, you need to tailor yourself around the job enough that you're not setting up an unrealistic expectation of yourself, but that you will be a great fit for the job. Your resume should be tailored, then your interview answers should be made to fit the position.

When it comes to the hobbies portion of an interview, most of the time they want to know how you handle stress, how you unwind and relax. Unless you're applying for a job that involves carrying or working with guns, do not mention them unless the interviewer has obvious indicators of being an avid shooter in his office. The best answers to give (only if they are true) are fishing, kayaking, working out, playing an instrument. If you have a common hobby with your interviewer, you just hit gold. He will ask about it, gauge your knowledge. Ask a little about his accomplishments in a mutual hobby, but don't try to hijack the interview.

Never interrupt an interviewer. Practice active listening before you interview elsewhere, it will pay off. The person interviewing you is normally the Human Resources rep. They usually believe they get along great with everyone there, but they do have a feel for how well an interviewee would interact with the people there when they're talking to you.

I hope this helps, good luck with your next job interview.

>>34625497
>"I like to photography and videogames. I also like to grow vegetables, and I hope to get involved in a community garden project if I move up here. I also collect firearms and I like going to the shooting range".

Better way to phrase that - "I love photography and am a casual gamer. As strange as it may sound, I let off steam by gardening. In fact, I'm interested in participating in community gardening if I get to move here."

>>34625393
>First job interview after finishing university
>First question the interviewers ask
>"Do you hunt?"

I love the South.

Haha you got fucked OP. I work in Cuckfornia in state healthcare and all my coworkers are gays or women who embrace the second amendment. Hell even my director is a hot veteran milf who has a couple ar-15's.

I mentioned guns in the interview for my job in central MA and all went a-ok. I mentioned firearms and competitive shooting as hobbies mostly for my own benefit in that I could gauge what kind of workplace environment it would be (Would any deviation from the most PC of PC topics result in HR alarms going off? Those places are HELL to work for, having done it before.)

It's like a whole different world west of 495. My boss was all about it, most of the rest of my interview was talking about guns, what USPSA was all about, etc etc. My current boss (Different person) has mentioned my shooting and stuff positively in performance evals (You're calm under pressure, focused, maybe that comes from your competition experience? Stuff like that).

Thinking about it now, if anything, I really think the hobby has helped me a lot. I got certified to teach the firearms safety courses for MA licensing a while back and it's been a HUGE help to me in getting better at public speaking, being more confident, and training new people at my job. I also have taken several co-workers shooting and introduced a lot of them to it (Got maybe a dozen or so people around the company trained for their LTC's in MA), which has definitely bolstered my reputation and I KNOW it makes me stand out in a good way.

Man, guns are fucking awesome in more ways than I'd realized.

>what are your hobbies

You shouldn't work for them regardless

>>34627971
HAHA, send a polite question to their upper echelons, attach that email

don't make any commentary beyond asking if it's typical for their company

>>34628704
using company resources to harass an applicant on political grounds

When mentioning hobbies, I just tell them I collect war memorabilia. I'm not lying, the vast majority of my guns are WWI and WWII.

I'm always terrible at job interviews though.

>>34625949
Businesses not hiring someone based on disliking something that is part of our Bill of Rights is about as scummy and un-American as it gets. BUT it is their right to do so.

OP only highlighted the part that triggered him. The real reason he wasn't hired was in the third sentence of that rejection letter.

Regardless of your autism levels, you probably dodged a bullet by not working there.

I work in a state where having guns is normal. All of my coworkers own guns and talk about guns. Fuck CA, NY, MA, IL etc.

Man, I'm glad I live in RI and not MA. I could throw a rock and hit someone standing in MA, but I get to enjoy the relatively lax gun laws and attitudes over here. Lots of people have guns, lots don't, and generally no one cares either way.

I did executive recruiting for awhile, and you're absolutely right. Never volunteer something controversial in an interview. Especially in boston of all places. You gotta know your audience.
