2012-05-21
I don't know if you guys heard Yahoo is in the news first off Yahoo is in the news Yahoo cause that's the whole bit just let's just take that in just you know so let that soak in for a second I'm excited so they hired the CEOs thing with Scott Thompson Scott Thompson so right there's make that up Eddy how he's there for five buns and then he got fired because he lied on his resume about having a computer science degree he's actually as an accountant he has an accounting degree but he does not have a computer science degree there's a big kerfuffle that's a word and you think you would check that they fired him so so we were talking about it and we and I said look everybody lies on their resume right you've all lied on your resume yeah he said this to an audience of his employees yeah I mean I've la I lied there's no way I should be running the verge I lied about my I mean no eyes not I'm not qualified I tell people I'm a doctor there you go hi super I'm dr. Patel I thought you were doctors don't take those that's ecstasy he's like this will make you feel a lot better there's nothing to joke on every Oliver all right anyhow but we were like let's find people and ask them if they've lied let's see if people will tell us if they've if they've lied on their resume and Frank and specifically what they've lied about Paul thought that people would not go for it no Paul was dead wrong very wrong Neal I took to the streets of New York the hot sweaty gross sexy streets of New York we might have different ways and Andy talked to people never as people everyone is like like you know I don't usually lie but I'll lie on my resume here's exactly what I did take a look at this it's a fascinating look into the minds and hearts of average New Yorkers if you relied on your resume to get a job mmhmm yeah absolutely absolutely yeah I wouldn't say I have lied maybe like exaggerated responsibilities so on your resume right now it says they're fluid in Portuguese it might say do you know one word in Portuguese see is that does it mean yes yeah do you know how to say no now okay you know it's a baby it's almost just like if you don't do it you're an idiot because you won't get the job I lied about having let's agree oh my god you know I think the weirdest resume have you ever received at the verge is literally just the word please I know that means I didn't sleep that night so you're on your resume it said you were manager yes yeah what were you actually a chance no it was an Excel I'm a bank it changes but I'm actually a checking account we need some like suits we need to see what the 1% thinks of lies problem is none of them will talk to us excuse me sir we're doing some interviews no none of that excuse me we're doing an interview about lying and resume yeah just wanting to be involved with your thing all right thanks I appreciate it excuse me sir your boyfriend yeah hi we'll talk to you next oh my god your guy in a suit I've been waiting for a guy in his food oh my god come on big guy Masood yeah if you were hiring people and you came across the resume with the yahoo email address on it you I would be a little offended because everyone uses Gmail who who has Yahoo or like hotmail I had a hotmail account before my Gmail and everyone was like that's only for like child predators what's your main personally I have a hotmail account when they don't have a gmail email address actually I judge them so that's people they don't have Gmail yeah I never use Yahoo I told somebody my email just as I air Wallace and the person at my job just kind of look at me like do you still have a oh well like come on you gotta get up on the Gmail now I'm a Gmail guy there are three things you would immediately do if you're the CEO yeah oh god I'm try pray pray pray cry pray and then I would call a big meeting to restrict you the my first move would be to quit second move would be to sell my shares because then you wouldn't be obstructed by that we're going to move to get out ultimately we're all liars we all stretch the boundaries of reality to construct a box that makes us feel more comfortable but as I looked inward today a universal truth revealed itself to me no one gives a about Yahoo that was that was enlightening alright seems like you got it lightened there it was very very strange yeah I uh I liked your last line no one gives a about Yahoo that's really touching well no the whole problem is that Yahoo doesn't give a about Yahoo and that is it that's how this happened it does seem like if they were just took a little more care with the brand they might not have hired the guy who likes resume they like Scott what what it's fine just hi does he have a computer science degree so you have a goal here right does he have a computer all right I mean ultimately aren't we all computer scientists though on our resume
