Don't think I've ever actually heard a company say "forget everything you learned in college".

You don't work where I work then.

Family-owned business. Realizes they're behind-the-ball on technology and practices. Hires college-educated & outside people to make suggestions.

"Well none of that makes sense to us. Forget all that and do it our way."

"That way is wrong."

"Well it's our business, we'll do it how we want."

Then they get all when the talented people get burnt out and quit after a few weeks. Eventually it's "well these kids just don't want to work hard like we do."

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
