Meta Question

I just saw that Fluther is looking for an Operations Engineer. In this large group, is there no one to fit that position?

Asked by emptynestinco (266points) November 1st, 2011

Since I’m so new, I have been navigating my way around the site and, since I’m looking for work, clicked on the “jobs” tab. I’m just betting the perfect person for this position is right here on this site but doesn’t realize the position is available.

Thoughtful of you to post. I didn’t even know we had a “jobs” link.

Where is this “jobs” tab of which you speak?

harple's avatar

@HungryGuy bottom left of your page – all the way down at the bottom…

Looking at the information on it, is this job not current perhaps?

HungryGuy's avatar

@harple – Oh! I never, ever scrolled all the way to the bottom of a Fluther page to see what’s down there :-p

I bet it is an old advertisement. Fluther doesn’t operate out of SF now. Right?

I don’t know if anyone here can do that but it’s exciting and makes me more hopeful that fluther has a future. If they are hiring a full time operations engineer, that they are investing in the site. That means they don’t intend to just let it die.

@bkcunningham You think so? I know they don’t have an official headquarters there anymore… but, thanks for dashing my hopes my friend. :-)

bkcunningham's avatar

Oh, sorry @lillycoyote. I really don’t know that absolutely for a fact. Don’t be completely let down until someone official answers. Just be prepared in case I’m right.

That listing seems to be a few years old.

janbb's avatar

Oh yeah – that’s old.

zensky's avatar

Oh well – @emptynestinco has left the building.

AmWiser's avatar

@zensky that’s odd, I wonder why???? Also that was a great question, don’t you think?

@dappled_leaves, ditto!

dappled_leaves's avatar

There’s a jobs tab? Oh wow… look at all those links at the bottom of the page! Damn, I get so distracted by the questions, I never notice half of this stuff.

zensky's avatar

Yes – and he/she was PMing me for a while.

Whats with these new people leaving all the time after one question, its kind of pissing me off. I think this person was jsut trying to get the job. Good thing we wouldn’t have been able to hire, they obviously only cared about money.

Bellatrix's avatar

Perhaps they have been here before or they are an existing member who didn’t want to ask the question publicly?

XOIIO's avatar

@Bellatrix That wouldn’t make sense, there is no reason to why they wouldn’t ask it publicly, t jsut doesnt make sense.

Dog's avatar

I do not see any openings for jobs…..

Bellatrix's avatar

Perhaps they wanted to alert people to the job opportunity @XOIIO but don’t want to be seen to be doing this? I don’t know. Sometimes people want to remain impartial in these things. Since none of us have seen it, it wouldn’t be such a silly thing would it? It seems to have gone now anyway.

Definitely no current job listings. The guys must have forgotten to remove the old ad. Sorry to disappoint!

bkcunningham's avatar

The OP left because of a discussion on another thread in meta. That discussion has now been deleted.

Oooh – intrigue!
