Seen on one of the mailing lists that I am on
I've heard it said - and find this to be true in enough cases to be useful as a rough guide - that men often try to stimulate conversation by disagreement, while women generally do the opposite (this provides a highly amusing view of teenagers' conversations involving the apposite sex, which tend to illustrate this, or something very close to it.) If so, then the Net often appears to be full of 12-year-old boys, stoned out of their minds on their brand-new experience with testosterone and desperate to be noticed.Unluckily (
) Yahoo! Bangalore has seen a big influx of "freshers" these days. Most of them come across as idiots, but I guess it is just their eagerness ( perhaps desperation would be the correct word) to get noticed.

PS: does yahoo allow you to post such comments about your juniors.You seem to directly disagree with their hiring approach,and that is better discussed in closed board room meetings!

Why does it look like that ?

In hindsight, I should not have said idiots
One of the reasons, I have liked being in Yahoo more than any other companies in the past, is that while there are so many really intelligent people working here, there is very little air of elitism in the air here. People respect others, and in turn get respect. There are some companies, who have made such a major air of elitism around them, that I would hate to be a part of them.
Granted, the air of elitism might be to attract talent, but when such a thing actually is inside a company, it becomes really difficult to work there.
The feeling among oldtimers of theirs being a golden age which is past, is nothing short of elitism to me. You will get old, younger people will come in, they will behave similar to what you did when you were young, they are bright, they will learn from the likes of you and they will get better.
By expecting these youngsters to be just the way you are right now, is quite unfair.
