Ieri a fost o zi interesantă, adică un pic mai interesantă și mai picantă decît de obicei. Mai ales spre seară. Discutam cu o bună prietenă pe messenger și mi-a cerut părerea despre o conversație pe care a avut-o cu un tip. Ea caută proiecte ca freelancer și mai pune cv-uri și oferte pe site-uri precum odesk sau guru și, ocazional, mai întîlnește niște tipi ciudați. Zilele astea a abordat-o un tip care căuta colaboratori pentru un proiect de-al lui și au stabilit pentru aseară un fel de interviu folosind skype. I s-a părut bizar comportamentul, așa că mi-a trimis conversația cerîndu-mi părerea.
El s-a prezentat ca fiind din New York, dar mă gîndesc că nu are un comportament de american. Eventual este vreun românaș de-al nostru care (doar pretinde că) este plecat acolo. Am reprodus conversația mai jos, dar nu a fost nevoie să o citesc pînă la capăt ca să îi răspund: i-am spus că tipul este un idiot notoriu și că eu aș fi oprit conversația cu mult înainte de a o face ea. Evident, imediat după aceea l-aș fi blocat și l-aș fi zburat din listă de nu s-ar fi văzut.
Voi ce credeți? Ce-ați fi făcut voi în situația ei? Sper să nu-mi spuneți că i-ați fi dat apă la moară tipului că vă zbor. Tipul în cauză caută victime, adică fete (sau persoane în general) de care să profite.
La rugămintea ei am șters orice informație care poate duce înapoi la ea, am schimbat inclusiv numele. Dar id-ul individului a rămas identic, este un id de skype. Așa că, dacă aveți să-i spuneți vreun cuvînt de bine, dați-i bice.

[8:06:56 PM] Alina: any other photos are not relevant for the issue
[8:07:26 PM] john_nyc_04: actually. they are. because i want to know who i am dealing with
[8:08:02 PM] Alina: well, I think you my picture is good enough for you
[8:08:29 PM] Alina: This is not a casting for a fashion magazine or something like this.
[8:09:05 PM] john_nyc_04: i want to know that ur who u say u are.
[8:09:08 PM] john_nyc_04: thats the point.
[8:09:12 PM] john_nyc_04: maybe ur an agency
[8:09:14 PM] john_nyc_04: and i dont like that
[8:09:23 PM] Alina: I\'m not an agency
[8:09:29 PM] john_nyc_04: its my decision..to prove that.
[8:09:36 PM] Alina: Look, you can see my profile on guru.com
[8:10:00 PM] john_nyc_04: whats the link to ur profile?
[8:11:16 PM] Alina: http://www.guru.com/freelancers/
[8:11:24 PM] Alina: this is the link.
[8:12:26 PM] john_nyc_04: do you have a web cam?
[8:12:54 PM] Alina: See, that\'s were we say goodbye, I guess.
[8:13:06 PM] john_nyc_04: for sure. because u seem very suspicious..
[8:13:11 PM] john_nyc_04: and extremely obnoxious
[8:13:15 PM] Alina: You seem very suspicious
[8:13:36 PM] john_nyc_04: im suspicious..becaues i want to verify who will be working for me. right.
[8:13:43 PM] Alina: I gave you my guru.com profile and that is a proof I\'m not an agency.
[8:14:03 PM] Alina: You are very suspicious or looking for something else than offering a job
[8:14:09 PM] john_nyc_04: i decide what is proof or not. not u. ur too obnoxious.
[8:14:18 PM] john_nyc_04: u have a poor attitude
[8:14:24 PM] john_nyc_04: for some one who expects a job.
[8:14:33 PM] john_nyc_04: i would think,,that im working for you.
[8:14:42 PM] john_nyc_04: since you are making the rules.
[8:15:03 PM] john_nyc_04: how much do you want to pay me?
[8:15:15 PM] Alina: John, I\'m looking for a job, but that dosen\'t mean I have to show you my cam.
[8:16:00 PM] john_nyc_04: alina. i understand u are afraid i want something stupid..like a web cam girl. But u cant let ur insecurities get in the way of normal business.
[8:16:05 PM] john_nyc_04: u want an interview, wiht out showing ur face.
[8:16:19 PM] john_nyc_04: i want to know for sure who im dealing with. your insecurities,,really..are a personal problem
[8:16:24 PM] john_nyc_04: and they have no place in business.
[8:16:28 PM] Alina: And it\'s not about who is making the rules in here. I\'m used to work with people and interact with them smoothly.
[8:16:28 PM] john_nyc_04: and..furthermore..
[8:16:53 PM] john_nyc_04: ur attitude,,is actually acusatory to me. u are actually acusing me of being interested in something indecent.
[8:17:03 PM] john_nyc_04: u need to realize, the attitude of that.
[8:17:15 PM] john_nyc_04: i\'ve every right, to want to see the face. of who i\'ll be trusting with my business.
[8:17:25 PM] john_nyc_04: ur insecurities, have no place here.
[8:17:33 PM] Alina: I realize that John, but I\'m not used for people who work with to chat on the camera.
[8:18:03 PM] john_nyc_04: so...ur hard headed..and you\'ll never do what ur not used too?
[8:18:11 PM] john_nyc_04: great intervew strategy alina
[8:18:11 PM] Alina: You have to admit and you already did it: you are insecure as well as you just told me you need to be sure who I am.
[8:18:12 PM] john_nyc_04: honestly
[8:18:40 PM] john_nyc_04: its not insecure..employers have a right to know who they employ. its ridiculous to think otherwise.
[8:18:55 PM] john_nyc_04: u accused me of soemthing illicit. and thats...actually rude.
[8:19:04 PM] john_nyc_04: and insulting. to me.
[8:19:25 PM] john_nyc_04: i dont know what ego problems you have. but i assure you...your face is not a prize for me to look at
[8:19:41 PM] john_nyc_04: however, i\'ve a right to verify who im dealing with.
[8:19:51 PM] john_nyc_04: and to do it,,to MY satisfaction. not to yours.
[8:19:54 PM] john_nyc_04: you\'re not the boss.
[8:20:35 PM] john_nyc_04: to have this type of fight with you,,,during an interview at that. its just ridiculous. dont u think?
[8:23:39 PM] Alina: Oh, of course I do think so. And no, I do not consider you my boss, even if you were hiring me. It\'s not like I\'m working for some company and have an annoying boss. I like to consider the people I work with my friends.
[8:24:05 PM] john_nyc_04: freiends. except u want to hide ur face.
[8:24:12 PM] john_nyc_04: ok. u got issues. you\'re very confused in life.
[8:24:19 PM] john_nyc_04: i think ur a spoiled little girl.
[8:24:20 PM] john_nyc_04: im sorry
[8:24:29 PM] john_nyc_04: if im paying..im the boss
[8:24:37 PM] john_nyc_04: there is no equality...if im paying.
[8:24:46 PM] john_nyc_04: we can be friends..if u pay me. how\'s that?
[8:24:48 PM] Alina: And I\'m sorry if you feel insulted, it was NOT my intention. really not.
[8:25:20 PM] john_nyc_04: i could see already, what it would be like..to deal with you. I pay...and i tell u to do something...and then, u argue with me about how u know better, and my way is wrong.
[8:25:59 PM] john_nyc_04: yet,,i own a company..and you....do....what? and we are equasl, friends......except, i pay...and, you dont own the company.
[8:26:22 PM] john_nyc_04: i think u need a grip on reality alina really. im sorry. but ur attitude, is just not fit for the real world.
[8:27:45 PM] john_nyc_04: all you had to do, was show ur face and prove who u are. Instead,,,u started this whole big ordeal..cause u couldnt accept authority.
[8:28:05 PM] john_nyc_04: its like,,,im arguing with my little daughter right now.
[8:28:08 PM] Alina: OK John, was a pleasure to talk to you, really. Even if you used some hard words in here. I do not take it personal
[8:28:25 PM] john_nyc_04: look. im not trying to make u feel bad.
[8:28:33 PM] Alina: Of course, your little daughter. Except I\'m 30.
[8:28:46 PM] john_nyc_04: im just tellin gu honestly. the business would would never accept that attitude. if u want success in life..
[8:28:51 PM] john_nyc_04: try to be flexible
[8:28:56 PM] john_nyc_04: ur 30?
[8:29:01 PM] john_nyc_04: so..act it
[8:29:02 PM] Alina: I\'m Flexible, John
[8:29:12 PM] Alina: Let\'s start this again
[8:29:15 PM] john_nyc_04: ok.
[8:29:17 PM] Alina: You came in.
[8:29:21 PM] Alina: Asked for a photo.
[8:29:28 PM] john_nyc_04: wait.
[8:29:28 PM] john_nyc_04: hey
[8:29:30 PM] john_nyc_04: if we start again..drop it
[8:29:30 PM] Alina: I gave you my profile, Guru.com profile
[8:29:32 PM] john_nyc_04: and start again
[8:29:34 PM] john_nyc_04: dont recant it

[8:29:42 PM] john_nyc_04: hi..im john,,how are u?
[8:30:13 PM] john_nyc_04: dont argue me...it will never end. i absolutely will not concede to you. realize, who\'s "NOT\' the boss.
[8:30:22 PM] Alina: And them you asked for cam. YOU SEE, I\'m not used with this kind of "questioning" the fact that I am or I am not the person behind my words. This is also insulting, if you didn\'t noticed this by now.
[8:30:23 PM] john_nyc_04: if u want to start over. we can.
[8:30:46 PM] john_nyc_04: i dont care if u consider me ur boss or not. But ur definately not my boss. so dont argue me.
