THE SNOWFLAKE TEST

The Silent Partner Marketing firm in Manchester, Connecticut, developed a questionnaire to help weed through job applicants. It’s referred to as “The Snowflake Test”. It asks applicants key questions on what “privilege” means to them and where they stand on the Second Amendment, and how do they feel about the police, and “when was the last time you cried and why?” Kyle Reyes, Silent Partner’s CEO, says he’s looking for employees who do not have a sense of entitlement, as many snowflakes do, and are not expecting things to be handed to them. Emotional people are not a problem, Reyes said, as long as he does not have to provide them with a safe space at the office. “I want people who have a sense of community, who have a sense of heart, who aren’t afraid to wear their hearts on their sleeves,” Reyes said, “but who are able to make an argument and stand by it.”
* I don’t think this company has a ball pit or coloring books.
* I would imagine if you have to ask for a pen to take the test, you are immediately disqualified.
* If your have to call your mom to get an answer to any question, you are disqualified.
* If you expect your office furniture to be “ergonomically designed”, you are disqualified.
* If you’ve ever used the expression “cultural appropriation”, you are disqualified.
* If you complete the questionnaire and then ask, “Do I get a trophy?” you are disqualified.
* And do not, under any circumstances, ask if you get healthcare, overtime, or a pension.
* Sure, that’s how the world got so screwed up…too many snowflakes.
* It didn’t have anything to do with the Boomers at all…no way.
* I’d give them a break. They’re probably heading into a real buzz saw.
* Let’s put it this way: the future isn’t what it used to be.
