I think it's getting heavy at Intuit

relentless executioner

I got a recruiter email looking for tech nerd people there, and it included this sentence:

So we seek an entrepreneurial zealot who can change the world with his/her vision and relentless executioners drive.

I don't have the background, but I think I have the drive.

After enduring years of crying from friends that worked there, I would suggest blocking all Intuit emails.

Jesus Christ. Imagine the boardroom table conversation that resulted in that sentence.

If I met an entrepreneurial zealot I'd punch him/her in the teeth.

I'd take the position of "relentless executioner" in a New York minute, though.

Conan! What is best in life?

Especially if you got to be the "relentless executioner" and got to line up all the "entrepreneurial zealots" against the wall.

I love Frank Frazetta!I used to do drawings in my art lessons based off of his stuff. This particular one brings back memories of taking lessons with a family friend back in high school. The detail that goes into his work is astonishing. Thanks for posting this!

someone's taking their "headhunter" title a little too literally.

Actually I think one of my ancestors got a pardon with the First Fleet to Sydney Cove when he agreed to be the ship's executioner.

So I might have the right background!

The best part is ripping out the hearts of your acquisition target's owners while they are still alive, and hearing the lamentations of their women.

"relentless executioners drive" . I love it. There must be a better word than this:-).

That recruiter's flirting with disaster.
