But until then: If you actually communicate with the company by email,
etc. PLEASE slow down, try harder to hit the proper keys on your
keyboard, use spellcheck and have someone else proofread everything
before you send it.

If my department hiring committee were looking for a full time

We've had this discussion before. Tommy doesn't think spelling or
grammar are of any considerable value when job hunting.

 
 
 
 
And Flunky doesn't believe that working is part of a job.

Instead he thinks that he can get away with BSing us about 200 mile rides.

Never happened. You made something up, doubled down, and refused to
admit you were wrong. Nope, I never wrote, insinuated, made any
suggestion, posted any reference or link that would support your claim
that I was capable of such a feat. If you still think I did, post a
reference that you think supports your claim. It's entirely a figment of
your imagination. You looked at something that you thought was a 200
mile ride on my strava profile, then saw something that said I
maintained a 20 MPH average (which I've done frequently), and your
imagination did the rest.

Sounds like your brother should have trained more.

Flunky tells us he races in his 60's.

yes, and?

He also tells us that he works but magically is able to answer comments within seconds after they are written.

No magic involved. It's part of being a productive engineering
professional. Today I took a 90 minute lunch with my project manager and
firmware engineer at a local restaurant. We all had a beer. We do this
almost every friday. We talked about about technical issues on various
projects, but also chatted about non-work personal experiences. Our boss
has joined us on several occasions for these lunches. We can do these
things because we're good at our jobs, completing tasks within timelines
and budgets.

This isn't unusual, I've done the same at every job I've had since 1984.
(In fact, at one job I had in the early 2000's we would go to Hooters
every friday and get a pitcher). If you were competent at your jobs, you
wold have enjoyed the same freedoms and perks. It's obvious you weren't.

Just out of curiosity, what does a "productive engineer" do?
