Structural Stupidists

Folks, we have uncovered another structural engineering firm using a job posting to get free engineering ideas.   This firm claims to have really good engineers but do they really?   As you will find out today, that fake firm is AAI Engineering of Beaverton, Oregon.   That’s right, folks!   AAI is short for Afghan Arrogant Idiot.   Beaverton, OR, based AAI Engineering run by Hamid Afghan Arrogant Idiot. Here is how this scam happens.   Hamid Afghan, the founder of AAI Engineering, posted an ad for a Structural Engineer at his company.   So the candidate applied for it. Then Beaverton, OR, based AAI Engineering run by Hamid Afghan Arrogant Idiot contacted this person about a future Project Manager position at his firm.   Hamid discussed what this person would be tasked with doing.   The candidate felt really excited about the company and the position. During the interview, when Beaverton, OR, based AAI Engineering run by Hamid Afghan Arrogant Idiot was discussing the position,

  Folks, we have another alert for you on another structural engineering firm behaving badly.   This firm is RME Structural Engineers of Torrance, CA.   The name is short for Reider Marrs Structural Engineers.   It is founded by CEO and Principal Nick Marrs.   Reider Marrs Engineers CEO Nick Marrs started this firm after working at John Labib & Associates & KPFF.   Many readers of this blog know about the stupidity of KPFF Structural Engineers.   We discussed Blake the Flake Dilsworth a few years ago on this blog.   And so far, KPFF Structural Engineers has refused to contact this candidate as they have promised in the email. One candidate we know interviewed for the Project Manager position at RME Structural Engineers.   He met Reider Marrs Engineers CEO Nick Marrs personally.   We have posted the ad below: Reider Marrs Engineers CEO Nick Marrs stated to the candidate he had so much work that he could hardly get any sleep.   Guess what materialized instead, folks?   That ful

  Welcome to this educational session of Structural Stupidists.   Based on what we present today, we should call it the Weakest Link.   And boy have we found a Weakest Link.   Our Weakest Link today is Robson Forensics recruiter and Headcase Janelle Busby. For those folks who do not know about Robson Forensics, it is a firm that works to determine the cause of structural failures and the like.   Their headquarters is in Lancaster, PA. Well, folks, we have a story you need to read about because it will make you wonder why you should even hire them to do investigations.   Let us start the story, shall we? Robson Forensics placed an ad for a Structural Engineer for their San Jose, CA, office.   A Candidate we know applied for this position after receiving an email from their LinkedIn profile from Robson Forensics recruiter and Headcase Janelle Busby!   This person has 20+ years of Structural Engineering experience, is licensed as a Structural Engineer in Washington State, Ca

  Folks, we have another case of an employer in the structural engineering profession behaving very badly.   This employer is so stupid they do not even know how to hire employees using their own job ads.   This is due to the fact that employers like these are doing everything they can not to fill their positions.   In this case, some of the positions may be fraudulent.   One such company that has been caught doing this is Zapata, Inc., with locations in Charlotte, NC; Atlanta, GA; and Honolulu, HI. Yes, folks, Zapata Incorporated is an engineering and construction firm that works with the US Department of Defense and some private clients like Duke Energy.   According to their website, Zapata, Inc., claimed the value Trust Integrity, and Quality.   But when you read this post, you will discover Zapata’s Corporate Values are like a mirage in a desert.   We will show you why the Structural Stupidists feel Zapata is a fraudulent company.
