I would like the SE community to vote on reopening this question: How to deal with a coworker who makes hateful comments about my religion?
I felt this original reason for being put on hold was the focus on the comments made on social media which is indeed off - topic for The Workplace. My edit ...

TL;DR
I knew I am accepting job offer at a crappy company (incompetence) because they offered a crazy salary (I had more such offers) and location was convenient. But there was other crap that I wasn't aware of like abuse and dictatorship. Now I want to get out of this shit without taking the bl...

Sounds like you might be part of the problem here. You shouldn't be whistling in an open office environment, it's annoying and rude
It's +10/-9 and went through review with 6 "recommend deletion" votes, and has been flagged again. Because of the positive score 20k users can't vote to delete. Ten people think it's a good answer; 9 voters and 6 reviewers (presumably with overlap) think it's bad. Anybody who has opinions that haven't yet been expressed through the tools of the site should go do so. Thanks.
Even if the whistling story hadn't been edited out of the question, this does not in any way help the OP with resolving his actual problem. While an argument can be made that the OP should also aim to correct his own quirks, that's entirely beside the point: dealing with a serial complainer who's disrupting the office. — Lilienthal9 secs ago
I've got a question for the crowd which I think is to opinion-based to make a good post, so I'll bring it here. When looking at a resume, which do you think is more important: the job title, or the company? I've always had job title as a heading, with the company as a descriptor, but my brother has it the opposite.
And in the same vein, is the degree or the school more important?
@DavidK it probably depends on who you're applying to and where you are in your career. For example, fresh grads all look basically the same so ones from "good" schools will probably want to highlight that -- during job-fair season everybody's probably assuming the degree on a first read. On the other hand, for a seasoned employee the job title (if meaningful) is probably more important than the company. On my resume I list "job title, company, dates" all on the same line.
Thanks @MonicaCellio. My brother is the one applying, and he's applying out of grad school. Though his situation is more unique since he got his MS in 2013 and is currently dropping out of his PhD program before completion. So his resume is a mix of degrees and lab and internship work.
@DavidK I would think that for a PhD, program and thesis topic would be most important, but I don't do a lot with academic resumes so I'm just guessing.
@DavidK The title should always be the heading. As for importance: both aren't nearly as important as the positions responsibilities, tasks and accomplishments.
Are there specific questions to ask an overseas employer that might not be relevant for someone in your country/city?
A couple of things come to mind:
What strengths does the hiring manager expect an international candidate to bring?
Conversely, what weaknesses or problems does he foresee...
@Lilienthal and @MonicaCellio, yes, in the US. And he's dropping out before he finishes his thesis, so that adds an entirely different set of problems to deal with when interviewing (which I know we have questions about).
@DavidK As far as I've been told many hiring managers still attach a ridiculous amount of importance to the school. There are also still managers who will more easily hire a fellow alum but they should be a minority.
As for the degree, well, I'd say it's critically important it matches what you're applying for but that's not universally true.
@DavidK oh. Yeah, I don't know what the best way to handle an incomplete program is. I've seen people list PhD programs "ABD" (all but dissertation), which conveys something different from "didn't complete the coursework". He should probably ask his advisor for guidance in addition to anything you learn here.
@Lilienthal: The extra spacsmay not be necessary in a wordprocessor, but a wider soace betsedn sentences remains correct typography... and does absolutely to har . If hou don't like it, don't use it, but critcizing it boes past nitlick into more-wrong-than-right. — keshlam34 mins ago
