there needs to be a common form for job applications like with college
they’re incentivized to make it as shitty as possible both for this rite of passage shite as well as de-incentivizing workers in general from switching jobs ‘too freely’. it helps retention knowing how fucking miserable the process is
i hate how we’re supposed to act like we’re the Most Perfect fit for the role, and So Eager! – the most ideal human to ever walk the earth, specifically for this role.
and you get the job and go there and the coworkers aren’t fucking god and apollo, it’s joey and mark

it all feels pointless. after 2020 we know they can just pull the rug on everything…my generation and future ones know that there probably isn’t a future because we’re still polluting even though if we stopped now we’d all be suffering anyway so…full steam ahead i guess
RTO mandates are such a vile vile figment of the mid 2020s. massive quality of life downgrades are being mandated because some rich fucks bet too many fucking parlays on fucking office buildings
people have lives far, far beyond the scope of offices and business. people have dreams, desires, goals that matter a trillion times more than ‘mentorship’ or ‘organizational productivity’ ever, ever could.
