Not quite sure what it is, but I'm sensing a bit of tension here OP, how's the job hunt?
man, have you tried job hunting lately?
it's a nice day when i get an automated rejection email instead of the usual deafening silence
and when an actual human replies??? highlight of the month
Job hunting is a lot different in my country and field. I usually get a personal email from either the department lead or the CEO no matter the result from the application. It does depend a bit on the company though. The big multinational companies are a lot colder.
What country is this, Candyland?
Judging by the tld on their instance, maybe Denmark.
Yes, Candyland.
Correct. Much smaller country with a much more limited employee pool, means the companies will have to show a bit of respect to the job seekers. Don't wanna piss someone off they may need later, or worse, piss someone off who tells everyone the company is shit and to be avoided. It does depend a lot on the field and region though.
Or just a small industry where everyone knows everyone else. I personally know probably 3/4 of all the hiring managers in my area for my field. Hell, two of them are in my weekly board game group. I could literally text someone for work right now and be hired before my DoorDash driver arrives with my dinner.
But during COVID, the entire industry was dry as a bone, and we lost a lot of good workers to other industries. As with everything, it entirely depends on the nature of the work.
i know you deleted it for a reason but i still saw the notification and just wanted to wish you the best of luck!
this too shall pass, keep going
Come to think of it, the usual roar of recruiter calls and emails has quoted down over the past couple months. Kinda peaceful.
I’ve been sticking to a job I’m not very happy with because the job hunt abyss looks like shit where I am. I’m actually struggling to rationalize some potential mental barriers I associate with higher paying alternatives, like what if I lose some security by being more vulnerable to layoffs, or what if I am even more unhappy after joining something I like less, despite the higher pay. Or what if I apply, and get far enough into the interview cycle that I feel inadequate/stupid when I don’t get to the end. I don’t know.
One thing that I’m finding a bit off-putting with this last year of “HR bad” memes is that they feel somewhat subtextually misogynistic to me? Even though this one nominally makes fun of very frustrating corporate and specifically HR attitudes and culture, I don’t know. It’s always women being presented as “catty bitches”. Which on one hand matches like 80% of my work experience, and on the other might be a sign of something.
Doesn’t help that for me I almost only see these being posted by someone at the fringes of my friend group who is properly Twitter brainrotted. You know what I mean.
