One of the most cathartic feelings in the world was turning in my Xfinity (Comcast) equipment for good. Years of horrible service and support and then a long came a small fiber company. Never looked back, and love their service!
Are you arguing that it's easier to find a job now than it was 15 years ago? Because I sure do read a lot about endless series of interviews that go nowhere and job offerings being posted that aren't even intended to be filled just to seem like a company is 'growing'.
I'm pretty sure OP is saying job hunting has gotten worse because job board websites are throttled.
Ahh, okay. I think I missed or inserted a negative!
Apologies! That was not my intended takeaway, rather that old ways of finding work no longer, well ... work. So being able to throttle such traffic is akin to having a power bill that only guarantees lighting.
Yeah, that makes sense!I've typically found that most of the opportunities I run into that have some promise are through connections more often than directly applying somewhere. Whether that be for housing, jobs, or whatever.
That or like local places that want local hires; but the bigger the job pool the iffier.
Funny how we seem to be learning across the board, in every sector, that the thing we've all been sold on being a measure of positive economic activity is actually incredibly toxic to ever being able to have anything nice.

The Federal Communications Commission has scheduled an April 25 vote to restore net neutrality rules similar to the ones introduced during the Obama era and repealed under former President Trump.
"A return to the FCC's overwhelmingly popular and court-approved standard of net neutrality will allow the agency to serve once again as a strong consumer advocate of an open Internet."
In October 2023, the FCC voted 3–2 along party lines to seek public comment on restoring net neutrality rules and common-carrier regulation of Internet service providers under Title II of the Communications Act.
While there hasn't been a national standard since then-Chairman Ajit Pai led a repeal in 2017, Internet service providers still have to follow net neutrality rules because California and other states impose their own similar regulations.
"Reimposing heavy-handed regulation will not just hobble network investment and innovation, it will also seriously jeopardize our nation's collective efforts to build and sustain reliable broadband in rural and unserved communities," cable lobbyist Michael Powell said today.
The cable group argues that restoring net neutrality rules will interfere with the Biden administration plan to expand broadband access with a $42.45 billion grant program that will distribute public money to ISPs.
