Why are you unemployed at a time when Pittsburgh restaurants are desperate to hire employees. Our policy is not to hire people who are not currently working at another job.

When they answer their own question immediately after asking it.

"Why are you a lazy piece of shit who should beg me for mercy because I am better than you because I am rich?" how-much-could-it-cost

"Why is my restaurant on fire 🔥😫"

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 96 points 3 months ago

Reminds me of the time someone tried to ask me this sort of shit during a phone interview

I just went "It's obvious you're just on a power trip and I am not looking to be disrespected, best of luck finding someone who is" and hung up

Our policy is that small business owners should be put in the pit. Why should we change our policy to not put you in the small business owner pit? Please write a 5-page response and include a video of your response in the form of interpretative dance.

imagine not lying your ass off to some bozo like that. assuming you're in dire enough circumstances to need the job.

I would tell this asshole I worked at the White House and had training in the highest standards where I received commendations for 10 years of service. And I only left and moved back to do my part in elevating the community with hard work and grit.

then, when his back is turned clonk em with a honing rod and rob his ass blind.

[-] mathemachristian@lemm.ee 59 points 3 months ago

If you ever want a job at these types of places you need to let it shine through that youre hardworking and desperate, aka easily exploitable. A gig at the white house on your resume would be an instant disqualification.

[-] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 43 points 3 months ago

did I say I wanted a job there? I want to clonk him, take his wallet and bank deposit bag.

the white house story is to make him pull out his phone and try to confirm some particularly outrageous claims in my story ("They posted a photo of me on the home page to honor me for my service.")

that's clonkin' time.

you're probably thinking, how are you going to do this, because the you've only filled out a form online and he's reading it later.

how indeed! please send $50 to Cashapp M0n3yRiddLer2024 to learn the secrets of high tech robbery.

[-] heggs_bayer@hexbear.net 26 points 3 months ago

I think they're saying that you won't even be able to get close enough to do a clonking if you don't come across as desperate.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

You ever manage at a restaurant? STFU. These are all legit questions for that industrial demographic. What’s wrong, you just get fired from your last serving job😂?

If you have an issue with this questions then you really need some introspection. Who cares? Do you want the job or not? They're easy questions to answer.

And people say liberals are condescending smuglords.

[-] Omegamint@hexbear.net 52 points 3 months ago

This is why everyone should just lie on these types of applications. If everyone lies the sheer amount of bullshit these types will have to sift through will be punishment enough

[-] Tachanka@hexbear.net 52 points 3 months ago

Capitalism maintains a permanent "reserve army" of unemployed as a potential source of scabs, but then will also blame the unemployed for not being employed, as if capitalism was ever a system that advocated for 100% employment (it wasn't).

[-] take_five_seconds@hexbear.net 48 points 3 months ago

gee i wonder why nobody wants to work anymore

[-] Rojo27@hexbear.net 47 points 3 months ago

Well at least they're being mask off about it.

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 46 points 3 months ago

Most sane and humane small business owner ever.

[-] Crowtee_Robot@hexbear.net 45 points 3 months ago

I'm sure employees who currently work there are very fulfilled and satisfied.

[-] GnastyGnuts@hexbear.net 45 points 3 months ago

For whatever reason, the people who go out of their way to defend this stuff (you'll find several in the comments of that xcancel link) always piss me off more than the people who actually do these things.

[-] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago

Because I understand, why people do these things (to solidify their power over employees), but people who defend this are literally fucking over themselves and other workers for absolutely nothing.

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 34 points 3 months ago

Fuck your "pOliCy" and remain unstaffed fuckers.

[-] chickentendrils@hexbear.net 32 points 3 months ago

such and obvious stupid power trip

why? cuz youve probably got a few people working there who just lied and are doing fine lol had their friend answer the phone bonk

[-] Thorngraff_Ironbeard@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago

Who doesn't like on applications lol. I worked for a place a year and then was unemployed for a year? Actually I worked there for 2 years.

[-] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago

Oh, my resume is full of lies. It's ironically for capitalism's own good that we all lie on resumes.

Employers are some of the most perfectionist nutjobs I can think of. I have plenty in my rural ohio hometown. I tried to wash dishes once and got turned away because "Sorry kiddo, I only hire world-class talent, and you haven't worked before!" Perfectionism is literally a CIA sabotage tactic, yet employer entitlement is so high they voluntarily do it to themselves.

How to guarantee you'll get the worst possible food service workers you can get. Any cook or server worth their shit would walk away immediately

[-] Nationalgoatism@hexbear.net 28 points 3 months ago

Procedurally generating thousands of real looking resumes/applications then submitting them all.

[-] HotAtForty@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago

Fuuuuck that’s smart

[-] Red_sun_in_the_sky@hexbear.net 27 points 3 months ago

why are you unemployed when Pittsburgh restaurants are desperate to hire

SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP ...SHUT UP... SHUT UP... SHUT UUUUUUUP

[-] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 15 points 3 months ago

Why are you unemployed when Pittsburgh restaurants are desperate to hire

Because all of you keep telling me "no" when I need a job, that's why.

[-] redsteel@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 3 months ago

Same shit here. Applying at jobs I'm legitimately qualified for and able-bodied enough to do, then getting ghosted, rejected by automated email after 1-7 days, or maybe given an interview and then rejected 3-5 days after that. Some places I have 5 or 6 applications at over a period of a few years, all rejected before an interview without explanation. If I didn't already have major chronic depression before starting adult life, I sure as fuck would've after being forced into the capitalist labor market.

These "nobody wants to work anymore" bosses sure are picky.

[-] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 9 points 3 months ago

What the hell even got into bosses that made them so picky in the first place?

How is gen Z supposed to get their first job if everyone only wants to hire "masters" for even internships?

[-] 666@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 3 months ago

I knew an older Gen Z who became a literal cryptkeeper.

guys job was to watch, maintain, clean and do security overnight in a mausoleum. Paid 19 an hour.

[-] Red_sun_in_the_sky@hexbear.net 26 points 3 months ago

why do you think we should change our policy

[-] Grandpa_garbagio@hexbear.net 23 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Lie and leave ASAP

[-] peeonyou@hexbear.net 15 points 3 months ago

i'd write a big "fuck yourself" in each of those blanks

[-] HotAtForty@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago

My policy is not to take shit from anyone and to chase a higher salary / better conditions.

[-] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

For anyone that needs to hear this: just lie on your application/resume. Have a friend or two that will confirm you work/worked for them. Same thing with rental applications that want you to show 3x income to rent or whatever. Photoshop up some bank statements or paystubs.
