Antiwork

Trying to get a decent-paying job in the USA is like joining a Cult.

I swear no one in HR ever really looks at your skills or experience anymore, it's all about the “quirky questions” and if you are “a good fit” with their “culture” to see how much Kool-Aid you'll drink. Plus it seems companies automatically just dismiss job applicants until they've applied 5 or 6 times, just to see how bad they really want to work there. Sure, I could easily just go to the local grocery store and get a low-paying job but that won't even cover my rent. But getting a job with a decent wage has become almost impossible, even if you are totally qualified for the role.
