I teach high school so I often dabble in short term Summer jobs for a few weeks just to fill the gap and enjoy a bit of variety.
Given the trajectory of the pandemic Airlines have found themselves understaffed for the upcoming travel surge and they are spamming every job board with postings. Out of pure curiosity I applied for two of the seasonal jobs (listed as starting at 150 hours *total* for the whole summer with full travel benefits which seemed too good to be true)
The application involved two hour long multiple choice 'assessments' that asked a variety of the same questions over and over and over again…
1.) Will I follow ALL of the rules without thinking for myself or questioning anything I'm told to do
2.) Will I always show up to work and work as many hours as they tell me to regardless of what's happening in my life.
3.) How many times have I previously left a job that I didn't like or have I been fired.
This was literally the most dystopian/dehumanizing thing I have ever encountered but maybe I just haven't had to deal with it in the public sector.
The look on these two jokers' faces seemed to sum up what would await me! 😀
Not sure how far I should take this experiment? Any insights are appreciated.
