Antiwork

I’ve been done with this job since the beginning of the pandemic. The monotony, the incompetence of the executive team, the long hours working until 2-3 a.m. Only to watch the company slowly crumble. A few months ago it got sold to an even more incompetent company, like 10x worse. Almost all of the former executives have quit (probably in fear of losing their job) and many more have been let go. The acquiring company has made it abundantly clear they don’t give a fuck about us and everything has been a complete disaster. Half of my team (accounting) has quit and they have done nothing to try and replace anyone. They just dumped work of people who left onto other team members and now they’re working 12 hour days trying to get stuff done. They tried to get me to do someone else’s job, but I refused and it…

I feel like this would help future employees understand ‘company culture’ a lot faster than going through interviews.

If I’m applying to dozens of jobs, especially on indeed, I don’t want to create a profile on their website in addition to the application sent on indeed. Why is the job application process so horribly optimized? It’s only gotten worse since the days of “Please add a resume and fill out all these boxes of info that are in your resume”. I’m starting to not want to work because of this. Job searching should be easier, like have a place where I submit my information once, and can send it to different job posts automatically based on what I’m qualified for. And let me manually send applications to places I might not be qualified for.

I'm a university student currently applying for grad jobs and schemes, and so many of the applications contain behavioural assessments to test your natural abilities or whatever bullshit they measure. and they piss me the fuck off, because I hate the idea that I'll be cut out of a role because stupid, arbitrary parameters that I can't predict or know about. they tell you before you do them that 'there are no wrong answers', when there are wrong answers, because its a system by which they use to cut you out of the process. I wish companies would understand that if you pay me, I will fulfil the role you need me to fulfil, if you pay me to flexible, I'll be flexible, if I agree to work to deadlines, I will work to deadlines. for example, one I just did has you rank your opinions from 1 to 5…
