We all have an expiration date. Yet sure let’s all just go to the same place day in and day out to do the same repetitive shit. I’m just trying to stay sane but it hardly seems worth selling half my life to not even enjoy the other half. This is insanity.
I’m currently between jobs right now as I was laid off, and I have to say, searching for jobs is miserable. The ones I’m qualified for will take a resume. The ones I’m overqualified for, want a resume and an application that takes up to an hour of my time. No thanks. This whole application process is a joke. A resume is just as good. Why? Because it’s not hard to verify basic information. Why should I have to put down my old employers name, address, email, phone number, SSN, personal cell phone, how many kids they have, etc. Anyways. If some employer won’t accept my resume and makes me fill out an online form…no thanks. End of rant.

For anyone who needs it.
So, my department had a team meeting yesterday. It was cringey as fuck. Management is horribly out of touch. We were promised that they would “TRY” to do something fun “IF” everyone met their metrics. Sounds to me like we're looking a Pizza Party!! Oh Man! So fuckin' excited! (This is my excited face) And then on top of that….After the meeting, we got a fun little quiz in our email to make sure we were paying attention during the team meeting. I refuse to do a fucking quiz.
https://getpocket.com/explore/item/is-there-an-upside-to-having-no-social-life?utm_source=pocket-newtab This article legitimately describes quality time spent with friends as a “time sink” and argues we should instead “embrace boredom” and spend our free time in solitude day dreaming of ways to be better little worker bees. Don't get me wrong I do believe the lack of brain breaks have led to a lot of the population being burnt out, but that's not because our social lives have expanded greatly in the two years we've been scared to stand within 6 feet of each other. Work encroaching on personal time is the problem, so clearly the answer is to have less personal connections and priorities to encroach on right? Couldn't possibly implement a 4 day work week or better pay and benefits so people can afford time saving luxuries like paying to have the lawn done, or getting prepared meals instead of having to cook. Nah, just get rid…
Workers could start saying things like: “Don’t be so concerned about profit! Is profit all this company means to you?” “Trust me, if you make that much profit then you’ll be put in a higher tax bracket and actually make LESS money!” “A workers union is in the best interest of the company, you’ll see!” and….. “Instead of working harder, how about we just throw management a pizza party this year!” Hahahahahah
