How should I respond?

I interviewed for a job in November. Two rounds. No feedback. Didn't follow up because I'm pretty comfortable where I am. Also the manager was 15 minutes late to the first interview and I could tell he wouldn't be pleasant to work for. Since then I have seen them re-post the role twice on LinkedIn. One of their “Talent Acquisition Specialists” just contacted me with a generic “we think you'd be great for this role” message. Usually I would ignore this but I feel it's worth mentioning that this company sells HR/Recruiting software. Clearly it's not a great product. Looking for some creative responses.

My LinkedIn is flooded every week with previous colleagues posting slightly different versions of this. Blink twice if you need help.

Man, universal healthcare would be awesome right now

There hundreds of thousands of people that need it WAY more, but I've been having chronic back pains since October. Been seeing a walk-in chiropractor and I seem to be making small improvements, but the cause of the pains still aren't 100% apparent. It sure would be nice to go get an xray to see if there are any misaligned vertebrae or bulging discs without paying thousands of dollars

Wage thefts rampant..

Wage theft seems to be rampant throughout this sub reddit.. tbh it feels abit lopsided we can be charged for theft from a work place, but employers can't be charged with theft from an employee after they knowingly rip people off for years? I feel like I may aswell just start my own company and commit white collar crime since it just gets written off as an “accident”… Think outside the box, fuck having a boss and just take advantage of the system in place that they rip off.. that honestly seems like the only way forward!

Boss wrote me up for “productivity issues” and I said I would find a new job. Ask what he can do to make me stay when I find one.

So this is an old story but I did not know of this sub when it happened. I worked at a bulk warehouse on nightshift and was one of the best employees. When people called in I was there, when a project needed doing I was their go to, and I moved more product than anyone else on staff. Fast forward 7 years and the company rolls out a new hiring wage that was 17 cents behind what I was making. Needless to say I was agitated by that. I figured if new hires we're almost making as much as me I have no reason to work as hard as I was and started taking it a bit easier, I was still doing more than most and definitely more than what is expected of other employees. My manager noticed this and brought me into the office to issue a write…
