This is the best representation of HR I've ever seen. It's crystal clear, right there

If you watch this video, it might seem like innocent fun at first. They're just doing a little dance, messing around with the girlies, right?

Because that's not a caricature. That's the gatekeeper for your next job

That's the person who decided whether you got a callback after an interview

I remember applying to jobs when I was young. Fresh out of university, motivated, and willing to work. This was before I hated the corporate life

And 99% of the time my CV went straight into a black hole. I never got responses or reasons; it was just discarded by some algorithm, or by someone who couldn't tell the difference between a junior developer and a junior marketing assistant

When I finally had actual skills (when I became a web developer and had something real to offer), I thought it would get easier...

And it didn't

Instead I had to jump through hoop after hoop just to reach a human being who actually understood what I did:

- Personality assessments
- Group dynamics exercises
- Three rounds of interviews with people who'd never written a line of code in their lives, asking me where I saw myself in five years
-
You want to talk to the CTO for twenty minutes? First sit through forty-five minutes with someone whose job is to make sure you're "a culture fit"

A culture fit, FFS

For a lot of men I know, starting their own business wasn't some romantic entrepreneurial dream. It wasn't a vision board. It wasn't a podcast-worthy origin story

It was the only door that didn't have a bouncer in front of it

The system didn't want us... So we stopped asking for permission

@MikeBeauvais I use this app like four times a year, and every damn time I log on you show up on my FYP with 47 attempts at going viral when a celeb dies by reposting someone else’s content. It’s an illness at this point, and I can’t imagine how you have any time to pay attention to family.

[grumbo @GamboaCon]

@MikeBeauvais big fan, were you?

I'm trying to think of a more improbable story than Curt Cignetti and Indiana football in my entire career. Nothing is coming to mind.

2024 was a transformative year for me, in that i finally accepted that nobody cares about the things i care about and therefore posting is completely pointless.

anyway here's a google review i came across in mexico city

[grumbo @GamboaCon]

ok good catching up everybody. LFC top of the table, detroit lions super bowl, air kokomo still viral. unfollow stuart scotts eye and namaste

the 94% of my mufos who post like american che guevaras when they're asked to coalesce and put forth a remotely inspiring candidate in a two party system where the opposition is legitimately evil
