A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
the cover letting is pratically begging for the job. forgot the celebrity in the picture name, i assume she recently made the comment" just find your passion and not do any other job until you do". many people commented said , yea if you are WEALTHY. aka, cherry pick your jobs.
If a job ever asks me for a video, I'm just gonna bend over and show my ass hole cuz I'm 'bout to get fucked.
My local chain grocery store has asked us, local people, multiple times to apply as we have been shopping and slightly chatting with the staff. We have applied via the chain's systems. And yes, they expect you to send your CV and a written letter. Then you write out all the info in your CV to their forms. Then you take 5-10 videos of yourself answering their questions.
If you make through this, you get to the Second Level. There you're supposed to attend a Teams group meeting where you "fight" with random people who are also applying for the jobs, in different locations.
If you get through this, you get to the Third Level where you will be invited to another Teams meeting with one-on-one interview. If you get through this, you might get the job.
The job search is obviously not done by the local store, it's a "service" the chain buys from some other company. None of us have gotten through. The store seriously needs employees, they have the "search" constantly open and keep asking the locals to apply. The store has too little workers, it's not working properly. Shelves are unstocked, fruits rotten, staff is cranky and angry. The boss complains in local newspaper that "the locals just aren't applying for some reason!"
You can't really expect to get a good result without competition and a little vetting.
The most unbelievable part of this is teams working long enough to make it happen
why use a 3rd party recruit system, if they cant find people, this would be costco level of "hiring" except minus costco is great place to work compared all other chains. since costco is somewhat competitive, i heard its quite hard to get a job there, that isnt night time.
i heard this for certain companies like legacy techs, but not a grocery chain. Our grocery chain(WF) is so desperate they will hire almost anyone, the turnover was very high, because they decided skeleton crew some of the departments, via budget cuts, understaffing. the ones that quit were OVERworked, blamed for not doing enough by higher ups(Manager roles). front end, cs has the worst experience, followed by prepared foods.
Seriously? They make you fight other people for the spot? At a grocery store? Massive red flag, right up front.
That is why I always take a knife to my applications. In case I have to fight other applicants, or HR themselves.
That would not only make me not work there, but also not shop there.
In a small town with only two grocery stores, and the other one being mad expensive premium one.. Not much of choice.
Can you show the boss the application process/complain yourself in the newspaper? Unless you don’t really care, because that’s kind of a hassle either way
I contacted two newspapers at the time, no luck.
So either corporate doesn't want to hire; it looks good in the financials that there's less spend on employees. Or the 3rd party hr gets paid per person I interviewed so it's not in their interests to actually land a person at the job - that would only stop them being able to charge for interviews for the position. Either way, it's a massive fuck up and will destroy the company.
This is a wonderful encapsulation of the dysfunction of modern corporations.
What the actual fuck is this?
Corporate Hunger games?
corporate kiss assing. since they use things to ask if you are good fit, its mostly kissing thier ass, and playing nall with thier "corporate culture". job gap, and "what do you see your self in 5 years" probably guaging if you flake on the company as soon as you are hired.
If you had the choice between coming to work on time or attending the joint funeral of your child, spouse and parents what would you chose?
"I'd show up to work early. I can visit their graves on my day off later this year (if I take it). There's just too much shareholder value at stake for me to be inaccessible for an hour during the week"
I feel like you're a good candidate but that is just not enough. We are looking for the best of the best who go above and beyond and I feel like you just miss that little extra you know the last little bit on top
Unfortunately this job posting was never real in the first place
1.5 months 2 interviews. 40 applications. This is for all entry level/ sub 20 an hour jobs. Tbf it's summer so it's dry as fuck
With 8 years of customer service experience they eeked out an additional 15 cents an hour. Kill me now.
I love how some will require you to re input the same information again, despite a resume upload.
About to start putting domestic terrorist on the resume soon if nothing hits
when i was applying after graduated with my "degree' summer were the worst time to apply. i also noticed the more you apply the more bridges you burn with certain companies, because you start to see the same company again, and think you can apply to a different role, nope company has your email on file already.
mask up, leave no prints, and have someone keep watch
the local taco bell has a sign up saying "we're hiring, inquire within to apply". i havent seen that in years. i wonder if people are giving up navigating online job hunting
pre-pandemic, i actually tried applying through (when someone takes a picture of job hiring sign , with email contact) and uploads it to the job sites, nope, no responses at all, why bother putting it up if they are never going to look at thier email. one chain near me does job fairs so they hire people as fast as they can, but i doubt most places are like this.
I felt that with most bigger corporations, where it was a shitload of sometimes very abstract questions, asking the same thing in different words, all that sort of stuff and then having you answer some of that same stuff on video. I guess it's to try and see if you're a good "culture fit" without having to actually meet you.
Then in a smaller company it was a few questions and sending your CV online. I got a call next morning inviting me to an interview, which was very much a "let's get a feel of this guy", a firm handshake, done and done. It felt so good after all that big corporation horseshit.
most companies dont even go that far to look at your resume. before AI started trashing resume, they had softwares to screen out keywords/accept keywords and the hiring managers never see it, because the software just trashed the resume. AI made it 100x worst.
Typical dom/sub fetish stuff
