The whispering is all in her head and says she sucks

    You can be outraged all you’d like, but if you choose to, then we’re not really competing for the same jobs.

    I get that they’re busy, but it’s their problem, not mine.

    So? What are you going to do about it? They’re making it your problem, and you can comply or not get hired.

    IDK about you, but I’ve got a family to feed, car payments to make, a mortgage, and no self-esteem. It’s clearly hyperbole, but if I have to go down on a clown to make it easier to meet my income requirements, then I’m not gay but I’ll still be looking for some tictacs.

      no self-esteem

      Not setting standards for yourself is holding you back. I see people with your attitude get underpaid, passed over for deserved promotions, and get mistreated. You are enabling shitty companies to stay shitty.

      It’s sad.

        It IS sad, and shitty, that companies treat people like trash. But when you’re on your third layoff in 18 months for reasons completely out of your control, clown knob starts looking mighty appetising. Not everyone gets to live the same reality you do.

          Yeah, you live in the reality you create for yourself.

          Why would you stay in an industry that’s in a period of layoffs? Do you have no transferable skills? Did you make a series of financial decisions that mean you require a specific salary level?

          Do you not invest time in continuing education? Did you spend a decade working for people that didn’t invest in you? Gave you no opportunities to grow? Why would you tolerate that?

          Encouraging people to take abuse doesn’t fix anything.

          Encourage people to do things to insulate themselves from the risk of “reasons completely out of their control”.
