    Fucking Workday. I hate them so much. I’m applying for jobs right and left right now and half of them use Workday as a job application system and Workday is so shitty that you have to register individual accounts for half of the job applications but can re-use one you created elsewhere for the other half. And it’s not even clear when that is necessary to do until after you try to log in and are rejected.

    That is some supremely shitty coding. Either that or some sort of intentional thing that I cannot fathom.

      Probably single sign-on can be configured per customer or it uses workday as the default.

      Either way, prospects should be able to use one login for applications, they haven’t been hired by the company so the company doesn’t need to manage that user.

      I second your disdain. It’s no better from the inside either. A major company i used to work for took their old but functional system and replaced it with workday/worklife. It broke everything for months and was implemented 6 years later than scheduled.

      Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity

        This is a very outdated idea in our present political and economic climate. The driving principle behind all our problems is very definitely malice, even if it’s couched by several layers of obfuscation. The economic and political system is designed to extract wealth for the ultra rich at the expense of everybody else. That leads to behaviours that will be toxic and damaging, even if the given individual didn’t have any malicious intent.

        I don’t think there was malice. I’m thinking it’s stupidity either way. If it was intentional, the intent is almost certainly stupid.
