User ID: 77504359 United States01/21/2021 11:38 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79543875 It’s the menopausal years which are difficult. It makes many women crazy. And they just have the I’m done with crap attitude which may be warranted. But it’s not good for the workplace. It use to be that women at that age were helping to take care of the grandkids and having some fun. Not out in the workplace or just a low stress part time job. Oh goodness, Don't hire young teenage girls-- they will distract the male employees Don't hire 20 somethings-- they are going to get pregnant Don't hire 30 somethings-- they have a family to care of Don't hire 40 plus-- they are menopausal Perhaps its the inequalities and assumptions that make women crazy I think a lot of women screw themselves by assuming that they won't get hired because of their age ... which translates to childbearing or not, etc. They make themselves crazy. I got hired twice while visibly pregnant. People were shocked I was job hunting while ready to pop. It wasn't the hiring managers that were the problem, it was all the ladies saying ... "they aren't going to hire you because you'll be out for 3 months already ..." There is a lot of old school thinking going on that really doesn't apply in corporate settings anymore. It depends upon your profession-- Some are much better than others That's true. I have many unpopular opinions, and how I feel about private sector corporate life is one. I advise all the girls I know - if they have no idea what they want to do with their lives - to go to any affordable college and get a degree in whatever pleases them, and then go for whatever they can in the corporate world. HR, Accounting, IT, QC, Audit .. whatever. I've been in corporate life for 25 years, and there is no end in sight. I have co-workers pushing 80, still happily coming in, and still valued by the company. If you increase the bottom line, you are valued by the company. That's the way to go for average kids, boys and girls, who can sit still long enough. When the shit hits the fan and the end is just nigh, will you cry out to Heaven? Will you lie down and die? Not me, my dear one - THIS IS MY SACRED LIFE - to no one nor no thing I'll surrender. For how does one know where when dead she will go, or if sweet Mother Earth he'll remember? - Sug |

They don't have time to follow up with prospective employers to confirm the person actually showed up for the interview. Sad state of affairs. This business will get out of control.

User ID: 79436619 United States01/21/2021 11:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Been unemployed for about 9 months now. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79104722 Yes majority was during the covid crap. I've filled out hundreds of applications, sent my resume to hundreds of places, nada. I see the same job postings day after day. I go to places in person, i ask about job postings online. I am met with snarky attitudes, i am told that if they are interested they will call me. I am also told by some places that they are not hiring at all(despite an online job posting), or an outside company does the hiring. Fake jobs, fake life. Also I spoke with an unemployment counselor who works with the city, he told me currently there are way more people out of work than jobs available. What does this mean? hundreds if not thousands of applicants for each job, and super picky employers At this point getting a job is like winning the lottery. Agree with you OP. I think the government is LYING about unemployment numbers. A ton of small businesses closed for good, and we are expected to believe that huge wave didn't affect the numbers in a huge way? The numbers don't make it out to be that bad but let's use our brains here. Economy closed down in many states and that is hard to come back from quickly. Agree with you on the same jobs being posted each day. I see that too. Another huge problem is temp agencies and other "hiring" agencies (funny terms for corporate middle men thieving entities) are everywhere. As far as the attitude thing, that sucks when you encounter that in just the initial interviewing stages. Never a good sign, I tell those people to fuck off right away if I am given that snarky attitude. No job is worth that. With Trump we had a chance of recovery. I don't see it under Biden/Harris. At best they know how to create fake jobs or shovel ready jobs. Not real jobs. Not growing the economy. Maybe only wokejobs. See if you can become a Democratic strategist or diversity outreach coordinator or something. They're going to fill those positions and the government will make sure they're funded. It might as well be you going through the motions in those positions. . DON'T VAX, PROPHYLAX! ____________ There is no anger in Me: If one offers Me thorns and thistles, I will march to battle against him, And set all of them on fire. But if he holds fast to My refuge, He makes Me his friend; He makes Me his friend. (Isaiah 27:4-5) |

Quoting: astratt5757 They are only hiring people with BA degrees right now... My husband in the 30 yrs I have been with him has NEVER had a hard time finding a job in his field. He just went through 3 interviews at a good company...told us NO yesterday. In the 6.5 mos he has been out of work...he has only gotten 1 interview per month!!! He is so discouraged...I saw him in bed yesterday, cause he has a sinus infection....and he was weeping! I just encourage him and and tell him we will Trust God for the right position....I will keep his spirits up and we will not give up...EVER Keep a close eye on him and remind him of his worth.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79104722 Yes majority was during the covid crap. I've filled out hundreds of applications, sent my resume to hundreds of places, nada. I see the same job postings day after day. I go to places in person, i ask about job postings online. I am met with snarky attitudes, i am told that if they are interested they will call me. I am also told by some places that they are not hiring at all(despite an online job posting), or an outside company does the hiring. Fake jobs, fake life. Also I spoke with an unemployment counselor who works with the city, he told me currently there are way more people out of work than jobs available. What does this mean? hundreds if not thousands of applicants for each job, and super picky employers At this point getting a job is like winning the lottery. Same in Sweden...they're also stressing you to death with threats and stuff when you can't find a job. (They threat that you won't get any support money any more...they are just insane.) Oh, but if you a newcomer from a muslem desert country THEN you will have all the benefits they can find. i believe it |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 77963596 Canada01/21/2021 11:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | the government spends $5 trillion a year now PLUS 4 or 5 trillion a year QE. $10 trillion a year. I could give anyone of you complete utter morons $1 billion dollars and you could hire people to do work, how hard is that? you can always hire a manager, put someone in charge you don't have to know anything at all. You go to a home builder, you say I'll pay $50,000 a year to 20,000 people to build 20,000 nice homes this year. so what the fuck are they doin with this $10 trillion dollars?? how much worse could they possible mismanage our money? for $10 trillion dollars nobody on earth should ever have to work ever again if they spent it intelligently and they know it. $10 trillion dollars is 10,000 times one billion dollars. $1 trillion dollars I could hire 20 million people at $50,,000 a year to build 20 million homes, homes that would last 100 years. Nobody would ever have to work for a house again PLUS 20 million people would have $50,000 to spend...and not be spending it all on housing, they'd be spending it on all the other goods and services people have to offer. It would be the greatest renaissance of human beings in history. |
