Gone are the times when CV was enough. Now they want you to make an account to apply to their jobs. I had some jobs requiring me to fill in extensive brain-dead tests without anyone even having a glance at my CV. I mean, people don’t even really look at your CVs, do they? Now everything gets AI filtered. I got rejected from a position I believe I was overqualified for in ~5 minutes from applying. I had an interview today and I’d love to get the job, but I was sent a very overcomplicated form which is basically a retelling of my CV after the allegedly read through my CV and we had an interview where they could’ve asked me anything, which also features a references list! Why? It terrifies me they’d contact my employer and if they don’t hire me, which I assume they won’t, I’ll be seen as unloyal and therefore most likely to get overlooked when it comes to any promotions and whatnot. I hate it so much. I just want to work. Make me do work related exercises, not stuff for HR, please. PLEASE. PweAssseEEe. :cccccccc

The economy would simply collapse if the labor market was ever not employer sided. Capitalist economies simply aren’t built for it. Employers would downsize instead of paying higherlabor costs. In fact, thats what they do now when the labor market isnt in their favor enough.
Yeah I work in manufacturing and all the supervisors and managers think they can treat everyone like shit. I’m supposed to have an interview next week because I moved to a different department in the company, but I’m very hesitant about it because I recently had a fight with one of the supervisors and also with that supervisors manager this week so I really doubt this is a real interview, I think they just want me to go in so they can embarrass me in someway, which is shitty. I’m kinda just gonna put up with it for the meantime, but if they end up pulling some shit at this interview I’m gonna quit.
I hope you find a better job. I hate toxic managers. Our shitty main manager got a major promotion but will sadly still work from our office. :(
