Damn. I know about tweets not aging well, but that post is starting to light up reality.

Applying for jobs is such a fucking tedious process.

If you work in recruitment fuck you
The people can sometimes be bad. Worst part I felt was the technology choices they made.

I can't tell you how many so-called "Big Tech" bastions of Silicon Valley would point you to filing a formal application online in some Byzantine digital death trap. It was invariably some "applicant management system" operated by an Oracle acquisition from 1993 that had not updated its software since then and undoubtedly was selling off your personal data on a back-end leak to the lowest 4chan bidders.

The thing would let you upload click your resume, and then it would translate it all into Cyrillic and splooge every other word among some 280 data entry boxes you never asked for.

And countless Big Tech companies would use the same pile of rubbish, and yet you'd have to create a brand new account every time.

I felt like I was time traveling to Borneo circa 1998 with an IBM ThinkPad.

And you can complain all you want about getting ghosted by recruiters. They are just scalp-takers anyway. But you're just one of 70 million spermatozoa trying to fertilize that capitalist job egg, you're gonna get ignored a lot.

Famous chicken chain during the Roman Empire.

Used to order the Appian Way bucket with a side of crucifixion fries, and for free they'd toss in San Gennaro's severed head in a spare take-home bucket for you.

Good times...

The American employers who speak English that I encounter while on the job in stockholm more frequently usually work service industry jobs at American or English brands. Starbucks, American Apparel, M.A.C or random Urban Outfitters are some of them. Usually service stores and usually young people, mostly students, in locations in the central where tourists visit.
Sounds like babysitting for American executives' kids.

    I'm not entirely sure, but I don't think he is.

    Is Scottish... not Scottish?
    I've heard Ireland will import you pretty easily. Obviously not the UK, but adjacent.

    30% is badass, they must really love you
    I think they started to respect me a whole lot more. My last one was 30% as well.

    But just recently I presented them an idea that can land them a million per year so they are idiots if they don't implement it. But I believe my work is underpaid eventhough it sounds ungrateful.

    Not for my country.

    But hey, in all honestly, since I worked for shit wages plenty of times and since I've changed plenty of companies, it's not like they give 30% even if you have shit wages. It's usually 7-15%. 20 is rare while 30 is way too rare. That's at least from my experience.
