 @6b8a25fc @7dca5aa2 I work for a very large flavoring corporation and this kind of thing was also a part of my on boarding a year ago. 

Most of the people I work with barely speak English and are all horrible with computers. This sentiment extends into managerial roles. 

Out of the 15 people I directly work with on a daily only two are zoomers and then a handful including myself are millennials.

 @6b8a25fc @7dca5aa2 I think generally society has shifted toward a more coddling approach. I think indemnification is part of it. And then the other part is the march toward socialism/communism that seems to be picking up pace. 

I had an epiphany at the burger joint last night. Teenager giving us our food. We wanted extra sauce & the dude looked like he was gonna collapse/cry at the request. I ignored him selling the agony of being requested to do something and magically he got through it.

 @202b1ed5 @6b8a25fc @7dca5aa2 I say this because I think this has to be the approach of the increasing infantilization of all of us. 

No sell the whole thing and keep moving.

Good Lord! πŸ˜† 

I believed it though! 

Whatever dumbing down in school
They’re doing is certainly working. 

Also a o thing that is playing a roll in this  reminding thing out to employees is that I’ve heard that the employers aren’t having a lack of applicants…but when it comes to them showing up after them being hired is the bigger issue.

 @6b8a25fc @7dca5aa2 so the last time I was looking for a job I had a theory that companies were falsely posting jobs. 

I think it has to do with internal budgets.

I think they post jobs with no intention of hiring externally. And then it shows that on the books that they have openings and they save money because they allocate more money to β€œnew hires” vs β€œinternal transfers” or whatever. 

This is just what I’ve noticed from the two fairly large companies I’ve been with.

I’ve also noticed that if I applied as β€œmixed race” I was more likely to get calls from recruiters.
