 I wish the developed countries could go back to the way things used to be done or are still done in developing countries where there isn't a resume, there's just proof of work done, like work done by an open source nym online. No holds barred and you're hired, just like that. 

Credential - less. 

Screw the system. We know you're capable and we'll take it; forget the regulatory barriers; they only exist to tax and add middlemen. 
 It's because it's so hard to fire someone, here. 
 where is "here"?  yes some places are overregulated. 

the more overregulation the more mentally slow and inefficient, I've observed. How these people are able to make a living soul sucking the system is just sad af 
 Germany. Used to work well, here, despite the overregulation, because Germans were so good at following instructions.

Okay, whether that's a feature or a bug, is open to interpretation. 😂
