no the correct answer is fuck off
Guess that’s the new intern spec
Some of the shit I am seeing right now while job searching is just appalling. I have had to opt out to having an AI review my resume twice. The employers CLAIM they won’t see that as a negative, but I have my doubts. The sketchiness of some of them is amazing too. Check this one out:
And the language, it makes me want to get stabby. “Are you a visionary creative leader with a passion for social media and an eye for aesthetics?” Can you go fuck yourselves?
Also, having never worked in the UK before, I’m pretty shocked that they want to know my sexuality and whether I am the same gender I was assigned at birth. That is on a LOT of job applications and it is not always skippable even if I thought it was a good idea to skip it. Totally wouldn’t be legal in the U.S.
A couple of days ago, I applied for the position of “Creative Content Creator.” I believe there is a phrase in the U.K. for being laid off- “made redundant…” I think you’re made redundant when you get hired for that job.
unfortunately it is an age of bullshit. they basically use bullshitting skills as the first level filter for job applications. the way people advertise their positions you would think you are applying for a job at google or sth.
I’ll pose my own question.
Would you be comfortable if your employees worked other jobs that reduce their schedule flexibility and could cause scheduling conflicts or coverage gaps between shifts? (for example, I can’t work mon, tues, thurs, fri because I have another job that gives me a regular paycheck and they have scheduled me working then.)
There’s a correct answer?
Hilarious
If the quiz is “Do you have what it takes to be a you-tuber?”, or something like that, then yes. If it is some corporate bullshit, the the quiz makers should fuck off.
“We’ve polled our workforce about our new Dynamic Wages™️initiative, and 100% of remaining employees agree!”
Cool, so you’re an employee owned cooperative now?
“would you be comfortable with not being paid”
would you be comfortable with a worker whose productivity may vary from week to week or month to month?
As long as there’s a contracted minimum and advanced scheduling its fine. I don’t think this is what they’re asking.
Correction: Livable contracted minimum. I understand there are exceptions for tipped and comission gigs, I feel like they are not ok if it lowers the baseline pay below the minimum wage (which needs to be ratcheted up anyway).
