Reminds me of an account where a man applied for a job that required a specific programming language. They were asking for 5 years experience. But the funny thing was that the man himself created that language 3 years ago.
They do this shit on purpose, they can only hire from outside America if they cannot fail “qualified candidates” in the country, so make the qualifications impossible and you can hire a team to do the job over in India for mere pennies on the dollar
Let’s just say there were uh… different criteria for who was and was not allowed to work before the 50s and 60s. Less competition for some.
The unemployed rate in the US was around 8% in 1975
Yeah, there was a huge gap in the experience of a white person and a PoC. Further, the 70s was right on the cusp of stagflation. Not unlike what we feel today.
I’m pretty sure it’s always been easier for a white man to get a job than everyone else…
Replace HR person with the laptop on the desk and you’re probably closer to the truth.
Idk man, I work with some people who have the skills and intelligence of a moldy jock strap, and they get paid very well. One if them just got promoted, but can barely run basic Linux commands. I don’t understand the world sometimes.
People who actually do work, especially in the technology sector don’t get promoted. You get promoted based on popularity
Do they have hobbies/beliefs/sycophantic mannerisms similar to the bosses in charge? Because that’ll get you promoted. A lot of management are lonely people who don’t view others as equals unless they suck up or never argue, thus useless people get promoted so they can hang with “friends” in meetings all day.
Or good old nepotism.
Yup, prior military looking out for each other.
That’s life. I’ll always give a prior service person a bit more grace - at least at some point they volunteered to serve. Plus they are usually team players who can follow simple directions.
I also believe in mandatory state service (civil or military).
I see you perpetuate the problem
Welcome to life - choices actually have consequences.
Choices like what? Having a blind favorable bias towards people who served in the military? The consequences of which, are an incapable workforce that coast through life on past merits. I’ve worked with lots of them and most have a sense of entitlement, but are only mildly capable in the role they’ve been hired for. They have developed this sense of entitlement because people like you give them handouts.
Joining the military helped them get a job.
That was a choice because they sure weren’t drafted. Seems like you didn’t do that and now you’re bitching about how life actually works.I mean, I wish magic was real and/or that the average person wasn’t basically fucking retarded, but I don’t go around crying because wishes aren’t reality.
C’est la vie.
Lucky, these days some filter deletes my resume before a human being even looks at it.
