    Thank you.

    People who post shit like this seem to think the streets are littered with such a rich variety of job offers that we can pick out the best ones like we’re shopping for avocados, completely oblivious to the fact that the vast, vast majority of us need a job right fucking now to survive, and are going to happily snag the first offer we get no matter what evil fuck it’s for.

    Remember post COVID how people were quiet quitting and CEO's were talking about how workers had too much power?

    I remember.

    If your argument is that this is good advice, mine is that it’s only good advice for someone who has the luxury of putting it into practice.

    Let me make sure my family has a home and won’t starve, and then I’ll happily join you on your quest to improve corporate culture.

    I've been there, too. I ignored warning signs because I was desperate, and then wished I hadn't later. Saying that you will accept any job that comes your way is a good route to getting fucked over.

    You might think that you need the money, but it really isn't worth it when you lose your job a week later and your temp agency won't answer your calls anymore. There are some crazy, toxic workplaces out there.

    You're right. Better to lick the boot. Don't even think about saying anything that might even be slightly uncomfortable, just accept what they let you have and be happy, right? Fuckin scab

    You’re talking mostly to Americans here- what else do you expect?

    I'm an American. I'm kicking fascist ass every single day. And every pansy crying about how "it's too hard" has no idea how hard things are really gonna get if they keep taking it lying down.

    Unless you're an American, and unless you're fighting too, shut the fuck up. No one needs to hear from you.

    If licking boots is the only thing keeping someone alive, maybe don't berate them for licking boots. It must be really nice living rent free in your mom's house but many of us have to choose between having jobs or being homeless

    Incorrect.

    If licking boots is the only thing keeping someone alive, they have ZERO excuses not to fight back.

    Jesus Christ. Listen to yourself. "The only thing keeping someone alive" means the alternative is death. Do not fucking tell people that they have no excuse not to fight back when fighting back kills them.

    We're talking about employers being dirtbags here. This cause is not worth dying on the streets because you can't hold down a job. You serve your species better by tolerating minor transgressions so you can more meaningfully fight against the larger ones. Any individual donating $5 to charity is helping mankind infinitely more than you will if you intentionally bomb every job interview to the point where you have to survive on said charity.

    Every day, more posts from Americans revealing that they never believed the bullshit “values” their country’s been dining out on for 200 years.

    Nice projection, loser. I paid off my mortgage on the house i didn't inherit and now I support my wife, a child, and two dogs on a business I built.

    You're a little cry baby piss ant boot licker, and nobody asked or cares what you think.

    The “elite” don’t have any more power than what you give them. At the very least, shut the fuck up if the only thing you can think to say is negative, defeatist garbage.

    If nobody ever questioned anything, nothing would ever change. Be the change you want to see, and stop shitting on people for actually standing up for something.

    I don't think they're shitting on anyone, just acknowledging that this is a very good way to not get a job

    And if everyone maintains that mentality, then nothing will ever change.

    To be clear, that "mentality" is not wanting to die starving on the streets

    No, that mentality is subservience.

    I love that you're offended because of my comment about me not having job opportunities.
    Social media in a nutshell, tbh.

    Maybe not everything is about you, hmmm?

    It behooves you to ask the interviewer some questions, too. It helps to give you an idea about whether or not you want to work there.

    There were definitely times when I had a bad interview, I still got the job, and I wished that I hadn't. Don't ignore warning signs because you're desperate! Sometimes it's better to have no job at all.

    For the people that can't afford not to take the crappy job, sometimes it's best to just take it but keep looking for something better. Not everybody has money in the bank to be picky about employment.

    Not sure about you, but I don't think having no job would be good for me.

    Don't be so sure. Honestly, even if this question would have made me feel uncomfortable in the moment, I can tell you that it would elevate my opinion of any candidate I was interviewing because it's actually a very thoughtful but also important thing to consider. I actually can't recall at the moment anybody ever asking something like this in any interview I've done -- normally it's the basic stuff like "do you like working here" or "can you walk me through your typical day" kind of questions.
