Where the hell are all of the jobs? (hexbear.net)

Not really talking about the current job situation, but do you ever notice how there are no postings for really obscure positions that definitely exist but are never posted anywhere? I feel like David Graeber would have a lot to say

I had a fucking interview for a IT support specialist position at one of the school districts here and the next day was told I didn't get the job. Suddenly right after that the IT support assistant role opened up. They clearly both hired the assistant for the specialist position and also wasted my goddamn time.

3 weeks ago I had an interview for another IT position that I felt like I nailed. They said I would know by that Friday. I still haven't heard anything. Supposedly they had a few people reschedule. They wanna consider the people who can't stick to a pre-decided time...

Have an interview in limbo currently while we try to figure out if I can work for the direct competitor of my last employer even though the job is completely different.

Had an interview yesterday that I think went ok but not great. $18-22 an hour and no 401k matching. Asked me if I could start right now and told them sure. And my stupid fucking ass is gonna take it if they offer it to me. It's literally half of what my last job paid.

I'm 40 years old and have been fucking doing this charade for the last 20 years because I can't hold a job because I'm neurodivergent and that doesn't matter to the corporate overlords.

Just fucking fuck man...
