I want to get into cybersecurity. I am willing to learn about it and do the job effectively. My dumbfuck cornfed manager said they want to make sure i have a "passion" for it. No, i will not think about cybersecurity day and night like i'm in love with it, you dumb fuck middle manager.

I automatically avoid job posts with this. As well as the we are a family and work-life balance bs.

this is actually at my current job, when i talked about changing roles and how i would do that. IT certifications? sure, makes sense. but then the dipshit said the word passion. if someone can do the job who gives a fuck about passion? middle managers.

personally i don't have the luxury of avoiding any job posts and i know the right answers to give them and just do that. once on the job I do agitate, educate and organize, though. the thing is, though, I also DID have a passion for my job for many years but over the years its gotten harder to really enjoy it like I used to when I was younger. I still find personal and hobby projects fun, though and get excited by tech but getting excited about being exploited is just much harder these days, even if the pay and benefits are 2-5 times better than what my friends are making.

Lol. Not really. But I gave up on what I went to school for. I hate marketing.
