Why are you unemployed at a time when Pittsburgh restaurants are desperate to hire employees. Our policy is not to hire people who are not currently working at another job.

When they answer their own question immediately after asking it.

    Reminds me of the time someone tried to ask me this sort of shit during a phone interview

    I just went "It's obvious you're just on a power trip and I am not looking to be disrespected, best of luck finding someone who is" and hung up

    I found an article on him, he tried to start a restaurant called ”Shooters” in Pattaya (with a name like that, he was probably overestimating the amount of Amerikkkan boomers in Thailand), then had to come back to the restaurant he originally founded. Must be nice to be rich and always fall upwards.

    Our policy is that small business owners should be put in the pit. Why should we change our policy to not put you in the small business owner pit? Please write a 5-page response and include a video of your response in the form of interpretative dance.

    imagine not lying your ass off to some bozo like that. assuming you're in dire enough circumstances to need the job.

    I would tell this asshole I worked at the White House and had training in the highest standards where I received commendations for 10 years of service. And I only left and moved back to do my part in elevating the community with hard work and grit.

    then, when his back is turned clonk em with a honing rod and rob his ass blind.

    If you ever want a job at these types of places you need to let it shine through that youre hardworking and desperate, aka easily exploitable. A gig at the white house on your resume would be an instant disqualification.

    did I say I wanted a job there? I want to clonk him, take his wallet and bank deposit bag.

    the white house story is to make him pull out his phone and try to confirm some particularly outrageous claims in my story ("They posted a photo of me on the home page to honor me for my service.")

    that's clonkin' time.

    you're probably thinking, how are you going to do this, because the you've only filled out a form online and he's reading it later.

    how indeed! please send $50 to Cashapp M0n3yRiddLer2024 to learn the secrets of high tech robbery.

    You ever manage at a restaurant? STFU. These are all legit questions for that industrial demographic. What’s wrong, you just get fired from your last serving job😂?

    If you have an issue with this questions then you really need some introspection. Who cares? Do you want the job or not? They're easy questions to answer.

    Capitalism maintains a permanent "reserve army" of unemployed as a potential source of scabs, but then will also blame the unemployed for not being employed, as if capitalism was ever a system that advocated for 100% employment (it wasn't).

    This is why everyone should just lie on these types of applications. If everyone lies the sheer amount of bullshit these types will have to sift through will be punishment enough

    Oh, my resume is full of lies. It's ironically for capitalism's own good that we all lie on resumes.

    Employers are some of the most perfectionist nutjobs I can think of. I have plenty in my rural ohio hometown. I tried to wash dishes once and got turned away because "Sorry kiddo, I only hire world-class talent, and you haven't worked before!" Perfectionism is literally a CIA sabotage tactic, yet employer entitlement is so high they voluntarily do it to themselves.

    How to guarantee you'll get the worst possible food service workers you can get. Any cook or server worth their shit would walk away immediately

    Why are you unemployed when Pittsburgh restaurants are desperate to hire

    Because all of you keep telling me "no" when I need a job, that's why.

    Hey, that's me. I'm a mid-twenties stereotypical neckbeard manchild that's trying to undo all the fuckups I did in life, and it's so hard because I am actually applying to places but businesses are just that picky.

    It doesn't help that my family has a history of being a big naysayer for me, something I think I have absorbed because I assume I will fail at every task I try.

    What the hell even got into bosses that made them so picky in the first place?

    How is gen Z supposed to get their first job if everyone only wants to hire "masters" for even internships?

    For anyone that needs to hear this: just lie on your application/resume. Have a friend or two that will confirm you work/worked for them. Same thing with rental applications that want you to show 3x income to rent or whatever. Photoshop up some bank statements or paystubs.
