I used to feel that way too before I landed my current role. Don’t give up. Easier said than done I understand, especially when you feel like you’re at the bottom. I don’t know your situation, but believe in yourself and know that tough people last, not tough times. If it’s feasible, start looking into business for yourself. Now that I’m getting paid again that’s exactly what I’m using my money to do.

Because it is. No one has manners or empathy so they’ll just ghost you out of nowhere. And everyone interviewing knows we NEED the job so there’s the humiliation aspect because you’re expected to “perform” for the job.

Yes, a total humiliation ritual is about the extent of it. It's very much an employer's market, and since they have the upper hand with so many people looking for work, they feel no need to treat people courteously. That may change in time, and hiring managers will have to learn some basic manners, which will be an interesting challenge for them.

It didn’t used to be like this, coming from a creative with a 20+ year career, agencies and all. I think the horrific wage gap expansion between top leadership and hands-on workers over the past 20 or so years, plus the tech industry blowing up before policy could catch up to it, really gave the resulting bloated leadership the time and space to be obnoxiously picky and flaky. Maybe some Reaganomics and late stage capitalism thrown in there too. I feel so sorry for the talented and deserving recent grads. This is why I’ve been going through staffing agency recruiters more lately, if I can’t get a personal contact referral. They expedite the extra interview process for creatives with their developed relationships with clients. But of course you gotta be careful with them too.

It’s a tech-driven byproduct of the massive shift towards accountability-free digital communication over the last couple of decades. People aren’t people anymore - they’re pixels on a screen that you don’t have to invest in or feel any responsibility towards.

The swamping of roles by applicants is a separate tech-driven issue that’s not behavioural.

Gift ideas for GF dad? We have been dating a year and a half, I get along with him super well. He is dealing with some medical complications so isn’t to active at the moment but loves cooking and golfing. He is one of those guys who already has everything he needs, and they are super wealthy so I feel bad getting him any clothing or accessories knowing it wouldn’t be as nice as the things he wears, although I know he doesn’t expect anything and would genuinely appreciate anything I got him

“Job hopper” and “quiet quitting” are all schemes made up by boomers to make you think everything is the employees fault. When in reality people are just getting out of bad situations. Older companies do whatever they can to pay you the least amount and get the max work out of you. Except our generation will just leave amid we’re being mistreated, not complain for 35 years making 50k and 0 advancement.

Im working at a big multi-product company and we're having 5 dedicated product teams, however, teams are working in silos. Each team's has its own process, design system, technology etc. We identified that most of the teams use and need components that were already conceptualised, designed and developed, for our other products, and we are starting to create a global set of components, a global design system that we will use on all our products. What is your approach?
