Companies asking for GPA are sorta ageist. How is ANYTHING you did 20+ years ago relevant? In college we created ads using scissors and glue. There was no internet. I feel angry when I see a gpa req.

Most finance and tech companies do so for bragging rights. Im trying to move to client side but there are questions that I can’t answer and aren’t at all relevant to the jobs im applying for. Like essays at some places...but i am a project manager. Why do you need an essay about my childhood dog or some shit.

But what is it? Is it a real workplace?

Tell them the GDP of Belize instead. And when they say “I don’t see how that’s relevant” call them acronymists, flip over a desk and storm out.

Just saw this with Abercrombie in addition to GPA

Its hard to be positive nowadays in any work. When I joined IT industry i thought in IT we will not have politics and shit but its there. Ppl dont want to work together. They just want to keep their power. They achieve something and they wanna keep it anyhow. Its really sad. You wanna work with your open heart but ppl above you wont let it because in the end their position will be in danger. Why would be in danger? You know stuff, you have knowledge, you can grow more and more. Right??
