LinkedIn is an extension to a corporate life - That's why everyone sounds so fake

[isaacsapphire]

God, at least the responses all find this creepy and inappropriate.

"Toxic Positivity" is another phrase that gets bandied about so much that the whole of us forget what shapes our tongues need to make to form the right sounds.

Toxic positivity isn't smiling through tears or stiffing that upper lip, it's not hearing "the sun will come out tomorrow" on the old warped record player in your head or making jokes after a tragedy. At worst, those things are naivety and at best they're Hope.

If you want to see Toxic Positivity, capitalized and omnipresent, just to see what it looks like, go to any job recruiters' page on LinkedIn. It's a landscape made of rictus smiles and worn down manifestations; each profile is a shiny altar to a god that won't acknowledge it's been abandoned.

unpopular opinion but being able to perform well under pressure should not be a required skill for the majority of job applications if not all. why are we normalizing putting stress and anxiety on people who try to make a living and making them think having to work under pressure is something that is "challenging and good" (hence it takes skills to be able to do so) instead of something that the companies should fix?

Me waiting in the interview room knowing full well I'm not gonna get the job because I'm slightly less hireable then the next person and the manager wants the best for a menial minimum wage stationary position at a fast food place.

Nobody wants to work anymore

“When women enter any field in great numbers, the status of the field itself is lowered. The men who are in it leave it; the men looking for work will not enter it. When men leave a field, they take its prestige with them; when men enter a field, they bring prestige to it. In this way, the subordination of women to men is perpetuated even when women work for a wage and no matter what work women do.”

Things I look forward to when I finally permashift/respawn

• I honestly look forward to not stressing over if I have a job or not because in this reality, why is the economy so atrocious??? Like damn so I'll truly be happy knowing that I don't have to work because I'll either be a nepo-baby or literally have unlimited money that I can manage through my LIFA app and even myself. One of my biggest motivations to get to my waiting room is this essentially and to experience my other realities waiting for me :')) just a small rant for today y'all this reality is horrific!

“We’ve decided to move forward with other Popes at this time.”

I love that my able bodied friends are helping me find a job but they really don’t realise that I need a job that won’t make my health worse, I used to work in hospitality and retail, I have since I was 16 but I physically can’t anymore. I struggle to stand up for more than 20 minutes without feeling like I’m going to pass out and i can’t walk without my walking stick on a good day. And they all keep on sending me waitress jobs or runner jobs or other jobs where I have to be active and do physical things for an 8 hour shift.

The job market is genuinely so shit rn (especially outside of cities) but having to take into consideration what I can actually do, it narrows down the jobs I can realistically do and it’s so frustrating seeing all my friends have careers and the money to start their own lives without having to lean on people for the most basic necessities
