So yeah title says it all, currently around 8 months into a new hospital position and I've been extending my feelers out and doing job apps and got back invites to the start of preliminary interviews for some other jobs (mainly cuss there is likely going to be no significant pay raises for all us new hires until 2 years out so fuck that).

Bring this up to parents though and they have the weirdest attitude as though I'm betraying my company as well as shooting myself in the foot even though if I got some of these positions I'm interviewing for I'd see a huge pay bump and really good benefits (one of them is a state gig and has a damned good pension plan with only 5 years to be vested fully).

Btw, job resumes are bullshit. People don't think about them much because it seems common sense. They kinda are, but the bullshit part isn't having your contact info and a few job titles you held in the past. That's basically fine. Even putting numbers for coworkers or ex-bosses is probably fine to verify people did something. The problem is... the whole "other shit" part of it. How it needs to be formatted in way to tingle the brain of a moron in HR (not sorry HR people- you know what you are. I rip my brother's HR ass all the time). How people "care" or it's considered "bad" to take a year off or even years off. Like how you have to explain that. W H Y? Why does any human get to ask and why does anyone have to feel compelled to answer that question? "Because this system sucks donkey cocks and I took a year to chill at my parents and paid them by cutting the grass and cleaning up dog shit. Why the fuck do you care, you're gonna make as much off me whether I slaved away for that year or not." Resumes are absolutely the result of petty-tyrants in HR having far too much influence and I don't give a shit what anyone says.

This. As far as work goes, I could forgive all of the boomer shit. All of it. If they weren't so damn picky and refused to hire people. If they didn't just assume everyone is superhuman and will get a decade of experience out college, or that they're okay with training people. It would be one thing If I was applying to be a doctor or something where that education and background experience are required, but porky treats every job like you're applying to be a doctor.
