Not just on the Americas side of the pond, apparently.

I'm applying for dozens and dozens of jobs right now in the UK, so I expect to get plenty of rejection emails, but today, Monday, two days before Christmas, 11 rejection emails so far, which is a record (I'm not upset, I am aware I will get far more rejections than interviews). Obviously people are working like crazy to get everything done right before Christmas, but I thought at least the UK was more relaxed on this stuff. You really couldn't wait until January to send out rejection emails? Gotta grind right up to Christmas?

Company Objective: Pay minimum, Gain maximum work

My Objective: Gain maximum pay, work minimum

You know how a country has their country prioritized? (eg: "America First") Well I have a similar idea: "Me First". Fuck the company. They are maximizing their profits, I'm gonna maximize my profits.

Sounds like someone who's really, really bad at managing their time 🤷‍♂️

This is a ticket to being seen as insufferable.

Pay me as little as you can get away with and I will work as little as I can get away with.

Actually, guys, boots are super tasty and licking them is very cool.

This gives big "Brian Johnson is a working class hero" vibes.

It wants you to be a janitor?

Even if you work at one of the rare unicorns where hard work is rewarded with raises and promotions, hard work has nothing to do with working extra hours. Fuck off with this "You need to be the first one in and last one out" shit.

When you have nothing in you life but your job, are you even living at all? At the very least not a life that is worth living IMHO

If you want to play it that way: let me count my 2 hour commute through standstill traffic as paid hours.

Idk what's more upsetting: the fact that I was called out as a slacker. Or this slacker waited 6 months to post this... Either way, where both in the same boat... I feel called out.

[–] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 days ago

Lol what a brown noser

[–] nimble@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 3 days ago

I have work ethic.

If work pays me the bare minimum then i will match them in-kind. It's only fair.
