I like how Anne Hathaway is used for corporate HR memes.
Companies are actively selecting for fraudsters and liars.
If they are too stupid to realize this, fuck em, they’ll burn themselves down.
It drives me nuts how they’ll hire absolute buffoons from outside the company instead of promoting people who actually know what’s going on.
C Suite and most of management are so fucking full of themselves, they do not realize how incompetent they are.
For them, its mostly just about feeling big, important and in charge, able to excercize power over their minions, blame them for their own failures.
They’re basically cosplaying as businessmen/women at this point, the actual work is ancillary, the more important thing is the lifestyle, the performance of being better than others, the performance of ‘im an important business leader’.
These morons are broadly comically inept at doing their actual jobs, the things they are ostensibly paid to do. Any objective outside observer could conclude this. These clowns ae just addicted to feeling important, superior, better than you. They forgot what accountability and consequences feel like.
Companies: we can’t find anyone to hire
Their hiring process:
hey give me those all rounder offers, all i’m seeing is “we’re looking for a specialist in marketing in tiktok comments who speaking C2, B1, and A1 in Latin, Ancient Egyptian, and Mayan respectively. 5 years of experience required”
Okay, but you need to be an all a rounder with a deep specialization in DreamWeaver CS4 (which I think is when fireworks compatibility broke and macromedia was finally absorbed)
Edit: should have added: meet everyone on the team in a separate interview, “we think your last job overpaid”, “it’s really close between you and another candidate, can you do one more call?”, senior responsibilities with junior pay, 6 years experience with new tool, we include AI use in performance reviews…
They already had an internal candidate.
That’s mostly a lie companies tell to anybody that will listen so when they announce they’re outsourcing those jobs they can point at it and say that they didn’t have any other choice.
Have you tried applying as a professional Archer landing all of your shots and then being told actually they’re looking for another candidate that better matches their internal preferences. (Whoops! Overqualified and expects to be paid)
If your a professional archer, just blame Lana for everything
Danger zone!
I really should watch the Odyssey; I immediately knew what movie and scene this was from without even having seen the trailer because it lines up so well with what I imagined from reading that scene, that’s often the sign of a very good adaptation.
It is good. There is a certain narrative that isn’t exactly a part of the book but I think is perfectly logical to ascribe without feeling like a different thing, and I think it makes it better. That’s just about the only thing I could see someone not enjoying if they are a huge fan of the book. Well, I was not the biggest fan of Menelaus or Telemachus’ casting either but that’s a nitpick.
I totally reco watching “The Return”
Fiennes take on the bow was awesome.
