OT: OT-what he doesn’t know is this is a buck and a quarter quarter staff

You should see some of the disgusting flavors they have here, spicy chicken feet, chili garlic sardine etc

Oh yea. I am in a chip club so I get offered different types of around the world flavours every month. I see the flavours and I wonder why I’m paying so much because I always skip them. Like some make somewhat sense, like butter chicken, and others you wonder why we haven’t had the second coming of Christ yet, like squid ink and seaweed. Like who is thinking “yea this tastes good (to begin with)” and then thinks “this would be amazing as a potato/corn/rice chip!”?

At least you got a rejection. I stopped counting a while ago. I don't get rejections, I don't get anything. The fake job thing has been an issue for YEARS not months. It's immensely frustrating and I admit that at this point I've given up finding something online or via electronic means. I've been selling personal possessions and doing gig work. Helene and Milton have f***ed me over for earnings over the last three weeks and at this point I don't know why I'm still trying.

Oof. That sounds pretty awful man. I've also been kicking around the idea of selling possessions to supplement. It's pretty nasty out there.

Relationships are a huge factor in getting hired at a lot of companies.

When my wife got her first job at Paychex, it was because a former co-worker reached out. And she told my wife to find some job openings she was interested in and email them to her so her former co-worker could suggest my wife as a candidate. That is not only because she got a recruiting bonus, but that the vast majority of outside hires are suggested by Paychex employees.

And all my applications lately have gotten the form rejection email of "thanks but we are interviewing other candidates" variety.

Thankfully I don't need a new job. But, it is scary to think about what will happen if I do need a new job...

Interesting you say that. Got a text from a former coworker today that the position that supervises him is open and that I should apply. Just finished a few minutes ago. It's not remote at all, unfortunately, which was a big goal for me, but at the low end it would be a couple thousand dollar raise. On the high end of their scale would be about 21k.

My only advice would be don't do what I did.
