Let’s motivate ourselves to leave. I’ve applied for 3 so far and I’m applying for at least one today. How many jobs have you applied for so far?

@1fp my point is nothing makes sense here. Execs are crazy. Try and find a place that appreciates you. Don’t let the b-ms at the top of Wfc dictate your worth.
@1ew I think my prior comment edited “over 2000” to “1” and I didn’t catch it. I have been getting initial interviews, but the attitude shifts as soon as it becomes apparent that I am not neurotypical and I get ghosted afterwards. I have tried practicing seeming neurotypical, but I think there’s always some kind of tell. This job gave me hope that I could have something close to equal access to opportunity to use my years of education and skillset to have a career, independence, and healthcare for a chronically ill body, after I lost hope from not receiving justice when a fellow student in college who felt my existence and my success were offensive to him as--ulted me and my grades slipped from the depression. I can’t work most minimum wage jobs because of my physical limitations. I know I’m supposed to just be happy to be alive, but I worked so hard to have a career and to be able to see the world before my illness got worse. If it comes down to it, I’d rather use my savings to seek out safe, final medical care in a comfortable facility instead of trying to survive on disability and be a living punching bag for people who, for whatever reason, feel empowered by my suffering. Even if it means barely making it to 30.
@1ct layoffs aren’t about finding fault. They are about reducing expenses. If you had bad performance they might try to dismiss you rather than layoff. Many many people with no negatives have been laid off. They are crazy.
- In tech. Laid off from neurodiversity program with no prior warnings or performance issues. About to apply for VAD instead. I’m more likely to be accepted for it.
@br that actually makes a lot of sense. And ironically makes me feel less annoyed about these.
Though I doubt they are solely using it as a screen to confirm identity, I'm sure they're also running your responses through AI and returning some kind of evaluation to the recruiter. That part is still annoying
@bd That little hoop is because AI has allowed offshore folks to masquerade as onshore, leading to US jobs getting hammered with fake applications. It's essentially a DDOS for US job seekers.
So you have to make a video that will match with who they see during the interview.
@ap it's beyond annoying that these have become a thing. At first I was just opting out of these (and sending a polite note saying why I was withdrawing my application), but they're becoming ubiquitous and it's better to just bite the bullet. Incredibly dehumanizing though
The best part of the interview process is the dehumanizing little videos they require you to record before you speak with a human. Are we applying for a job or to be a Twitch stream personality?
@ad Their going to terminate you anyway if they really want.
Most people here don't realize we're already in the endgame. Better to go down swinging and maybe at least get a wrongful termination lawsuit in court than to be the company's slave that exploits your wages/salary.
You have to apply for 5-10 every day to get anywhere.
@a8 this is precisely how you get yourself terminated without severance at WF
Stop being a coward and instead try to be the difference you want to see in your office. Change starts with us as workers, not leadership.
based on my recent experience you will need to apply for hundreds before you maybe get a few interested and actually land one. look me 4 months.
Interviewing for a job is a nightmare right now. I’ve stopped applying until I hear otherwise. If I get canned before then so be it.
The grass is not greener on the other side
