    everywhere is also incentivized to make the process as bad as possible so people aren’t casually switching jobs when one presents intolerable conditions

    It’s also probably to disincentivize applications period, the HR nuts will come up with every excuse otherwise but the real reason for all the job application hoops to jump through is because HR fuckers hate actually doing their dammed jobs and intentionally make the process as hard and annoying as possible so they don’t have to look through as many applications.

    Hahaha holy fuck I’m glad I work in construction right now. If an interview started out like this I would be totally fine telling people off.

    I saw a story posted on the internet, take it for what it’s worth.

    Boss boasts that he told people coming for the interview to come to the office at 9 am, and then waited for hours until all but one left. He claimed he wanted to hire someone with patience. The commnets said he wanted to hire someone desperate and spineless.

      weird - I tried that and got right in, no questions, no tests, no urinalysis, just a “show up here at x time for onboarding”. I lasted all of 4.5 days though. my ankles and knees couldnt take it.

        It’s funny, I live in a red state, I see a TON of job ads on Indeed for Amazon drivers for my city and they all have drug tests, but when you look at the same jobs listed in the largest (slightly more left) city in my state you see straight up in the title of the job posting “marijuana not tested for!” I’m so ready to be done with this draconian shit.

        Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised. I applied a decade ago at a drinks distributor and they had a long as hell question and answer section that I swear was an IQ test.

    I remember being in highschool and applying to a walmart at an automated kiosk. The stupid thing made me take one of those personality tests. I didn’t get the job. Phew.
