      the problem not mentioned here, is the average person does not just have money lying around for a lawsuit
      sure theyre breaking the law and doing illegal things but they can shut down anyone who tries to sue them because they have that much money
      the only way for something like this to be done is a class action lawsuit, and nobody in the general public benefits as much as they should from class actions lawsuits. all the money goes to the prosecution lawyers.

    I have a disability that makes me unable to do many forms of work as I require my service dog who alerts me to potentially dangerous changes in my condition, and I have been trying to get a job since I left high school nearly 7 years ago...7 years of constant rejection because employers do not want to accommodate my disability. And the worst part is: I have ALSO been rejected from receiving Social Security Disability income THREE TIMES! Why? I "have not paid into social security," which means I have never had a paycheck... because I've never job... because I'm disabled... I literally can't get the governmentally assigned money for people too disabled to work because I am too disabled to work...

      They so deserve to be shut down not only for setting that expectation on their recruits, but also making it a _requirement_ to fill in on an online application survey. Better yet, people should just fill in what the recruiter wants to see, then arrive to the interview putting on the thickest foreign accent they possibly can, even if they are born American, just to waste their time.

      If it is any consolation, I'm a very extroverted person with a background that required me to develop my social skills very highly and that still wasn't enough for some asshole managers. They will find a way to say there's something wrong with your voice and body language. I've turned down jobs because of this, it communicates to me they can't be trusted when I have a real problem I need to report. In my experience, aggressively forced polite people treat conflict and problems as pathological. So when you bring something to them that needs to be worked on or fixed, they lash out at you.
      Also I suggest you read the book Nonviolent Communication. And in general, practice reading out loud and writing. In the privacy of your own room, write about anything and practice giving it as a speech without focusing on every detail or how you do it. You'll get more comfortable with your own way of communicating and this will help with how people perceive you.

      Start lying on your resume. They don't have a right to know anything about you and you aren't required to put yourself at risk being honest. Craft a resume specifically for each job. Delete any job gaps and say you're currently employed (even if you're not). Get friends/family to be your references and also get friends/family to pretend to be a reference, if needed. In most jobs, the actual job is different from what's stated in the job posting. Getting a job is not about being the best pick for the job. It's about making an idiot feel like you're the best pick for the job.

    • @masterkevkev
      @masterkevkev 7 місяців тому +8

      Mostly due to the time, legal fees (not just paying legal things like lawyers or courts, but the fees of living, eating, transportation, etc - whilst attempting to do this), and how 99% of the time they can just spin it off something. Unless you got hard evidence from a direct email or phone call (recorded/traced) by the CEO or something of "No, I won't hire you because you're [this race] and [this sex]" - you're basically screwed. They can turn it around and simply say "We denied [you] because [x] person got the job and the slots were filled but we didn't want to [hurt your feelings text here]. You were [something over/under-qualified], we looked into [some bullshit excuse], and you also signed [this or that] which lets us deny you over [some past incident that wouldn't even get you fired from working as the bodyguard for the damn president]."
      But lawyers could make a damn killing if they just started advertising like "Did you get denied over racism, sexism, or [anything else illegal]? Contact us. We'll pay the legal fees, and sue for you" or something like that - they'd get some cash in this trash of an economy.

      You aren't wrong though. The "state of things" you're being force-fed is just a narrative conveniently fabricated by upper classes to keep their employees "in check". They want to control the industry to make the people working under them feel like they're powerless and having no choice but to play along by their rules. It's easily forgotten that _we're_ the foundation that helps build their corporate empires, and without us they would crumble to dust. Divided we beg, united we bargain - that is how it's always been. Unions should exist in every corporation for that very reason, and any that denies it or retaliate through worsened working conditions should be promptly forced out of business.

    I applied for a job I was massively overqualified for that voluntarily opted into the UKs “disability confident scheme ” which means they guarantee an interview for disabled candidates that meet the bare minimum requirements. They said they had too many candidates so they wouldn’t stick to their word.
    Later I had an interview for an even lower seasonal job as FOH and the interview was so strange. There was two contracts to choose from one union and one non-union, they made us do a group presentations on sales promotions they should hold at their bar during various events and then they had 5 interviews at a time in one foyer and I was to distracted by another candidate loudly freaking out to answer properly. I got interviewed by a bar manager because another candidate stole my slot. I in no was signed up to working a bar job (I’d do one just wasn’t warned)

I can show what i can do instead of being beaten up constantly about education and experience. Probably make in the lower middle income level. But hey it's better then being rejected for every application I went to school for.

    The bioscience one sounds like a job I applied to that would have worked with lab rodents and I was told I wasn't eligible since I have a snake that eats rodents. It is because the spread of disease/viruses as the animals are kept in contained conditions and highly sensitive to anything spread to them.

    I remember everyone telling me how great linkedin is and how I'll easily get a job through linkedin. So I made an account, posted my resume, made it clear that I do not have a driver's license nor a car. The ONLY three hits I got which weren't from any of the places I applied to, were people who wanted someone with a car and driver's license to drive from store to store to set up displays. Not someone to be a passenger and help another worker do it, no they wanted me, who had it marked for all to see that I neither owned a car nor driver's license, to have a car and drive from place to place alone. Haven't touched linkedin since. Didn't need it for my current job either.

If it is in any way similar to the one I applied for, perhaps it’s because the work is primarily conducted on genetically engineered rodents that could be affected by disease that you bring from home pets (either rodents/similar prey animals or predators that would eat things like frozen or live rodents at your home)?

      There are very few situations where this wouldn't be considered discrimination. Even the situation you described could be considered discrimination depending on exact circumstances. Support workers are an example where you would often want a specific gender, especially where personal hygiene is involved. But I can't see any reason a data analyst would need to be specifically female

  • @spots6450
    @spots6450 7 місяців тому +2

    Yeah, that last one is totally because they will be working with rodents and as such cannot be in contact with them outside of work to reduce the risk of infecting the animals at work. This includes dead ones thus snakes and birds of prey being on the list - though they may also be on the list because their smell might linger on the person and then stress out the animals at work. Pretty standard biosecurity question.

    That last question about rodents and rodent-eating animals is likely in an application to a lab or somewhere where rodents are bred. It's a risk for spread of disease if employees have the same animal as those they work with. Likewise, you shouldn't have chickens at home if you work with live poultry, either meat chickens or egg layers.

  • @Skyte100

    I'd say its fine for companies to offer low wages if its actually inexperienced like fastfood or retail with no experience in that field. But if they got a degree, even just a couple years in the area then they are worth way more than those peanuts these people offer.
    Same thing for not pushing for raises. If its your first job, haven't been there long, don't expect to be there long, or for some reason are content with your pay then its fine to not push. Otherwise get what you're worth or leave.

Absolutely nothing. From looking at the title you would assume it to be a video on that topic (a collection of tweets that were sent and immediately regretted), but it’s not). If you’re trying to get us to guess what the subreddit is based on the title? Well, that’s not going to get people’s attention anymore, and you’re doing it wrong anyway.

    like imagine having to stream 50 4k 30fps movies to like 100 people.
    the average developer will fail that because of how much 4k is in size and to stream is to take that whole thing into ram.

    That last bioscience one isn't unusual really. Even in college when I was doing some zoology courses I got asked what animals I had. It may not even be diseases persay being worked on, but a chance of spreading things to your pets or the animals in the study is a big concern. Not only that but things like scents of similar animals can effect study results. Gotta keep things as clean as possible! Judging by the posted requirements my bet is they will be working with some reptiles. The scent of prey can cause issues, as can the scent of rivals, and predators. Could also be rodent studies which also apply. Science can have some strict standards for study results and peer review.
