For sure, and even though I know that I have to put myself first I still hate lying and I feel like im being forced to. This is apparently what is expected of us for certain jobs now. It's quite aggravating!
Thanks to my wife I've come to learn that I probably have ADHD. I never would have realized it on my own, but it's so obvious when someone points it out. If she has an extra cup of coffee she is buzzing and shaking for hours, whereas its basically a sedative to me. I can drink a whole pot and still pass out on the couch for a mid day nap lol.
Oh man story time, I just went through this yesterday.
I applied for a government job posting. I have 8-years experience in this particular role, and I've trained hundreds of coworkers for the job — I'm a dream applicant. They request in the posting that I read through their department's rubric on their values and cater my cover letter to it (e.g., demonstrate examples of showing service excellence, sound judgment, creative problem solving, yadda yadda yadda). Takes me an hour or two of what feels Iike writing a college thesis.
I get an offer to advance in the interview. I book off an hour of work for the first round of the interview, lying that it was a Doctor's appointment; then, I come to find it was actually a mandatory presentation asking people to not apply for the job unless they "really want it" because it's emotionally difficult. I consider it a waste of MY time.
Second round they offer me to take their '2-hour virtual exam', only offering it during business hours. I lie to my boss again and attend the session. After showing up on time, waiting for the Microsoft teams invite and getting nothing, I email the talent acquisition person: they are out of office.
The following Monday the lady is back in office, emails me, and offers me another virtual exam slot: 4 hours from now, again during work hours, and again requiring me to request time off from my current job.
Wtf? Is there another stage after the exam? An interview? How ridiculous have job searches gotten where we are expected to jump through endless hoops to satisfy prospective employers. Nobody has time to do this for every single frigging job they apply for.

Or you say fuck it and send the comment, but you refresh the page and he's downvoted it faster than a human being could have read it lol
Americans in a literal fascist state be like: This is literally fascism
they’re trapped in a Cassandra‑like tautology: forewarning what has already come to pass
Maybe US car manufacturers could, y'know, make their own compact trucks? 😀
Even if Microsoft, Apple, et al, drop the 'inescapable integrated AI assistant' bullshit in their OS' it's almost a guarantee that they will forever reside in some hidden background service quietly sending off reports. The temptation for them is too great, and the legal consequences are nil.
Reason # 3,487 to get off/stop paying attention to X, the 'everything app'.
It's so funny to me when I express an even remotely moderate opinion and get called a right-winger. Lol, is lemmy really where right-wingers would go for online discourse?
This may be specific to my sector (government), but every job posting requires a highly detailed cover letter that addresses numerous specific criteria outlined in some departmental rubric. It takes forever and requires sifting through verbose, corporate-slop documents to grasp their internal jargon and values, etc etc
