I suspect that since a quarter of my fellow co-workers got the pink slip a few weeks ago, tat I too will get one soon. I haven’t updated my resume in a while and would love if there was a self hosted LinkedIn alternative or something. Anyone got any idea if that’s a thing yet?
It will never be a thing. The capitalists would never allow it. Also HR professionals are like, the lowest level of teeeechnically undergrad-level educated communications majors. They’re not going to fuck with some activitypub shit. These people are barely smart enough to not drown in the rain.
Could be a thing among FOSS projects
ok, but what about the selling point for recruitment firms that “you don’t need to pay $190 a month to unlock Sales Navigator Advanced for each of your recruiters”? or is that perhaps a feature, sorting out the weeds who can’t afford the monthly fee?
$190/month tax deducted is NOTHING for a firm making $30k/role filled at the bottom end. You don’t really care about those kinds of low-level tax deductible expenses while you’re profitable. This is why no businesses switch to LibreOffice on cost grounds, even though it’s fine and saves hundreds per year per seat on a contract for Office.
I know one smart recruiter. She is so refreshing to work with.
And remember these are the same people handling all your personal info on the computer :)
At least mine knows how to password protect emails…and then sends me the password in a separate email. Its not a fail, but I wouldn’t call it a success either.
I got my company to start using bitwarden. That was a huge step and 1/4 of the company forgot their password in the first 60 days. I sent a big email detailing how to make a mnemonic device with a passphrase that bitwarden generates 😂 complete with photoshop drawings on one i generated. no forgotten passwords since
How many set their password to your example? They just look up the password when they forget.
Its cool you got them using bitwarden, I should probably get my company to switch, I know there’s a PDF company account passwords floating around…but I’m pretty low on the totem pole.
Well, I didn’t think anyone would be dumb enough to do that, but you might be right…
I am also very low. I just pretty much let someone else take credit for it so that it would actually be taken to management.
As an HR professional, that’s just incredibly hurtful to read. I’m really sorry you had that experience, which is making you generalize a whole a set of people based on what they are working on. And it’s also bad to see a lot of people just jumped on the hate train and upvoted it.
This level of armchair negativity contributes nothing to the conversation.
That’s true most of the time. It’s like the parking lot for some low level managers and the likes. And nobody usually cares until they find issues in their payslips.
As a worker with real skills, I stand by my judgement of you leeches.
I was not expecting to change your opinion instantly. I’m sure you have real experiences backing up your sentiments.
Still I hope you get this same feedback from other places, and realize that the world is usually not black and white, bad and good… and you’re actually welcomed to develop more sophisticated views of things and people around you.
It’s all easy and cozy to think in extremes, but it will get you nowhere as a person.
Wow, you’re deep!
