Have you ever applied for a job, then when you follow up for an interview, you are told that the position has already been filled? Itâs either that or they donât even bother to reply.
Do you find that this happens a lot more often than normal? Is it just you, or is something else going on not too far beneath the surface that might not readily cross your mind?
Many companies have a practice of uploading a job posting to your typical search site, but they are not currently hiring for the position. So then why even post if they are not ready to hire?
The most common reason given by news reports covering the topic is that employers want to get a feel of the market just to see how many people are in need.
Although I am certain they must get a giant ego trip out of feeling depended upon for basic human sustenance, the primary reason for them doing so is so they can have an aggregate of potential applicants to pull from in the event of an emergency vacancy within their company.
And while that is understandable, the bait and switch element of that hiring practice poses many undue hardships for job applicants, including but not limited to; applicants feeling like they wasted their time when they could have applied elsewhere, mounting frustration from being unable to differentiate between real and fake ads, it creates the need to compete more intensely than normal often pushing ethical boundaries, especially if you have many little mouths to feed, and last but not least, a deferral of hope that sickens the heart, causing many applicants to give up, the worst of them all, especially if they have been hungrily job hunting for a while now.
The thing to keep in mind is that employers do not care about your needs. They will always act in their own best interest. Perhaps I should say that they will NEVER act in your best interest. They HATE you. If this doesnât prove it, I donât know what will. Why would anyone want to work for an enemy unless they were a sycophantic masochist?
As a sidebar, if you have many little mouths to feed, you really shouldnât be working for anyone. I have literally seen pregnant women get fired in the middle of winter.
This statement is not meant to excuse accountability if someone deserves to get fired, but it simply supports the notion that accountability can be redirected to securing sustainable income outside of employment.
Which is why I keep emphasizing that one must remain resilient and eke out a living based on the gifts one was born with. Imagine how many hurdles you could dodge just by remaining committed to this principle. Imagine how much red tape wouldnât even phase you.
Your world would have been different, and with that new world comes a host of new problems. As bad as those problems might be, getting the runaround and having someone waste your time would not be one of them.
Sending out multiple resumes hoping that at least one of them bites your bait would definitely not be one of them. Not only that, but you would have the necessary resources to put out those much bigger fires whenever they do arise.
There are plenty of amazingly gifted and talented people who are asleep at the wheel. Do you not know who you are? Did you truly believe that nature formed your bodies only for it to be broken by a disgusting bunch of sadistic pigs? Only normies work for other people. Let them fight over crumbs.
Just think that if I had only answered my calling since the time that I had first come of age, I wouldnât even know what a bait and switch job posting is. I wouldnât care, and when I eventually came across the news report, I would have been appalled, unlike now.
That is but one example of all the bullshit you have to deal with when you serve other people in a subservient way. The only benefit that comes from me living in this godforsaken timeline is that I am not naive. If you donât build your dreams, others will hire you to build theirs.
Until next time, adieu.
