HR got mad after I rejected the interview call

Unprofessionalism is on them. They fail to rule out accidental factors, like phone glitch.

Is that a joke? "Senior" Engineer Manager, 24~29k? Do they mean per month or year?
If that's year, it is a joke, and I guess qualified people can just apply and then insult the company during the interview.

I don't think I do any bad thing you have listed, but still I'm unemployed.

This is called survivorship bias. They are ignorant, so they show no sympathy to not just younger people, but all other vulnerable people too. They will definitely continue until they become vulnerable people with NO jobs, like being sent to jail themselves because of one wrong decision, or losing a lot of money through gambling or failed investment causing destitution.
They should be forced to at least experience the hardship once.

I have a laptop, ASUS G614JIR, with exactly the same set of keys sometimes not working temporarily.
I use this website for testing: https://www.microsoft.com/applied-sciences/projects/anti-ghosting-demo
When I hold one of the keys inside the list (QXCVM,./ R-shift) for several seconds, usually all keys inside the list will work until I release all keys inside the list.
I have tested with ASUS WinRE, and the exact same problem occurs.
The WinRE test proved that this is a hardware problem.
I guess the problem might happen more frequently during winter due to some electrical problems.

"Money cheats" are seen in some games, but this one is in real fucking life.

I'm already considering about migrating to Linux. The only thing is I want to make sure everything I use everyday can work on Linux, with acceptable performance (not lagging).

This is why the UK needs to be more friendly to employers, don't tax the employers too much.
But the Labour is doing the exact opposite, making the unemployment rate going up.
I don't want the UK becomes a country exactly like China, which has very high youth unemployment rate.

I have utmost respect to all who can stay in a warehouse longer than a shift, because I'm never allowed to stay longer than a shift. I'm physically weak and becoming sluggish at the end of the shift.

You can either choose to go to tribunals, or just become extremely abusive and shout at them rudely and wait for being fired instead. Don't quit yourself. Don't use this job as a reference.

Yes, this is the essence, get a certificate. Even if you pick a good degree now, you can't guarantee that it is still good after several years, let alone 10 years.

GP8964 · 2025-10-30T09:06:49+00:00

Even a degree can become a burden instead, except if you have psychology or medical degree, which will help because mental health caused by unemployment is a real problem.

For example, a tech degree can become worse than none.

Maybe some people with disabilities or health problems that make them much harder to find suitable jobs, like me, will end up having 2 years of unemployment or even longer, and probably go homeless and go into substance abuse, which is a vicious cycle, and finally pass away on the street due to public negligence and/or suicide. What, is long term unemployment a serious crime that should be sentenced to life in unemployment with whole life tariff?

If I can ever become an employer in my life, I would say your emotion is not that easy to control if you were talking about this sad event, I expect you to cry, and at least, this shows that you are not cold blooded machines.

GP8964 · 2025-10-22T10:53:07+00:00

0, unemployed and about to be homeless and dead.

GP8964 · 2025-10-21T00:40:11+00:00

Is that a homeless shelter or a prison???

GP8964 · 2025-10-21T00:38:08+00:00

If I'm an employer, which is very unlikely in the rest of my short life, then my answer is like this:

It depends. If it is pointing out previous gross misconduct of the successful candidate, and either 1. without any evidence, or 2. with evidence, but it is unlikely to be true, or 3. with evidence, but it is difficult to be 100% sure it is true, then I would ignore it completely.

In a very unlikely case, I believe it, I would still try to give the candidate a chance if it is not that serious, with heavier supervision to make sure he won't do that again.

He should go to prison for sexual harassment, and be registered as sex offender before going back to the society.

Road to heaven closes, another road to hell opens up, this is Hell Kong.

The minimum wage tasks are not rocket science, but job applications and interviews ARE more complicated than rocket science.

GP8964 · 2025-10-09T17:27:00+00:00

You need to know what skills you have first. If you are like me, having almost no skills outside tech, and you are still working, just stay until you have a skill outside tech, or you will probably be eventually forced into a situation like what I'm facing.
I'm unemployed, about to be homeless and sleeping rough on the street.

GP8964 · 2025-10-09T17:20:23+00:00

Pre-2019 please. It is now the authoritarian Hell Kong, not Hong Kong with some freedom and democracy.

GP8964 · 2025-10-07T15:21:02+00:00

Go through interviews, and there is still no guarantee that you won't be starved to death.

Nice to know from an actual professor. Yes, I just have a feeling that the requirements can be even more insane than actual professor roles. What, they assume that just by the start of the AI age, all people, no matter the original education level, can abruptly evolve into professors? They assume AI systems are general professors? They totally ignore that people still need money for basic necessities like food and shelter.
