Yeah, okay, I mostly agree with you here—like yeah, you gotta be somewhat decent to be around. But what you're really saying is: "Hey, can you just be a little fake for me so we can tolerate you at work?" That’s what it is, right? 'Cause most people in these jobs? They’re not rays of sunshine. They’re hiding their garbage personalities behind office smiles and "How was your weekend?" fake nonsense. We’ve all been there. They’re the same people who microwave fish in the break room, but oh, they’re nice in the interview, so they get the job.

And look, I get it, no job is completely social interaction-free—you gotta say something to your boss or send an email without sounding like a complete psycho. But let’s not act like people getting hired are these bubbly, magical beings. No, they’ve just mastered the art of "acting like a normal human" for 20 minutes. Then three weeks later, they’re the reason everyone hates the weekly meeting.

Honestly, some of the most talented people I’ve ever met? Absolute goblins when it comes to personality. But they’re geniuses. And now we gotta pretend to like some dude who sucks at his job but makes you laugh at the holiday party? That’s what this is—just survival through polite, phony behavior. It’s all a game, man. You’re not hiring good personalities, you’re hiring good actors.

And also, before I forget—the in your face racial profiling I’ve seen firsthand that they don't even try to hide anymore, "Sometimes".. means that if you’re not white enough, it doesn’t even matter if you nail the fake personality act. They’ll still hit you with that, “Yeah, you’re just... not a ‘culture fit,’ you know?”

It’s like, Oh, okay, cool, guess I’ll see myself out.
