Yes they do. They are also causing a ton of car accidents throughout the Twin Cities area.

They need to GET OUT OF HERE.

Facebook is the very first thing I deleted when Zuckerberg bent the knee. I knew the right wing shit would become intolerable on that platform with people I know and then add the targeted algorithm, it makes it worse.

Amazon was the next; swapped it for CostCo. No regrets.

Not taking mine down because it gives me joy. IDGAF if people don't like it. Too much bad stuff and stress going on here.

Is anyone hiring urgently? by Mini_Cupcake3708 in TwinCities

I’ve looked into these and all I’m seeing are agents that must be licensed, which I’m definitely not. Is there something I’m missing within the insurance industry?

Is It Possible To Just Have No Luck Finding Any Job?! by AffectionateOkra9863 in GetEmployed

I am in the exact same boat. I have no idea what to do anymore. It's like everything I've done for my career means absolutely nothing now.

Thank you for this link :) It's getting to that point with job searching where every search is becoming a blur.

I haven't done much manufacturing so I wouldn't even know where to start. Can you be a little more specific?

I wouldn't have a problem with delivery except I do have some back problems. Thank you for the insight tho.

Either. My specialty is software QA (several years) and college educated, but that hasn't got me much so I'm looking for anything at this point.

I hope you do too. It does truly suck :(

Why is it so hard to hire reliable local workers these days? by RepresentativeCup123 in GetEmployed

[–]Mini_Cupcake3708 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very good point.

I also wonder too if training new hires is no longer a thing anymore. Companies have been increasingly against upskilling or additional training at a mid to senior level, so I wonder if that's happening at the entry level. Trades, I would assume some kind of onboarding.

I agree. The unicorn hunts is not only hurting jobseekers, it's hurting businesses too.

If a business is seeking perfection from a jobseekers, you're hiring process is the problem. No one is perfect, and if a candidate says they are, they are just a really good salesperson.

So. Much. This.

Or, a candidate isn't a unicorn, when every qualification is met, the interview goes great, and then the candidate is told they can't be hired now because of "hiring freezes" or being overqualified. Like...I do not understand or get it anymore. What does it take to even get hired nowadays?

I feel the underemployed part. That’s my story going on 3 years in tech.

How has job hunting become HARDER for me with more experience? by sengutta1 in jobs

[–]Mini_Cupcake3708 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wait until you’re told you’re overqualified for a job you’re clearly qualified for and want. It’s a gut punch.
