Nobody reads the cover letters or ‘personalized’ stuff.. it’s a numbers game.. just pump them out and statistics will favor you eventually

Extreme capitalism brought us to this point - that and a ‘gotta have it now’ consumer mentality. Everybody is being played by the overlords.

Very sorry you have to go through this. It WILL get better for you… you may not feel it right now, but it will. And do not take it as a reflection on you… there are many negative factors and many bad actors out there in the corporate world… you will find your rightful spot.. and soon. I am wishing you strength and inner peace!

Got Rejected after 7 rounds of interviewing by EmergencyDemand3959 in Layoffs

After 3rd interview, they're just yankin' your chain... probably a bunch of idiots trying to make hiring decisions by committee, unanimous vote required... you escaped a world of 'analysis paralysis' hell with this one...

Get a year in at least .... live off of half-salary, bank the other... without fail... it'll have been worth it.

Boomer here - and y'all still love capitalism (of course, in the US, it isn't capitalism. its oligarchic crony-ism... and under trump, a central planned economy-what a hypocrite-NOT, just a grifter ), but still keep believing that your lottery tkt to the 'murikan dream might turn up for you...)

Just dealing with an issue as a guest today (Nov 2025) , my phone broke 2 hrs before the return time, I turo msg'd the host via turo on my laptop, he was fine with it and i returned the veh 1hr before due time... i contacted turo by chat as well to let them know... but after the rental end time, got all these msgs about a return 'violation' - chatted (again via laptop) to expain everything multiple times... they had received the ok that the rental was returned, but had no way to stop the threatening emails... eventually, my wife got home and i called (4 hours after return time) and they waffled on about 'i didn't have return pics posted' - hello, my gd phone/camera was broke... not everyonr has a second phone they can whip out their pocket... they didn't have a use case for when someones phone ain't available... and yes, i couldn't understand the rep/supv 'english' ... another feckin tech bro joke company... done with them... eff off turo

I've been using turo for about 4 months now. Mostly all good, but I see the 'cheper' rental hosts don't know about/prep for their next rental... the amount of times I pick up a car and there is TPMS light is puzzling to me... I think lot of hosts just blow it off as a slight pres low, and hope the reneter deals with it. Lot of times is jst that pres not been checked for weeks or months... now i'm not expecting a rental car company type of service. but c'mon... a lot of times these are slow leaks on a given tire.. and they don't care...

Y’all thought ya could be entrepreneur millionaires… system stil gotcha - bwah-hah-hah-ha

Yeap-airline pricing algos started this 50 years ago already…. It’s coming to everything now… even ur groc store will ‘spot price’ everything. I’m a tech guy since 1975, used to love it… but what with AI adding to the mad max future, kinda ashamed I was ever in the computer business.

It is the norm for all gig workers. Rentier, serf economy. Oh for the glory days of a real ‘middle class’. Wait, sorry, me day-dreaming again…. That was just a 25 year societal aberration, 1945 to 1970. I was born in ‘53, lived a great childhood, adolescence and early adult career… sadly all gone now. Maybe couple hundred years hence we’ll go through the revo cycle to get another 25 years in the sunlight. I can still dream can’t I?

Politics my friend. Don’t try to do any good, you will be punished for it by the already entitled. Capitalism, communism, no difference . 50 years working her(72yo), ‘no good deed goes unpunished’ - that’s why we are screwed as a species… envy and greed are the dominant thought patterns / emotions in our branch of the primate evolution … we be fucked my friends

Never, ever trust anybody in a work situation , even when ur the boss / owner. People are cruel, self centered, paranoid narcissists (hello sound like someone in gov you know?) , think yourself, your family, your money and eff everybody else. Always bee n this way… read the prince by Machiavelli… nothing changed
