Counterpoint: I just turned down (didn’t reply to) a cattle call email from a headhunter who had 5 different spacing gently caress ups in his loving signature. If you can’t decide on 0-2 spaces after a colon in your loving sig, you will probably gently caress up my paycheck.

Entirely fair. The last time I took a temp job that hosed up my pay, the email was similarly hosed up but hey money. Attention to detail is a thing that is hammered into every employee from day one, or it isn’t. I’m not quitting a decent job that I enjoy to roll the dice.

Crain posted:The extra hosed up thing is: The "higher up" I've gotten in my career, into corporate jobs, and into lead/senior positions, those kinds of roadblocks completely evaporated. It's really, really clear what the class system is. The executive class literally might as well be nobles assigned a fiefdom, while everyone else is desperately labouring serfs at their mercy.

PhazonLink posted:like a physical pay stub? This is why you keep W-2s and so on. I have had several jobs ask for receipts and do extremely thorough background checks, for fairly high-level positions. This proved to be a bit irritating when one of my previous contract outfits hosed up everyone's W-2 one year. Extremely careful places will ask you to explain why the position on your resume is listed differently in the company's records, which often happens, let alone ask you about gaps. As far as gaps turning off recruiters or their robots, and other weird issues, this is still a job searcher's market and I can tell you it's much easier to get a job now than it was 2012-2015. 1) Companies are really struggling to fill key positions so you could really get yourself promoted in this atmosphere. 2) Taleo and other antiquated mid-2000's poo poo like having to restate everything on your resume into more forms also seems to be going the way of the dodo, thank Christ. LinkedIn Easy Apply will yield plenty of hits and people not using that service will do similar. I shotgunned the Internet with applications earlier this year and I can't tell you how much easier it was when I was doing the same in 2015. 3) I have had weird gaps on my resume and even at one point went back to an old job. People asked what's up, but no one cared because COVID has still for the time being upset what was previously considered normal, to job searchers' benefit.

Deleting my old one was something I never got around to until I noticed how much of the information was turning up on those public data scraping websites.* I'll likely be looking for a new position next year when I move (and considering changing industries) so I have a feeling I may need to reactivate it. *So far it's only been a matter of submitting a takedown request with each company to get it taken down, but I assume that streak won't last forever.

Deleting my old one was something I never got around to until I noticed how much of the information was turning up on those public data scraping websites.* The controls are generally solid when you use them, but they are way behind on making a one-click, lock everything down option, so it's sort of discouraged through inconvenience. The Visibility section of privacy is where you lock down your profile, but the amount of bullshit sub-options is alarming. Unfortunately LinkedIn appears to have largely won the resume site wars, most other boards just return crap now.

Can't wait for the Tesla vs police shootout. "It's gone rogue! Shoot it!"

That would at least be a cool flavor of dystopian, if all the cops were replaced with exploding self-driving cars with the shittiest AI imaginable. Very Robocop.

Grindr, from 2017-2020, was selling extremely identifying location data on its customers to third parties; the data is now out in the wild. Grindr's assurances that they are now selling less data are not promising. This has led to one known outing, and almost certainly more. https://twitter.com/jason_kint/status/1521119686884216832

In their full quote they literally just do the modern dotcom bubble thing and name every shiny tech word they can think of to make investors forget about how poorly the company is doing right now: quote:Square Enix said it made the deal in a bid to more efficiently allocate resources and accelerate growth for its core business. "In addition, the transaction enables the launch of new businesses by moving forward with investments in fields including blockchain, AI, and the cloud," the company added without elaborating.

They sold off Hitman ages back. Squeenix is pretty infamous for treating its western IP poorly with massively unrealistic sales expectations while massively over-investing in Final Fantasy.
