F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:Cover letters are among the most pointless busywork activities. In theory, they're supposed to be a way for you to sell yourself beyond just resume bullet points; I get it. But in practice no one wants to spend the time and energy to generate a completely unique cover letter for each position, so they quite understandably copy-and-paste details to match positions. In the end, even that is pointless because you're automatically rejected if your resume and/or cover letter is read into a machine that doesn't find the exact keywords they're looking for. If they weren't ignoring them before out of laziness, they definitely are now that 99% of them are written by GPT

I conducted 100 interviews in 2019 and then I think 15 total from 2020-2023. This is for a team of ~150 and the company is making record profits. The decoupling of revenue growth from team growth is unlike anything I've seen at other places I've worked. When I hired in they had us in a room with 15 people all interviewing that day and now that's as many intreviews as we do in 3 years combined.

really good deep dive by the FT on how the west's offshoring + neoliberalism + short-termism (+ the USA's insane climate denialism) allowed china to corner the renewables industry........ as gil scott heron said And all consumers know that when the producer names the tune... The consumer has got to dance That's the way it is. We used to be a producer – very inflexible at that And now we are consumers and, finding it difficult to understand Natural resources and minerals will change your world ... Controlling your resources will control your world .......gonna be hard to try to go back to being a producer now quote:How China cornered the market for clean tech https://www.ft.com/content/6d2ed4d3-c6d3-4dbd-8566-3b0df9e9c5c6

Twerk from Home posted:The centers themselves don't make money. At home daycares do make money, the costs are minimal other than food, license, and a helper or two. If you have 8 kids and you’re being paid $1800 per kid that’s a lot of scratch and little kids don’t eat much. All they cover is lunch and a few snacks, parents provide the diapers and wipes and other consumables. Parents donate tons of poo poo (toys, clothes, old diapers etc) too.

Kid care observation ive made recently is all my friends were regularly baby sat or even over nighted with our grandparents on the regular through my childhood. My prim old southern belle grandmother used to give me etiquette lessons and smoke next to me while we prepped meatloaf. Free child care is free childcare. I have about 5 friends who had kids in the last few years and none of their parents will make time to see their grandkids, let alone babysit them or do overnight, and my friends are going insane. Our generations parents are either still working or if they are retired decided that retirement definitely wasnt going to involve helping with kids. My own in laws are too busy doing cruises and rv trips to help my sister in law with her kids. silicone thrills has issued a correction as of 17:49 on Aug 9, 2023 |

My dudes I have gotten form-letter rejections for so many job listings I am quite clearly qualified for on paper, sometimes after I talk to a recruiter and they're all smiles on the phone, sometimes without even the phone call. Some of the jobs are fake, and the rest have already gone to one of the 5 million other people who have applied to them, and you will never know which is which, the system is perfect

Skinnymansbeerbelly posted:By making daycare providers employees of the state thus breaking the linkage between what parents can afford and what providers are paid. There's a linkage? That would be an improvement. The money doesn't go to the employees, it goes to the owners and everyone else gets the minimum. You know, the capitalist mode of production and all.

They have a house in Leavenworth they would go to every Friday-Sunday. Seems like she had a good system, making cheese and only having to deal with 4 families. And to your point, all the patrons donated a ton and were super accommodating so their kids had good experiences.

I mean, it's kind of unfair for us to discuss how child care is devalued on one hand & then to expect elders to take it on gratis, or for less pay than the professionals earn. And as you said, a lot of elders need to work, but even if they don't it's sort of unfair to expect them to give up their retirements to do a difficult, labor-intensive but often-bored-out-of-your-skull job.

Given the shortages in that industry, I would be surprised if it was that strict and competitive. But then again, it wouldn't surprise me at all since many labor shortages are due to inflexible standards and just straight up class warfare.
