Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Went to an interview

The team for this job is whiter than snow

Sat and waited super patiently for the interview to begin (because of course they were late. Seems common).

Had the interview.

Told I will get a phone call with an answer tomorrow.

Less than 90 minutes later, I get an email saying they chose someone else.

Why do I feel like this is a case of them already having picked a candidate but still wasting time anyway?

fuck them crackas

fuck capitalism

btw, the manager for this job has "dick" in her surname so at least I got to chuckle at that. I'm mentally 12.

Can I just say fuck cover letters. I understand the purpose of a resume, and it's easy enough to write one up and use it for all the applications I send out, but cover letters are just another arbitrary hoop to jump through and I won't fucking do it.

The one valid use-case of AI: to write a cover letter that I can't be bothered to write and they can't be bothered to read.
