The job is already fucked (hexbear.net)

I am in a bit of a state of distress right now because this job I got recently?

It's pretty much Joever already. I've been having immense technical issues with the website. I have contacted support and received no help. I am now facing an issue that might risk me getting booted (at no fault of my own) simply because no support has been provided.

To be fair, at the very fucking least, I didn't put much hope in this shit, so I'm not terribly disappointed. I knew it wasn't going to amount to much.

Really, I want to put my energy in showing up to this in-person interview I have tomorrow for this job that I actually have a referral for. It certainly would be a more stable position, but this shit is just causing me more issues. I also have a shitload of other interviews to attend still. I never stopped applying because I knew this wasn't gonna be worth shit.

I did do some work so I'll get a minor payout maybe, but this job is not going to be something I can maintain.

I'm still really fucking pissed, honestly, so I might need a fucking moment.

As much as it is annoying, being able to go into an interview and say “I’m currently employed” does wonders. Doesn’t matter that it’s in the most broken, bullshit way, prospective employers see that and think “well there must be something good about them if some other employer thought they were good enough.” So milk that for all it’s worth.

but then the "why are you leaving?" and other follow up questions can be a trap if you're not prepared

I was very satisfied with my previous job and I am very grateful for the opportunities I was provided. I'm seeking greater challenges to develop my skills further in alignment with my long-term career goals.

mfs will turn job interviews into a game of 20 questions and get all shocked-pikachu when bullshitters claw their way to the top
