like, if you're going to make me write about your company, please give me something to work off of. "This opportunity will let you develop and hone your skills" means absolutely fuck all to me.

Dude I had that exact thing happen to me! It really sucks getting rejected in the final rounds of an interview--especially after investing so much time into it.
It sucks fucking ass, comrade. Sorry you're dealing with the same shit. It especially sucks coming from a leftist perspective where joining certain corporate structures seems so counterintuitive. I feel like I'm hurting myself repeatedly over something I don't even want for myself but I know I need it to survive in hellworld. Like, I'm at the stage where I'm staring out the window listening to Tom Waits sing Somewhere. But I really do believe there's a place for us, I just don't know how to find it.
Thanks for the kind words. It was a few months ago, and I've gotten a job since then luckily. What really sucks is that it was a position working on scientific computing stuff for the government. So no profit motive, but also wasn't related to military / security state crap.
Love that The Smiths song: "I was looking for a job and then I found a job. And heaven knows that I'm miserable now."
Yeah I know what you mean. I went to school for writing and the only work I usually get in my field is marketing, which I'm not on board with morally. Just have to compartmentalize it until I can find a way out.
I know it's probably much more hellatious in the US, but here in Australia I had this happen - I got ghosted after my third interview, where the third one was literally me meeting the team i would work with and talking to them directly, and it was infuriating.
Worst bit was that i thought my ability to talk shit with teammates and get to know people was my best quality :bruh:
