it's just the message they send.
they advertise a rubbish job for minimum wage.
then they tell you you didn't get the job.
so you think 'wow, i didn't even get an interview for a job where it's not really possible for them to have advertised anything lower... and i didn't even get a look in. not even an interview for that'
yep.
i applied for a job as a *qualitative* policy analyst.
so they said they wanted me to sit a maths test.
so then they said i did not do well on the maths test.
so then they decline me for all the *qualitative* policy analyst jobs that i apply for.
not even an interview.
nothing.
there aren't any jobs.
not for over a year.
they want to see you applying for over a year.
so when they offer you anything anything anything at all you will be grateful.
and they want the job application experience to be horrible so that people don't really apply for jobs.
and then there's this whole thing of identifying the thick-skinned psychopathic bastards who spend all their days applying for jobs applying for jobs applying for jobs... chasing the larger pay-checks. not caring at all what the job is or involves just chasing the larger pay-checks. working 1 job, 2 jobs, 3 jobs more... working all the jobs.
i mean how long does it take you to realise that managing people into ensuring they never produce anything (being obstructive and holding things up and refusing to pass their work along channels) is something that is valued and something that can pay you. and how many of those kinds of jobs can one work? jobs where one is paid to do nothing and to ensure that nothing else happens (or is ever acknowledged to have happened)?
i mean you could work three of those jobs, at least. how difficult is it to do nothing while collecting up all the money?
and then you get to thinking how stupid people are that they don't realise that this is the game and this is the game whereby they have things like titles and money and houses and retirement funds. cars and travel and trips. all the things.
if other people were as smart they could have all the things too. it's a real land of opportunity!
all you need to know is: people are only paid to ensure that their job description is never actually performed or done (or acknowledged to have been) by anybody.
that frees up time to apply for other jobs, you see.
and once you get that reputation the opportunities flow. people see just how obstructive and incompetent you are and how you got with the programme.
like the ombudsman ensuring (up until very very recently) that there were NO UNANNOUNCED INSPECTIONS of hospitals and prisons in NZ.
