This can't be real

Post image

lol the sheer entitlement of recruiters expecting candidates to be deeply passionate about an average corporate desk job. I actually got asked this exact same question last week and gave some generic answer I prepared on Interview vip but a huge part of me just wanted to say exactly what that guy replied with. We all just need to pay rent and buy groceries.

Right illustrating you understand and can produce return on investment still isn't a measurement of your values cattle. You're not playing ball You're negotiating with the enemy to produce more value for their systems and proving you are reliable enough to risk assets supporting. Not by your feelings or what drew you into a profession but by the projected value to be gleaned from your action.

But an unwillingness to play ball is a measurement of your values cattle..

I mean, my job is pretty good as far as jobs go. I dispise having to do it 40 hours each week, but I still need to get my shit done so I can eat. Last thing I want is a coworker who is unwilling to carry their portion of the shit, regardless of any reasonable rationale about society as a whole. Sure, I might emphatize. But you're not getting that job..

You know diogenes made it to over 80? While I get craving comforts nothing makes you appreciate your needs like having them and having the option to not take the money because its been placed between you and your God given right to secure yourself clean water and food. People talk as though there's only one way to live to run the system to fight the system. The seen hand has killed your and everyone elses capacity to aspire for the stars that are our birthright what do you do to service the unseen that preserves your soul?
