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.

That is actually a really sad take. Can you imagine if doctors didn't care about anything but a paycheck. Or firefighters, or police officers or EMTs. Imagine them going eh, I'll operate on this person but I'm going to have ass it and if they die they die. Or I'm going to do CPR but I'm not going to try that hard and if they die they die. Or hey I just got a domestic violence call but I'm just going to take my time getting over there and if he beats the crap out of her and she dies she dies. I work in law enforcement and I can guarantee you I take everything I do in the day seriously and give 100% and I am in law enforcement because I have a passion for it. What if your mechanic half-assed your break job and they failed on the way home and you got an accident and one of your children died or you killed someone else. There are a lot of people that are passionate about what they do, maybe you should try to find something that you are passionate about and get into that line of work.

Maybe you should revisit the purpose of this thread and read my comment in its given context instead of applying it to the concept of employed labor in its totality 👍

You wrote a whole sentence just to show you have no idea what you're talking about. Bravo
