Employers Are Angry Because You Won't Act Like A Wage Slave

This article is laughably out of touch.

Yeah, comrades, I still look at the shit in my inbox from LinkedIn because once in a while it's a fucking riot. Lo and behold, this morning, an article pops up alleging that candidates and employees are ghosting on interviews and jobs. Apparently, after 50 years of shitting on workers, employers are surprised those workers have gotten wise and started treating their masters the way they've been treated.

Where once it was companies ignoring job applicants or snubbing candidates after interviews, the world has flipped.

The world flipped? Where the fuck have you been? Employers have been going silent on employees for decades on decades. In worse situations they've been openly belligerent with with candidates and employees. Look at Elon fucking Musk openly abusing a former employee in public. Workers are treating you in kind and giving what you gave. Congratulations, this is what you deserve.

HR teams are bemoaning the emotional rollercoaster they’ve suddenly found themselves on, dealing with the kind of “what just happened?” situations once reserved to those on the dating circuit.

Oh, does that feel bad? Are you hurt? Fuck you. This isn't like the fucking dating circuit. This is what employees have been facing day in, day out, for decades. At will employment cuts both ways. If you can fire me, without notice or cause, on the spot, then I can quit my fucking job when and how I please. If anyone thinks this is anything other than equitable and fair, they're willfully lying to themselves or completely blind to how employers have treated workers for longer than I and my peers have been alive.

“‘I feel like I’m failing,’” she wrote. “It’s my job to keep this place staffed. It’s my job to keep it running, and I can’t even hire people because nobody wants to work.”

Nobody wants to work? Are you fucking serious? Do you not have the awareness to realize that candidates want fair pay for their work? Are you too dense to understand that for decades employees have been mistreated by their employers consistently and lawfully? You build this system. You fucking piled more and more shit laws on that abused your workers and now you're actually surprised that they got around to silently saying "fuck you". Well, fuck you.

Recruiters say there’s an easy way to ease such frustrations: communicate. Don’t accept jobs if you’re not serious about taking them. If you do need to drop out of the process, say so.

Fuck. Off. The answer to this isn't communication, and it sure isn't foisting the responsibility for that communication on the worker. The answer is treating workers like human fucking beings. The answer is offering them fair pay for their work. The answer is offering them pensions and healthcare and family leave and all the other benefits that have been stripped from workers or never even offered that we, as workers deserve.

DO NOT be fooled by authors, recruiters, or hiring managers peddling this absolute fucking nonsense. You are worth a fair wage at the least. You are worth employers informing you of the reasons for your termination at the least. You are worth a social safety net and severance pay in that eventuality at the least. And you are worth so much more than what these fucking vampires are giving you.

tldr; Employers are whining because workers are refusing to be ignored, berated, and abused. Fuck them.
