insofar as the alternative to resumes is fawning letters and "knowing someone," I'll stick with resumes tyvm

after 6 months just off yourself really. sorry u did something else but work for 6 months and that shows you might not want to be our wage slave!!!

if you demonstrate that you can survive outside of the wage system they know you could just escape again any time you want. it ruins the leverage

I haven't seen any product shortages at the crappy local grocery store (can't go to the big supermarket because my car has been broken for 2 weeks) but one of the deli coolers has been broken for over a month, and now the deli closes at 5pm because everyone quit.

Well I suppose Green Bay is "out of the way" for people who live in the puckered rancid butthole of NYC/LA but it's also a major Great Lakes port

Shortages here don't bode well for other places further inland

No, from my very cursory investigation it looked like the shortages were mostly on random poo poo in the processed foods aisles. I was there for some ground chuck, spices, stuff from the bakery, and caffeine.

quote:

Manna was everywhere, and it was managing about a half of the workers in the United States through headsets, cell phones and email. Manna moved in and took over a big chunk of the government as well. There came a point where tens of millions of humans did nothing at work unless told to do so by a Manna system.

You can imagine what would happen. Manna fires you because you don’t show up for work a couple times. Now you try to go get a job somewhere else. No other Manna system is going to hire you. There had always been an implicit threat in the American economy — “if you do not have a job, you cannot make any money and you will therefore become homeless.” Manna simply took that threat and turned the screws. If you did not do what Manna told you to, it would fire you. Then you would not be able to get a job anywhere else.

quote:

The effect of Manna was to stratify out all the minimum wage workers in America. At the bottom you had the people who were unemployable. They had screwed up and been blacklisted by Manna. They were back living with their parents or sleeping on the sofa with a friend. You could get yourself un-blacklisted, but if you got blacklisted more than a couple times, you were dead.

Then there were all the unemployed people. Between Manna improving efficiency and forcing out the managers, plus overseas outsourcing taking out white collar jobs, plus machines like the automated checkout lines and burger flippers coming on line and so on, there were plenty of people who were unemployed. Unemployed people went around all day applying to jobs. But in a sense, that was pointless. All of the interconnected Manna systems knew every single person in the job pool. Manna also knew the performance of every single person who had ever worked in the system. You were in an incredibly bad spot if you were unemployed.
-Marshall Brain, "Manna"

I work in corporate IT now and I used to work in fast food. I have a hard time seeing myself go back because holy gently caress it was hard on my body, i was tired all the time and i swear to god it never felt like I was able to get the smells out of my hair.

People in food service deserve more pay than I make.

for some people, deffo, especially if they are earning white-collar wages to do physical labor

hell if I got paid what I earned now working bars or even my first job in a bakery it would be far more appealing just for the sheer stimulation of endorphins alone

the most important thing is to just lie about having a current employer

its about beating the resume processing algorithm, not what to lie about when you're in the seat.

have a few variations of your resume that you just straight up rip keywords from desired job listings. it sucks but thats the only way to sneak through i think.
