How the fuck does this unprofessional shit fly in this modern era? More importantly why do millennials or whatever generation we call it accepts this behavior as the norm and that we should "feel grateful" for even getting the privilege to talk to these cunts?

If employers treated customers or clients the same way they treat potential new hires they would be bankrupt in a day. I mean more and more I ask myself why people should subject themselves to this? Its not like corporations have any loyalty to their employees to begin with, you can be fired for no reason whatsoever in the name of free enterprise and the labor market is still anemic as hell so its not like there's any security to begin with.
I keep think to myself I've already started LLC doing work that's pulling in money and I could make more if I market out. With the exception of 1% special snowflakes like certain Doctors or trades you at best only make 20% of your labor back in profits under any employer.

Yeah, it's bullshit OP. I just want to be independent and to have some self determination.

That's ironic because my dad (hes 50+) got fired from Deloitte. Now he's working as a contractor for the District Government as vendor.

It's bullshit and I'm pushing him to move on because he's just a contractor working under a vendor who basically provide shit other then paycheck. You can do this work under your own business/self incorporated and not have smelly Indians collect a cut.

Lol and they market themselves as the employee friendly firm because they can't compete with pwc and Deloitte. I got turned down for a job with them which was fair since I didn't have any experience. But now I have a job just as good for my career, pays identically, but I never work more than 40 hours a week

I'll tell you what I tell everyone at work. We're all expandable. You could be top 5 and get fired a week later and bring in a new hire for less but has more determination because he's new and has something to prove.

It's not even about being a wage cuck or being expendable It's just common fucking courtesy to tell someone who took their time and effort to come and prepare for an interview their status.
I don't understand why that would be so hard? You either tell the person:

A: You're hired
B: No Fuck you and die

Simple.

It sickens me because everyone is literally brainwashed into "having manners" and being courteous and brown nose your interviewer but never when it comes to being on the other side of the table. Don't tell me this shit flies when they deal with their clients, if they pulled this same shit with their client as they do with prospective hire's they would lose all their market.

Anyway you are a wage cuck with any of these corps unless you are a partner/director otherwise even if you do get hired expect no less.

Your problem is that you put all your eggs in one basket. The trick is to send in many apps. Then when you get hired change the way things are. Best bet is to move on and start somewhere with more decency
