idk how we as a society went from “we’ll train you to do things our very specific and proprietary way and you MIGHT gain transferable skills“ to “apply with all the knowledge of an employee who’s work here 5 years for an entry level position but also here’s $18/hr” but holy shit it’s maddening

i'm not an anomaly
there are other larger creators than myself who feel similarly as me now and bluesky pbllc has ruined any/all good will bc of jay + paul's statements
my voice should be helping people move to bluesky from twitter and instagram; not moving people off bluesky to another PDS

I will never understand how if a company is no longer taking applicants for a position, or if the position is filled, they don't take the posting down.
It can't be that complicated of a process.

giving up on UX and going to pivot to a field that might actually be hiring is probably the most freeing thought i've had this week.
shit sucks, but my brain is tired.
but truth be told, my UX career was DOA. and it's fine to admit that i'm not "there" and don't know when i will be.
so... bye

Dear companies,
If you reject me? That’s fine. But please also remove me from your mailing list. Why tf would you think I’d want to stay on it? Be serious.

The correct frame is to get these latecomers to accept the damage they’ve done by giving them the task of repairing it and putting them to work. No coddling their feelings; make them show how much they regret this.

Y’all gotta stop putting the entire weight of forgiveness on our shoulders. They gotta want to change. Even if it’s selfish motivation, they have to accept that they done fucked up. Embracing these people without that will just bring us right back to where we are now. Fuck the status quo ante.
In the coming weeks, a lot of slow-on-the uptake folks are going to begin belatedly realizing Trump is both an inept moron and a dangerous autocrat. Our great civic challenge in these trying times will be calmly welcoming them aboard instead of primal-screaming in their faces.

oh hey, I didn't even notice you there.
my name is in my handle and I'm a UX Designer (junior, at best).
the best way to get to know more about me is watching this video, which is one of the best things I've ever done.

At this point, I feel like applying to jobs is just a test of "will they actually send me a rejection or ghost me?"

Gently easing back into Blender after about a year off feels really good. A little lost, but I'm learning my way around again.

I got the oddest rejection email. Like... It reads canned or AI, but it might be real? However, it includes a lot of detail I probably didn't need to know and so it feels fake. Not sure, but either way, surprisingly not the worst news I got today.
