A post from Mike LaPorte, a head of talent acquisition on LinkedIn: "I owe job seekers an apology. Not for anything I did intentionally. But for what the industry I've spent my career in has normalized. We normalized ghosting candidates after interviews. Just never responding. Like the 3 hours they spent preparing and the PTO they burned to come in didn't matter. We normalized job descriptions that are 40% aspirational fiction. Listing 15 "required" qualifications when we'd happily hire someone with 8 of them. We normalized 6 round interview processes for mid level roles. Panel interviews where half the people in the room haven't read the resume. We normalized asking candidates to show all their cards, current comp, competing offers, career goals, while giving them almost nothing in return. We normalized treating candidates like a pipeline metric instead of people making one of the most consequential decisions of their lives. I'm not saying every recruiter does this. I know a lot of great ones who fight these patterns every day. But as an industry we've built a system that asks candidates to invest enormous time, energy, and emotional labor into a process that gives them almost nothing back unless they get the offer. That's broken. And a lot of it has nothing to do with technology. It's choices we stopped questioning. But I do think we can build better systems and smarter tools to start fixing it. What would you change first? Genuinely asking."

Then let us begin normalizing the acknowledgment and understanding of this grim reality so many have found themselves ensnared in. A large number simply don't know because they're not currently affected by it. The existence of this post alone is a wonderful beginning move.

I am shocked to learn this is actually underestimating costs, because it ignores the infrastructure costs.

This video is lowballing it.

Me

This is how I feel about the fandom.

Somewhere along the way, it stopped being a hobby and started feeling more like Home.

Thanks for being my safe space 💙

I'm both

Bluesky keeps feeding me weird lib memes about “”” impeaching the Cheeto felon “”” instead of what I want which is memes about killing him interspersed with men’s nude selfies.

Who do I contact about this

Mandating that you all call me puppy more often

He knows what he wants — that knot all the way in.

We're smokin' that Argentinian himejoshi catgirl shit out of a puma bone pipe at an altitude of 12,600 feet, concurrent with the third Dynasty of Ur, you stupid shit.

Definitely the latter

Been having really bad morning sickness the past two days. Maybe I did it. Maybe I'm finally pregnant

Men 💕

Maybe the key to being more comfortably sexual with my friends is to be more gay with them overall. I recoil when friends pet me because it catches me off guard, maybe it's time to embrace the pets

Jokes on you my middle name is recalcitrant

Raising cane RN for the first time in my life

Crow looking behind himself with a full vertical 180° head tilt cause he's a talented boy yes he is omg just look at him so good.

There’s no way they’re selling me at Bass Pro…

Maybe this year will be the year Dinka finally gets a train run on them for their birthday

Having artwork of my sona sparked an internal culture shift in my brain

Goodnight stupid 👉🏻👈🏻😘🥰

Twinks that talk mad shit - all bark no butt

Cause Chevy was so dope and got the ref done so fast, I also managed to snag a couples' piece from @keyzeyyz.bsky.social for @noodlething.bsky.social and I in time for Valentine's Day!!

I feel like I've been a half-assed furry this whole time but now I exist

After ten fucking years of being in this fandom, I finally have a ref thanks to @chevypepper.art being a motherfucking real one and helping me design my perfect baby

I could not possibly be happier, I've been here way too long to not really have a finalized sona. The game is now on, it's comm time

I struggle to tie my shoes

My DE razor is always available

A statement so disappointing and frustrating that I don't even want to like this post because putting a heart next to that sentence feels like supporting it
