Boss forced everyone to come into work because she was tired of using tech. Wanted people to come in and eat ice cream while brainstorming with post it notes. Said anyone not there is fired.

Well she didn't put any effort into planning it, and it was very inefficient so everyone ended up using their computers like they had been doing at home. Just with more distractions and needing to commute. Not much work got done so everyone needed to work from home that night after hours to meet deadlines.

Well it turns out the guy passing out icecream was also passing out covid. Every single person on the team got sick. None of the projects were completed by the deadlines and the entire department was shut down. Everyone lost their jobs.

The boss herself is still unemployed over a year later because she is now disabled with long covid. Has a heart problem from it where she can pass out at random times. Can no longer taste ice cream.

Wow crazy that so many people use those social media platforms. I have never used any of them.

So kind of like K Mart?

Sadly a lot of that isn't necessarily about ability to work, but ability to get through a job interview.

The whole interview process is going to weed out the candidates who aren't as sociable, outgoing, charismatic, etc. They are going to look at body language and eye contact while doing small talk. A lot of soft skills like that are more important to pass a job interview than actual technical knowledge. Even when the job has no customer facing requirements.

They also tend to not have the connections that get your foot in the door.

It's bias in an interview process that isn't designed with autism in mind. Many who have high IQ with attention to detail, technical skills and are hard workers are still unable to get a job offer because they come off as disinterested or awkward.

How does this work? You watch 100's of ~10 second videos in a row for hours? Trying to understand because this seems to be a common thing these days.

I have never tried tiktok and only saw some YouTube shorts. I see one or two and it annoys me because it's clipped badly, gives bad information, or just shows something meaningless. Random loud music. The same video keeps playing on a loop as I try to think.

Even if it was great content, my brain just couldn't stay focused beyond a couple videos. The constant changes to a new video would be exhausting for me. There's also no time to think about what you just saw.
