What your ATS says about your company
Show content
  • Ashby: You are a startup.
  • Greenhouse: You’re basic, but you’re also inoffensive
  • Lever: You think you take the path less travelled, but you don’t.
  • Workday: Yes, I will use the same username and password for all of you. I don’t like you
  • ICIMS: I hate you, die
  • Oracle Cloud: STOP SAVING MY INFORMATION I DIDN’T ASK
  • ADP: Your upper management is 90% over the age of 75
  • Whatever the fuck governments use: I will copy and paste my answers to the same questions over and over again, I do not care.
  • Your own boutique ATS: Fuck you.
  • Email: Go fuck yourself.

@icst Profit seeking is the point of a for-profit company, and is their legal requirement if they are publicly traded. The easiest way to make money on something as essential as electricity simply is to make it more expensive.
Also trying to subsidise businesses to try to get them to move from New York to elsewhere is something everyone does and it barely works as a way to get business to move and an even worse way of raising money

@benis_redux Oh, that's a good point. That's basically what Stripe does to Visa and MasterCard.
The EU is trying to do that with rail systems (that are all state owned) to open up competition which I think is an actual good compromise, where the public own the physical infrastructure and anyone public or private can use said architecture for money

@benis_redux I agree on comparing them to ISPs, which in some places are usually one of maybe 2 or 3 providers when it comes to Internet due to the extreme costs associated with laying fibre and the other infrastructure. Some ISPs aren't monopolies, and those are usually the good ones

Payment processors are funny because they're another one of those natural monopolies like electricity, transportation, Internet, water that make no sense to be privatised but they are.
Something like SEPA would solve many of the problems that people have with companies like Visa, MasterCard, PayPal and Stripe

@benis_redux @sneeden This is also true there's a Cicero quote that says something like "no one ever lies on the Internet"

@sneeden Probably not, because they might just backpay me whenever what issue they've been taking their time on. Who knows!

@Hoss An actually respectable take, even if I do not agree with it, in my anger-induced shitpost. Amazing, I thought those went extinct before I was born.
If it works for you and you like it, more power to you, fren. Actually living in both kinds of places and having a preference of one over the other puts you ahead of most people. Almost like people have preferences or something. The Internet seems to have made people forget that little detail.

I've probably just been lucky where I lived for just over four years (a city frequently shit on by terminally online Internet types) and unlucky the place I've lived for at least twenty (a town/village in an obvious state of decline you can even notice from the three times Google Streetview has been through the town). Maybe it's a regional thing, who knows.

Refining the ancient technique of "lying on my CV to try to get a job" to also include not my actual address in the middle of fucking nowhere but actually in the city I want to live and work in (thanks, IRL friend) because apparently recruiters and HR types do not think people move any more. I know housing is expensive but fuck off.
Also why does every ATS need to know my exact legal location
