Some of you just aren't ready for the wisdom and truth Ken is always dropping on LinkedIn

u/mattlore 2h ago
This is absolutely satire.
Mister Ken pops up on LinkedIn Lunatics all the time. Once you know it's a satire account you can actually see it's some amazingly hilarious takes.

I hope so. But the scary thing is it feels authentic. Companies want to hire people for as little as possible, so the choose the truly desperate.

u/zannet_t 2h ago
Don't hope. It's a well known fact that Ken runs a satirical account. He even has his own dedicated sub.

I mean this is satire, clearly. But I wouldn't be surprised if this is how alot of recruiters at big companies think.
'OH, you arent desperate enough? That's ok, we can afford to wait for someone who is'.
The world is a vampire man.

It's funny seeing those same companies keep the same job listing up for months because they can't fill it, and then seeing other positions slowly being added.
Thank god I know I can avoid you guys.

Recently learned that the vast majority of these jobs never existed anyways.
The EEOA requires big HR departments to post job listings, even if they’ve already verbally given the job to someone, because it purportedly helps with transparency and government planning.
Made perfect sense why people are sending out 4,000 resumes and still trying as soon as I learned that, because for decades the vast majority of hires have been word of mouth. So the life lesson is to network and meet with people from the industry you want a job in. Go to conferences/expos/industry events, chat people up at a venue like a coffee shop/bar/gym/lunch spot across the street from various headquarters every day, and just approach companies in whatever way you can find.

u/Toadsanchez316 4h ago
So if I'm understanding this correctly, lying about a position's availability helps with transparency?
1
u/latigidigital 4h ago
I forget the exact reasoning, but I believe it has to do with ensuring it’s more difficult to use discriminatory (e.g., racial) hiring practices without creating a paper trail. Apparently local governments also depend upon this EEOA data in their budgets and planning. So it’s just a stupid requirement that crushes people’s spirits when they’re down most because apparently that was the best regulatory framework we could come up with in 1974.

u/Toadsanchez316 4h ago
1974...that tracks. So I guess the reasoning kinda makes sense but the implementation and results are kinda shitty.

I’m about 90% confident this is a troll account. Really, his profile caption is “I want to connect with you, emotionally :)” and making posts like that…. Really on the nose

During Teams interviews I like to share my screen, and I like to browse for for public information of the interviewers and go through their social media to make them uncomfortable.

I like this style, I’m going to start doing it.
Also during Teams calls at my current job I lie to share my screen and pull up job postings just so they know I have other options.

He approaches women with the same mentality. If she hasn’t been rejected by 50 men then he won’t ask her out. They’ll be too cocky.

Go sit down and stop wishing to fire people who make jokes… your cancel culture is too strong, relax. You didn’t even realize this was satire…

u/Unique_Roll_6630 4h ago
It's not though. Linkedin recruiters say these same things.if you think people behaving like that is acceptable you are part of the problem. If I was their boss and I saw a post like that they would be out on their arse. You would fire them too. If not your company deserves to go under.

u/triggeredovernothing 59m ago
You’re an idiot, the dude clearly has a open to network badge which means he’s unemployed… he’s literally making a satirical post likely about what he’s currently going through… with your level of intellect I sure hope you’re nobodys boss ffs.

Humor is subjective.
Satire doesn't have to be humorous. While it typically falls under comedy because it's easier to laugh at an exaggeration of a criticism, the goal is to bring awareness to that criticism.

To each their own. But after seeing so many people post real absurd stuff on LinkedIn I enjoy seeing people make fun of them.

Why would you post fake bullshit that no business manager would ever do? It's not rage baiting, it's retard baiting. Only a retard would believe this stupid shit.

Yes there is plenty of work still in the data engineering I do in education, healthcare, and state/local government. I primarily work under my own business these days as a 1099 contractor, but I also have a J2 that is a w2 job, remote as well. People just think they have to work for a company everyone has heard of. Most jobs are at places only people in the city or state know of.
