We expect you to be independent as soon as you come in
It's OK to ask questions, but we won't baby you through the work (aka, clearly showing all the steps. You're expected to figure out the steps on your own*)
If you have a PhD It's seen as low work experience. We expect you to get a PhD on the side (which also means no pay and you're working while doing the PhD). BTW, PhDs are counting as working employees for the purpose of getting student discounts and housing. They are given salaries.
Companies these days prefer to keep low headcounts and off-load the work onto interns and agency flexible workers
This country is a "relationship based country" so you need good social skills (and nepotism) to get a job. If you make friends during your internship it matters more than doing a good job because then your friend will recomend you to the recruiters and the recruiters won't even bother posting jobs online.

*this is genuinely what she said. I'm not exaggerating. Imagine being at an engineering company and expecting the new hires to fucking do the thing on their own and I guess fuck up whatever experimental/proprietary/institutional/tech debt/whatever tf process you have.

This is the state of capitalism here. In any socialist revolution we are 100% going to have to destroy the scrouge known as "networking" (aka corruption). All jobs should go through a common online portal that takes anonymous applications!

I’m not sure what the managers and senior dumb fucks are here for besides just managing money? They have zero leadership qualities whatsoever. First ones to throw everyone under the bus, creating an absolutely shit working environment, can’t fucking do shit that the younger guys can do while expecting that work to be easy and done in record time. Useless

There is literally not a single fucking day that goes by that I don't experience a moment of pure, unadulterated hatred for my boss who decided nobody can take home food anymore. It's so incredibly frustrating thinking through the numerous ways it's advantageous to the business, like, having happier, healthier, more motivated workers, literally giving the equivalent of like a $3/hr pay increase in addition to saving TIME out of each worker's life as they now have an extra meal they don't need to prepare, all at the cost of: food that is being thrown away anyway and containers that literally cost a nickel each (and we could provide our own)

but it doesn't matter because the fucking middle manager pieces of shit disagree. There isn't even a counter argument, just a, fuck you!

He should be gutted

Package up your "food waste" in plastic wrap or food wrap paper before throwing it in the designated trash can. To minimize adverse smells and raise the standard for air quality/hygiene, of course.

Yeah I mean i can sneak shit out but I shouldn't have to. It's demeaning, anxiety inducing, and it's just straight up less safe (but tbh that involves me breaking the health code cooling down a personal container in the fridge but i mean that's huge nerd shit theres no difference between my food in a container and the exact same food cooling down in a hotel pan)

Of course i also told all this to boss dipshit but he literally doesn't care that people are also still doing it anyway (oh but he cares enough to fire you if he sees it, fucker)
