A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

RULES:

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.
  7. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

It'd just discourage companies from sending rejection letters or giving reasons.

Better to flame the situation than the company in this case.

Ah yes the: "Accountability is bad because then those held accountable will try and hide their actions" argument.

It's not an ideal position to hold as it's one that's subservient to abuse and malicious intent

Another thing that needs to be legally mandated. Not only should it be mandated to discuss pay, responsibilities, culture, etc. during the interview process, it needs to be mandated that you receive a fully human written rejection letter explaining in specific detail why they did not select you.

If the USA is remade, I think that all jobs should go through a state and federally controlled job board. The government's job should be to ensure the things you outlined, and other stuff to help employees be safeguarded from corporate abuse.

Yep. I am 100% in favor of a federal and state coordinated job placement service. Corporations have demonstrated that they are incapable of properly hiring people.

This sounds great in theory, but I can assure you it will just result in either boilerplate or ai generated explanations. The work of putting that together is just going to get thrust on already overworked people who are dragged into panel interviews so managers don't have to deal with it.

That’s why you mandate that it not be boilerplate and AI—but you’re right that it could get tricky. As another person said, ultimately we need a federal and state jobs program.

For future reference, they can just omit the middle paragraph because nobody cares about the opinion of a company that isn't hiring them.
