I (or OP) either pronounce "globe" or "job" incorrectly. I don't know which is worse.

You've ruined the meme, GOB.

but /d͡ʒɔːb/ and /ɡlɔːb/ are pronounced the same?

[–] Azzu@leminal.space 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Job is /dʒɑb/ and globe is /ɡloʊb/

Where are you getting those pronunciations from?

Illusions Michael!

Are you pronouncing lowercase "job" like the name?

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

God I have such an irrational hate for that name, especially when it's spelled "Gob". It looks like it should be pronounced "gawb".

Earth is a glob.

That was the greatest contradiction of my last job. I was too burned out from hating the decisions of management to spend any time trying to change my situation. Fortunately for me, they badly mismanaged their finances and had three rounds of layoffs. I love my current job and, for the first time ever, plan to stay until I retire.

[–] HakunaHafada@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

Similar situation. I despise management and their decisions, and have zero energy to spare looking for a new job.

This is what happens when looking for a job is, in itself, a full time job.

I just quit my job. I want to upskill and apply to other jobs but I cannot with my current job, they expect way too much from our team and I barely feel human after the work week ends. just like a sack of milked out production, recharging for the next use

"What can I say about the American worker that hasn't already been said about Afghanistan? They look bombed out and depleted..."

According to MAGA, jobs were way up last month. In fact, they were so up, that they went back and re-jiggered the terrible numbers for the previous two months, and guess what? Those are good months now, too. I just saw a MAGA spokesman saying there are plenty of jobs, and they're easy to get. I guess all those who can't find work are just Lazy Libz.

See? MAGA is better than Biden. All you have to do is trust and believe MAGA accounting.

Actually me IRL. AI has fucked up hiring process even more, so now idk if I should be using AI to produce a resume that I know will get me interviewed or what even. Shit makes no sense anymore. Idk what to do.
