Under Management Review

About 6 months ago I applied to a job at a Shitshow company right down the street. I figured if I was stuck in the Shitshow Industry I might as well jump ship and get a nice little raise. Once again my experience is your entertainment.

First off, the career website didn’t allow you to upload a resume. I had to fill-in their template which didn’t allow copying and pasting from a word or text document. After spending a good half hour filling in my resume, I was ready to start applying. While I applied to a lot of jobs, one opening was an exact match to my “experience,” and even had the same basic job title I currently have.

I figured this would be a slam dunk, if nothing else I should get an interview. A couple days after applying to the job I received an email stating that my resume had passed initial screening and was now in management review. After that email I never heard anything. I checked back a couple times over the next couple weeks and the status was unchanged, while the status for all the other jobs I applied for stated I was no longer under consideration. I figured I still had a shot at making a little more money.

Fast forward 6 months, last night I checked the status again. Guess what? My resume is still under management review! Today I asked a couple people around the office if they knew anyone over at the Shitshow down the street. Turns out the fluncktional manager over at that Shitshow used to be a rising star at this Shitshow…now it all makes sense.

Because Shitshow is as Shitshow does, I throw rocks.
