I had a group interview once. The guy kept emphasising that if we were just there for a job it wasnt the right position for us.

I told them to not bother calling me back afterwards.

Surely they would be willing to give up a chunk of their paycheck since they're just so passionate about what they do, right?

Right?

Fuck off, I'm here because I'll lose my house and starve if I don't have an income, the same as everyone else who wasn't born with rich parents.

I remember when I got hired to the resort I worked for.

My boss asked why I was leaving Westgate. "They changed our comp plan. There's no money to be made." I got hired.

Sometimes, in cases like that, I feel timeshare sales is a more genuine profession. All sales managers used to be successful sales reps. They know we're all chasing the best comp plan to get paid. And they wouldn't have it otherwise. No one wants someone that doesn't want to sell and make money.

My current company made me go through eight rounds of interviews. The job market/hiring process is terrible.

As stupid as it is, it isn't about greed. Since the 90s there's been a strong push for positivity in the workplace to the point they care less for technical skills or willingness to work than and outgoing attitude because they think having the latter leads to the former. That's true even in places that will still pay you fairly.

It is stupid, unfair, and yes, then they have the nerve to complain they can't find staff or get people off unemployment, but it isn't because they're looking for wage slaves. They're looking for everyone to be bestest friends and happy all the time.

I'm not saying that less toxic gaming journalists would lead to less toxic gamers. I'm just saying there's no proof to the contrary.

As a side note, I'm willing to bet the idea came from middle management that wasn't doing much of anything and needed to try and push workplace values more into their strengths of being upbeat all the time, not doing something useful.

I'd say all of the above are true.

They're looking for wage slaves who are happy to be wage slaves and will gladly drink the company kool-aid.

They want a workforce full of Spongebobs.

Yeah I'd say it's more about having a good work environment. Coworkers that don't care are a pain in the ass to work with.

In my interviews, one of my favorite things to say is "I want to invest in a company that wants to invest in me".

That should either take them or make them.
