Look at you… base you on what you look like…..🙄🙄🙄 it’s easy to lie on video. In person it’s easier to tell when someone is exaggerating their qualifications..

This is so valuable, thanks

"Built into the old pension"? Pension? What is that???? lol (a 'Boomer') I was a FIRE guy before there was a name for it. That is what you have to do

I am also trimming the fat. No more restaurants, no more movie theaters, shop only essentials, no road trips, etc

you should only ever have to do this if you completely botched the hiring process lmao

In my experience, when a company says "We are like a family here" that means "We expect you to sacrifice everything for this company, while we treat our best employees like DIRT, and our worst employees like gold"

Despicable cooperation behavior!!!

The problem is that they are in professions that are oversaturated.

Corporate America is busted. Ken it’s been happening.

Salary requirements should be stated on the job description. If you say “oh my salary requirements is $60-80k”. While not knowing they are willing to pay 100k for the role. Now they will negotiate to $65k. You think you got it good until you realize they played you.

Truth bomb-every company does this. As a manager, it’s part of my job. In most other non-tech companies, this is called “your Rankers.” Every manager has to do this. It’s part of the job. Don’t ask surprise, and don’t be a wimp. If you’re on the bottom, you know all about it.

I can simple this video with a single phrase: Management by fear. 🙄

Netflix is losing market share and is looking to dump employees.

Contracting and recruiters are the biggest legal scam going today. I don't believe a single word from the recruiter clown. He's part of the ghost job culture and wastes people's time for a living. Edit: THIS GUY IS A LIAR.

This is so true. I saw the shift in my own life. I started an Airbnb business out of my home, started doing Turo, now I’m currently building my YT channel. I plan on leaving my teaching job within 3 years due to the money I’m bringing in that surpassed my salary. 🤷🏾‍♀️

People don’t work anymore the roads are filled everyday with people driving around buying things

Doing the right thing is always good policy. Imagine if they thought about the balance between worker and consumer instead of the blank check workers have given them, especially with the shenanigans of HR's CYA and manipulation of people as objectified commodities. Stupid people in charge. How many bosses get promoted and just... suck?

With modifications to support those "dream team members" in personal growth in their careers, not expanded work load. What compensation is netflix willing to part with for those employees who pass. What severance package will you provide and what reason will you give if employees don't pass this test? Especially if they have been an acceptable employee up until the failing of this test. What is the criteria that will be used to measure the employees' acceptability to ensure preference doesn't play into the manager's decision. Will the employee have the opportunity to state their case with an alternative manager or "cut" or "keep" team?

If a board member either holds up their end of the deal or doesn't, they are paid HANDSOMELY. But not you. This is what people are tired of. The people who are the least invested in the future of the company are telling their workers to pick themselves up by the boot straps. Then they want to also tell you that if you're an exceptional employee you will excel, move up, get promoted, etc....but NO ONE(including the exceptional employee(s)) is getting there. People feel tricked...and btw, a lot of these people were promised a great future if they took out a student loan and went to college...so by seeing this now at work they get a sense of deja vu. They know where this is headed, it sets in, and they begin to feel jaded. Add in a work system where they never feel acknowledged or appreciated, let alone rewarded, and it's game over.

That's not fair..if the manager doesn't like you , would vote against you..

Even if you got a network, if the gov/FEDs make the cost of operating a business expensive where a company is tight on budget, preparing for a crash, etc then they wont hire you. The gov/FEDs rekt the economy and it will continue getting worse. Finding a job has become a bloodsport.

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

Wow, this is truly an exceptional video and so timely. I’ve been laid off 5 times since 2001 since i changed careers to the corporate IT world. Last one was October 2021 and i was able to get a contract job within two weeks. Then my ex boss called me in February 2022 and asked me to come back for a much higher salary and better title and I accepted it mainly because I needed health insurance due to a heart condition. Well fast forward to now and leadership changed along with duties and roles of my team. This past week someone that’s on the inside for the last 10 plus years told me my team is on the chopping block and they plan on laying off either at the end of October or sometime in March 2025. The issue is I’m now 63 and need a pacemaker replacement in 3 months and with all the tech layoffs it’s getting harder to find a decent job. Time to get my side hustles running. Hope I can before anything happens.

I've been driving a truck for 34 years, got injured a week into a new trucking job, and once released for full duty I was let go. Finding a new job at 63 even as an experienced driver is now impossible. Unfortunately for me the ILU is about to go on strike and truckers nation wide are at minimum are about to be laid off and many will lose their trucks, their homes etc. At this point I'd take a dishwasher job, but no one wants an obviously old man. So, after two months of applying and being rejected I'm fully up against it...good luck out there! Yes gonna need it.

The new employee understands from day one they are on borrowed time and is looking for a second or third job as they try navigating the current job. This has led to a revolving door and zero loyalty. If a corporation can terminate people close to retirement in order to avoid payout for medical and retirement like past ten to twenty years the current job seekers would rather downsize and enjoy life and allow mediocrity to blossom as we see today. This level of mediocrity is why we have the problems we continue to see globally and big corporations are happy with this new generation of do nothings who spend more time at meetings than problem solving . Teams spread the blame game and no monuments creators evolve making existing problem swept under the rug for the new manager to solve. Perpetual chaos and HR incompetence is rewarded so embrace the new job market 😅it comes down to who you Blxx not who you know! What you know is now a threat to employment so liars come in first

No to Kamalamity Commie

Now I feel stuck where I'm at if this is the case

What do you do if you don't know anyone who works in the field or you're in a new city. How do you get a job? Also, how are you supposed to know the history of your position, like turnover rate?

As I sit here listening to these guys chat about the process of applying to jobs and being an employee, I am getting motivated to try and do my own thing on the side!

That is a classic example of a narcissistic CEO. True leaders should be always evaluating their team. They don’t need a special memo to do a keeper test my opinion it’s just a way for them to provide an excuse to reduce their force and lower costs.

yea try this in europe lol

I have been employed for 7+ yrs w/a Big Tech Co, top 5% of my role and received bonus. I have applied to MULTIPLE internal roles, NEVER received 1 interview. Makes ya wonder 🤔💭

We're literally fucked...

GenX - boomers had pensions and genx first gen to depend almost solely 401k with almost no education on how to use it to save for retirement

Maybe people have to apply for jobs for fulfilling unemployment securities commission for filling out a certain number of jobs to continue to collect unemployment

Job hunting is a joke. 3 interviews with 3 different people groveling for low pay work and stress. I’m not dancing like a monkey for next to nothing.

Very thankful to have landed a job 2 months ago. I got laid off earlier this year. I job hunted for 4 years. Took a 30% pay cut.

LOL. Pro recruiter. Most recruiters worked at taco bell prior to these positions but he's a white man so he must be an employment expert

California banned "gig work" but that's what most Americans seem to want.

Only going to get worse if congress keeps spending with NO guardrails in place.

1) The avg number of days for a company to hire is the highest ever, yet turnover is the highest ever. 2) Despite the extensive process to find the unicorn candidate, worker productivity is in a steady decline. 3) Doesn't really matter how you apply or how you interview - internal candidates will get the job most of the time. 4) Your best bet to find a job is to ask everyone you have ever met if they are hiring. Ask them every week. 5) With billions of people on the earth, this is clearly not a sustainable process.

Amazing content. Due to my age, life, and a degree that I couldn't figure out how to monetize right away, I've been doing this since i lost my job during the so called recession in 2008. New subbie. Thank you so much ❤️

Absolutely...... who you know is key!

Great show! I currently work for one of the big banks and let me say, my mental health is not so good after 8 going on 9 months. As my superiors and supervisors push me to have a better Handle Time. Stressful, good hours but alright pay.... when i say alright, it's eh... 😒

You guys are so late ⏰ I’ve worked as a freelancer for over a decade starting in 2014 and freelance isn’t anything new. Showreels of your work as a creative or more specifically, a filmmaker; was always a standard. Being able to demonstrate a portfolio is old and perhaps only new to 9-5 lifers.

this blood is on Kamala Harris' hands

This talk about the last 5 years is not correct. It’s since 2020. In 2019 it was a spectacular jobs market. In late 2020 into 2021, for any lower end jobs, it was nearly impossible to hire anyone. They were all getting around $50k a year to stay home on unemployment.
