  Like, 8 hours a day, at a desk, for money, over the course of an entire career…? Yeah, that’s why I’m filling out this application.

    If you’re filling out the exact same data into forms for 8 hours a day for 50 years, maybe automate it?

      now we’re at the victim blaming stage where we expect people to utilize 100k a year job skills just to fill out applications for burger king.

        Who in Burger King spends all their days filling out the exact same data all the time? Most people I see at Burger King are making food.

        I was replying to the person saying that it’s important that people show they can fill out forms with precision and I’m saying that filling out the same exact data into a bunch of forms isn’t what anyone does at their job because if it was, that position should be automated away anyway.

      Then they fire me, keep the software, and make someone else do 2 jobs. ☹️

  I get hundreds of half-ass applications for jobs. But the 10% that actually fill out the application and meet the minimum qualifications almost always get an interview.
