Much has been said in the past how the job industry has gone bonkers over the last couple decades. Jobs that didn't used to need college degrees require them, the crazy vax requirements, placing diversity requirements, etc. But when did the job titles get so fake and gay, and the job descriptions as well? Example, I was looking up jobs for hotels and there was crap like "food and beverage expert." The titles are fluffed up shit, and the descriptions frequently make no sense as well. When did that become the norm in America? For those of you not from America, is it like that in other countries?

Our economy is fake so of course a lot of the jobs are, too.
There's tons of jobs paying 80k+ that simply involves determining who gets grant money. You basically just remotely interview minorities and disabled people and pick who gets free money for no reason...and you get paid for that.
It is an entire industry of grift. They grift it from the Feds, the State takes a chunk and distributes it to "non-profits" who take a slice and hire workers for insane salaries who do nothing...
Amazing how capitalistic the communists are.
I have no shame, how does one go about getting one of these 80k jobs?
You look between your legs and find a brown vagina.
I run across them in the PNW for remote or hybrid work, they all have really stupid names and are nonprofit.
In the 50s when men in corporate offices decided they wanted more money and a better title to impress the Joneses, despite the company not needing it. It went nuclear after women joined the work force.
Job titles are retarded because the hiring side know they have to make it sound nice, the the seeking side who take these jobs don't know any better. They think a nice title makes them more important
I know a guy who thinks he's top shit now because he's a "services support Officer" or something like that in a government job. Some bullshit role. What he actually does is walk around the office where other government workers are clacking away on their computers and he just helps them every time they have a small technical (software UI) issues to resolve. That's it
Big kids babysitting other big kids in a glorified daycare centre
I would fucking hate doing that because that's just basically being tech support for boomers rather than solving any real problems.
Yeah. The whole concept is fucking stupid. The computer drones are so incompetent/intentionally undertrained to do their job fully, that another class of job was created to fill the gap and help them do their job ...
One job I had escalated from gardener to director of landscape management. It's part of academic degree bloating so that some college can collect big $$ issuing certificates of [in]competence.
Jeeze, I'd much rather be a gardener than "director of landscape management."
Whatever happened to "groundskeeper"?
Groundskeeper is a bit more than gardener
Dvornik.
I don't know, but I know it was mocked in the Office. Avatar had it too.
It's because of women. They demand constant validation and no criticism, and they get it.
I knew a guy whose title was "Director of Ideology" at a left wing non profit in 2011 so at least that long ago.
The left was always much more ready to embrace the euphemism treadmill.
Saw this happening ages ago when I tried earnestly looking for a job at a younger age, realised how fucked it was in any industry I would remotely consider working in and have been working to build up a competing business instead which feels way more fucking rewarding than begging for a job at a company I could well hate. I think now that's what more and more people are going to be considering.
Programming for example is a total fucking joke and it's become a bit of a meme for people who know. When you look at the job description you realise that the people who write these stupid descriptions don't even know what they're hiring you for and are potentially just throwing keywords at the search engine.
Or worse they throw programming language buzzwords and seriously expect you to know several languages in return for being paid fuck all as if any competent professional that knows what they're doing would ever take a second look at those retards for that amount of money.
It's embarrassing and I'm not surprised that there's an economic collapse happening now. What's funny is as well is these employers know they're paying people fuck all and they don't even have the professionalism the majority of the time to send an automated message if your application was denied. They then have the balls to act butthurt on news articles about being ghosted by applicants. I would not be surprised if these were shitty companies that were getting trolled and people were just that mad they decided to fuck with them.
The economic collapse is because of Dem policies. They want to do two things: turn the economy green and fight a proxy-war in Ukraine, except that the one precludes the other due to the obvious. If you do both, you kill the economy.
Yes, but this has been in the works for quite a long while now, I think that's the main point people have been making. They've been taking over whole industries and making sure that only the brainwashed morons from their universities could ever hope of getting a job, they want loyalists not experts. What's amazing is they even went so far as to attack the games industry which realistically was just a small cottage industry back in the day and now they've turned it into this woke, corporatised monstrosity.
In Aus. Yes. Very much so.
Exactly the same, in fact…
