Something competent White men discovered a decade ago…

Of course, there's always that one faggot with "muh STEM" in the replies, as if that path isn't infested with women and H-1Bs.
STEM is a dirty lie, I have a chemistry degree and the only shit available is either for PhDs (and requiring excessive experience that a fresh PhD isn't going to have) or you get a CDL and drive a truck. Its absurd. They tell you there are all these jobs available but the moment you graduate it vanishes like the damn mirage it always was.
This is just an anecdote, but my industry and workplace needs entry-level (recent-grad, no experience) chemists, and it has become almost impossible to find any. And not for any resume filtering reasons either; just a complete lack of applicants that are legal citizens with a relevant degree.
I can only assume the competent candidates gave up applying, and the legitimate employers get drowned out by the algorithmic hiring of the largest companies.
Boss: Do you know anyone for xyz?
Me: Sure [middle aged White guy who’s been unemployed for 5 months] would be perfect!
Boss: …
Real conversation I’ve had a dozen times.
Pretty much exactly this. You apply for these entry jobs you absolutely have the qualifications for and then they just ghost you. And the position just stays on the board without any movement so you know it isn't filled, its depressing. And its either a fake listing or just one other job that shoves anything that doesn't fill their diversity quota into the trash.
Ive seen one in my area im more than qualified for but the salary is way too low. It has been open for 3 fucking years. 3 YEARS. I only know because i keep getting job website email notifications for it.
Also may be a fake job posting.
who knows I was contacted by them and did a first round interview but turned it down after they contacted me again because of the salary.
Men with above average IQs also have above average pattern recognition skills and figure out that trying to beg for scraps from people who refuse to hire you is pointless after a while.
But the jobs ARE there. But they're reserved for women, nons and immigrant nons.
Drive a semi and listen to audiobooks of your PhD coursework as you do it. Take the tests and boom.
STEM was always a lie that Boomers told Millennials and Zoomers.
I hear an endless number of white males with STEM degrees that won't even get interviews, much less job offers even when they can pull an interview. I bet that's another component of the transgender trend with white males.
And has been for decades. The scientist that crashed the “female scientist women empowerment” event just to show women were being promoted over men despite doing less was hilarious, then he got blacklisted for daring to be the only honest person in the room.
Do you by chance have a link on what you're talking about?
post the link please
Unless you are in the field and established years ago, its a nearly dead path too unless you have connections [which is not unique to STEM], or you are extremely talented/driven and start your own personal business/self employment [again, not unique to STEM].
Gee.
I used to work for an extremely large/old/established engineering firm, their processes and procedures were written from experience, meaning they were some of the best that ever were. I loved working there, the people were wonderful, some were weird but you didnt have to interact with them if you didnt want to. There were multiple career paths, lots of growth, lots of experience to be gained if you wanted, lots of variety. I thought it was wonderful.
I left in 2013 because they announced at the quarterly company wide meeting that next year they were outsourcing 100% of the business unit I wanted to stay in to their India office.
1HB visas have continued to drive wages down and plague my career and salary advancements everywhere I go, so much that whenever I put myself out there that i am open to a new position i get flooded with jeet emails with non-benefited short term positions for less $/hour than I was making 15 years ago.
Never forget who was responsible
