This is hands down the best post I've read about being laid off—it was hilarious and totally lifted my mood. If I can add to the conversation, I'd bring up the battle against ATS systems. Navigating those loooooong forms in platforms like Workday is a true test of patience, where auto-rejections mean death by AI. It’s like a modern version of gaming—except there’s no fun, just frustration. Back in the day, we tackled gaming challenges with creative tactics for fun. Now, it’s about figuring out how those AI algorithms score your CV and deciding which hoops to jump through to avoid being cut out of opportunities.
Hopefully, being left in the dark about what happens to your CV and application will change soon. I think I read somewhere about AI being used to explain exactly why you were auto-rejected. It’s funny when you think about it—AI getting beaten by AI! Still, it makes me wonder... how much are we really gaining from this as humans?
I'm glad it resonated, Eva! And OMG ATS systems are the 9th circle of hell. If automation is the game, please give me an AI program that optimizes my resume and cover letter without lifting a finger.
