Veeeery slowly losing my mind

truly one of the most demoralising things about being in the job market atm is "only successful applicants will be notified" is practically a universal standard. so you spend hours, sometimes days filling out applications, writing CVs and cover letters only to be ghosted as the only form of communication. Not even a "thank you but this time you've been unsuccessful" email. You're in a constant state of "did I not get it or have they not contacted me?" and you just have to eventually conclude you were unsuccessful without so much as courtesy, "sorry, but thank you for your application." A literal thankless cycle for months and months and months. You'd think with all the ways to automate these processes they would at least have the time, means and decency to acknowledge your submission and let you off the hook, but no. You're just in limbo in every possible way in the name of "efficiency". Solidarity with everyone going through this because it is truly dehumanising and demoralising to work so hard on putting yourself forward constantly without acknowledgement or useful communication of any sort for long periods of time, and most ppl simply will not have any compassion for what that's like.

Hier im Ort gibt es ein Haus, bei dem ich mich immer gefragt hab, wie die sich diese ganzen schicken Anbauten leisten können. Ständig irgendwas renoviert, angebaut, umgestaltet etc. Meine Eltern kennen die Bewohner flüchtig und meinten auch immer, es kann nicht sein dass die so viel verdienen. Naja, was soll ich sagen - diese Woche ist die Info gedroppt, dass die gute Frau, die da wohnt und in der Buchhaltung eines Unternehmens arbeitet, seit Jahren eiskalt ihre Privatrechnungen über die Firmenkonten bezahlt

I saw a post on a terf blog before I blocked it from someone being like "Ummm is anybody else really concerned about the rise of antisocial kinks like pissing" and it made me laugh so hard I almost did a little antisocial kink myself
