[MrEdd]

You’re just trying to make someone post Biden pictures.

[Lazamataz]

I know a guy who says, “...it is.” at the end of every sentence.

[Big Red Badger]

“,,,in the Nude.”

It’s the
“Oh My God!”
Episode
That gets the Job.

[GRRRRR]

In some industries, perhaps. I wore jeans to work on a Saturday. My first week of work. My manager simply said, “We don’t wear dungarees to work”. I went home and changed. Later in the job, I learned that the most prevalent foreign matter fibers in pharmaceuticals are cellulosic and...cotton fibers. Denim is notorious for wearing off fibers. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[silly.kerry.trix.are.for.kids]

I hate when they start out a sentence with “I mean”. No previous words were even spoken to warrant that phrase.

An Oldie but Goodie for anyone who hasn't seen it!!!!!!

VIDEO: Millennial Job Interview!

[rlmorel]

LOL...at least he doesn’t say “In bed”!

[freepertoo]

I used to be told when interviewing to never wear black stockings because they look too informal. Always wear a business suit with skirt below the knee and shined shoes. Also carry a briefcase for holding references and resume because it looks more professional to reach into a briefcase than to hand over a manila folder. I always got the job.

[max americana]

Yes, I know who he is haha. He does that. My uncle is a corporate lawyer and his friend is a judge in Ohio. The judge has a nasty habit who KEPT saying “you know what I mean?” every 60 seconds.

and the guy is a white dude..

[max americana]

or “Honestly..”. So you weren’t honest to me most of the time?

[Buckeye McFrog]

It’s all about Millenial attitude. You’re the idiot and they’re the brilliant, enlightened Wonder Generation that is going to save you from yourself.

Once they take control in this country it is SOOOOOOO SCROOOOOOD.

Let me ask you something - and you know I’m doing the same application online docs that every other under employed or unemployed individual is doing . . .

What’s with the dozens of questions on applications practically begging me to admit I’m a minority applicant, single unwed mother on GW / Food Assist or some kind of disabled refugee from some shithole in the third world? There wouldn’t be preferences would there?

Just wondering b cause I’m the dream candidate for Los Angeles County Municipal Water District or DWP and I can’t even get a call back with an ATS compliant resume and 30 plus years in project management in everything from offshore rigs to nuclear generating plants worldwide. Yet I drive past all the crews and they’re punk kids from central and South America seems like - what the hell?

I recall after graduating from college and doing all the proscribed things: wearing a suit to interviews, follow-up thank you cards, etc. for months on end. Then one day I got an interview with an ad agency and decided to just go in a pair of jeans (nice jeans) and a sweater. I just wanted to be comfortable instead of sweating, uptight and miserable. Although, I still followed up with a handwritten thank you note.

That was the first job I landed.

There is an NFL analyst named John Clayton. He lives in Seattle and is on ESPN Sports radio daily at 4pm. He says "you know" 10 times per sentence. In fact, he often says it so fast it comes out "ynw", like the sound of a car racing by. He could cut his 10 min. daily segment down to 7 mins if he stopped saying you know, you know?

John Clayton is from Pittsburgh. He covered the Steelers here locally until a famous incident where he reported an NFL rules violation which occurred at Steelers practice and the NFL docked the team a draft choice as a result.

This caused the Rooney Family to declare him persona non grata and freeze him out from access to the team, which left the paper he worked for little choice but to let him go.

And no one else in town would hire him either, so he moved to Seattle. The "you know" you are hearing is part of our very annoying local Yinzer accent n'at.

[Viking2002]

Yeah, but like........you said 'dude'..............

[bigbob]

That’s funny! But true.

Midwest, jeans are fine. Just scrape any s#it off your boots first.

West coast, jeans and sports coat to be like, hip, man.

[ponygirl]

oops. *prescribed. LOL.

[Responsibility2nd]

You’re nude right now, aren’t you.

You Freep au naturel.

[TheDandyMan]

Depends heavily on context. If a millennial fresh out of college applying for their first “real” job showed u with a briefcase all these old grumps would be decrying the ridiculous pomposity of whippersnappers :)
