It’s a friendly gesture. Shaka / hang loose.

Aha! Good point.

It’s just a phase. They will get over their reluctance resistance.

That is due to the fact that Reddit - and I can’t stress this next part enough - sucks.

Pay down your debts first.

Exactly. I’m just saying it’s not fair to the external applicants whose time is wasted- like you said; but it’s also unfair to the internal preselected people who have to “compete” for a job that should already be theirs.

It all seems it’s just done to satisfy some bureaucratic quota nonsense.

I worked at a job for a long time as a contractor. I was originally hired as a temporary filler, but they liked me so well that they kept me on, and let other lower-performing contractors go instead, despite me being the newest. Eventually due to economic downturns they released all their contractors, including me.

A few years later as the economy recovered, they brought me back as a contractor again, with the intention of hiring me once a position became available. Months later, one did open up and they specifically told me to apply for that position as an internal hire - but they would have to open it up for external applicants too.

I was a tad annoyed that some external applicant could in theory swoop in and take my “promised” position away from me, even though I’d been doing the job for years and was clearly the favored candidate.

I felt bad for the external applicants who probably never really had a chance, but at the same time I felt I’d earned that job.

I did get hired, of course, and I am still at the company to this day - fifteen years later. And I’m up for another promotion at the end of this fiscal quarter.

All I got were a sparkler & a black snake which left a stain on my concrete.

lol nice.

I dated a girl who acted like writing / talking like that made her better / smarter than other people. She got off on the elitism. I’m no academic slouch, but my philosophy is if you can’t break it down in basic terms that anyone can understand, then you don’t understand it enough yourself.
