You know what? Potential employers with unrealistic expectations can take their McJobs and shove them.

I've recently been rejected for a job, for the umpteenth time in these 16 months of unemployment. No surprise there. It was a two day a week admin role, earning a grand total of $259 each week before tax. But after the interview - which took place with four hours' notice, and meant I had to re-arrange travel plans. Fuckers - the arseholes said they'd decided to not go with me because I'd been honest about the fact that I'd have to look for another job to fit in around the two day a week role.

So what they really wanted was someone with full-time availability for approximately half of the legislated minimum wage. Realistically, the only people I can think of in that position are stay-at-home parents, with partners earning a gazillion dollars, who just want to earn play money. Totally not me, in other words.

Anyway.


In other news, the cunt who said the job I had for seven years was redundant has been asked to leave the organisation... because they're a fucking useless waste of space (the person, not the organisation). Of course, it's been phrased as "seeking other opportunities" but the reality is they were really bad at their job, the organisation's profile has taken a major battering because of it, and their contract wasn't renewed at very short notice. What a shame. I hope it takes them at least two years to find another role. Cunt.
