    It’s in the name. If you were a kid in the 90s, you’re a 90s kid. Babies are not the same as kids. Kids can cover a wide range of ages, as they can be referred to as that their whole life with a certain kind of phrasing.

    I get the line is debatable, but I feel like consistent early conscious memories is about the starting line for “kid”. I’ve never really heard of it being used to mean when they’re born in conversation.

    This is just my experience, but I’ve never heard of this particular molehill.


  • This is true, but everyone’s problem is specifically the “overcomplicated” part. I can see a better vetting process being needed for higher skill jobs, but really just testing if they’re a living breathing person and able to repeat things is kinda pathetic. But if this is now how a hiring department/manager works these days, then it seems like asking for a resume is silly. It would obviously be most “convenient” to just be able to mass apply easily, so I can see the argument for this process. It seems that most of the complaints you typically hear about though (maybe this is just personal bias and anecdotal experience) are related to low skilled applications. Minimum wage/not far above minimum wage jobs this is crazy overkill. It just feels like a huge waste of time.

    It becomes more and more worth it the better the job gets.

    Not wanting to do double the work for no tangible benefit is not being lazy.

    Being slowed down in applying for multiple positions and being upset about it is not being lazy.

    If your company is small enough not to have an HR department then they’re clearly small enough to review resumes. Or just stop asking for them if everything you wanna know has to be spelled out in the exact right order for you to comprehend it.

    If your idea to make the job easier (for you) is to make it more than double the work for everyone else, then the company supporting this move deserves to go under.

    Why should an applicant do everything twice just so some unknown wage slave they likely won’t even meet have an easier day?

    This isn’t making your job easier, it’s just making everyone else do it for you. That’s not the same thing. Do your job and stop taking shortcuts at everyone else’s expense.
