I absolutely hate HR and other Business Managers, or whatever they call themselves.

A month and a half ago, I received a call about a freelance assignment. I missed the call, but the person left a message telling me to call back. I called back, but there was no answer. No problem, I’ll try again later: Same result. I left a message.

A day or two later, nothing.

I sent an email: Nothing.

I tried calling again: Nothing.

I sent a text message: Read.

A month ago, I received a call from another company. The call went well; they told me they were forwarding my profile to the client. After a while, I heard nothing, despite sending follow-up emails to find out the status.

Nine or ten days ago, I finally got hold of them. They told me the person in charge of recruitment at the client’s company was on vacation and would be back at the end of the week.

Does this mean the guy posted a job offer and then went on vacation? And that no one’s taking over?

Today I sent a text because I still hadn’t heard anything, only to be told that the client finally hired someone internally. Not a word of apology for wasting a month of my time.

I HATE THESE PEOPLE SO MUCH.

They’re completely useless. I don’t like AI, but I wish these people would lose their jobs. They have absolutely no humanity.

Their useless companies emphasize the human process when it’s completely false.

I will never let people get their hopes up for a job that’s just a pipe dream, especially if they contact me again.

Damn it, you’re utterly useless. At least have some basic human decency.
