Had a bullshit interview this morning (hexbear.net)

As many of y'all know, I'm looking for a job right now, new housing and transportation situation and all that. Well I got a call back from a shitty nursing home to be a cook and the person that called was a total bitch, but I scheduled an interview for 9:30 today. I woke up at 7:15 this morning to get ready for the interview. Shaved, got on my cutest dress, everything I could do to make myself comfortable with this interview. Turns out there was no interview. It was all just so I could fill out a paper application. Paid $4 each way to get there, and I'm probably not even going to hear back. I'm so fucking pissed right now. Like holy shit why even waste my time?

If an organization needs you to fill out a paper job application in this day and age, that’s a sign of a poorly run company. Like, if this was some mom and pop, okay they’re not going to have the infrastructure for that. But a nursing home, if they can’t even do that via pdf, just imagine all the other functions that are running outdated and inefficient there.

Yeah, even if I get the job, I might not accept it. They have been so shitty to me, I can't even imagine how the residents feel. Actually I was waiting there for 2 hours for my ride (yay my city's public transportation). There were people asking about their money and the residential head person was just an asshole to everybody that tried to talk to her from the facility. There's a part of me that wants to work there to improve their lives, but also that sounds like ass.
