It seems funny but this is exactly what i was thinking about for a week.
It makes me pray for a new system to arise and subjugate the current one through economic efficiency, just to teach us a lesson on how life works.

I hate normalfags with passion.

Networking works if you were born rich, why did you decide to be born poor, fag?

When you realize the normalfags hated the kid that did the extra credit project as much as the kid who told the teacher she needed to collect the homework when she forgot about it, you realize normalcritters just hate work in general. It was always about the grift.

You anons put into words what I’ve had in my head for years. Thankfully a good portion of the IT field is free from this. Yes you can network but there will always be room for merit based work.

More like meet people that can exploit you for cheap labor, anon. You got the message wrong, unless you are hiring, and then people do line up and wag their tails and tell you their inner details..

It's fun to fuck job candidates.

Always amazed at the amount of effort they will put in to avoid producing something themselves. Starbucks has a $112B market cap and lines a dozen cars long most mornings.

Shit's surreal. It's not even laziness; it's more work drive to the Starbucks, place your order and pick it up than it is to just make it yourself. It's a bizarre aversion to production and creation.

Allow me to present an alternative view. The world is full of assholes, retards, lazy people, dishonest people, cry babies, incompetents, etc. As an employer trying to fill a position, it is difficult to weed out all the "damaged merchandise" and it is expensive when one slips past you. You waste time and money training them and if they are in a protected class, you might get sued when you fire them. Hiring someone you know or someone who is known to a friend, you can reduce the risk.

Now I am aware that a big part of the problem today is the useless bitches in HR who make hiring choices based on which applicant most resembles their last boyfriend. But when managers hire known individuals, they can circumvent this bullshit too.

There is my two cents from the other side. .

Case-in-point: sociopaths and exploitation. Companies that have effective skills-testing/appraisal, decent pay, and well-developed policies find people who are good at their jobs and happy to earn a reasonable amount doing the reasonable amount of work that they're expected to do. Companies that don't find people that they can exploit (particularly those who have maintaining a network as their concern). Over time, the first type of company becomes the second type of company, as social climbers worm their way into management and hiring and insist on "known individuals" (nepotism babies), avoiding "damaged merchandise" (people who would call them out), and undermining the latter with derogatory labels like "assholes, retards, lazy people, dishonest people, cry babies, incompetents, etc".
In the end, the fundamental sin is one of hypocrisy, as they pull the same bullshit they accuse of others, in the interest of maintaining their position and lack of accountability.

I can’t do all that. Too quiet, no good at the loud networking shit.
But - I’ve just started a new job at almost double the wage of my old one. I was referred by a guy I used to work with who was asked if he knew anyone good. So networking doesn’t have to be schmoozing (although I’m sure that works if you’re good at it.) it can simply be being good at your job and being someone colleagues remember as very competent.
