I hate the fact that the entire job market and probably world at large is built on lying.
I know this sounds like a very reductive thing to say but even as a young man I see that dishonesty is the best policy. Jobs don’t train anymore, at least not in the traditional sense. The best that I’ve ever gotten is having to watch videos on how to do my job.
Most of the time, I get managers who show me what to do once, and then leave. Whenever I don’t know how to do what they just showed me a couple hours ago I have to resort to asking coworkers. The coworkers will then show me how to do something that’s the complete wrong way and I end up looking like an idiot to anyone else.
I have a lot of job experience at my age on paper, but it’s not entirely accurate. I don’t see why it’s possible for someone to work at a kitchen for 5 years and not know how to cut anything because no one wanted to show them how to do it.
I have to lie to my employers to make them like me enough to get the job. I know that I shouldn’t care about what these companies think, and I don’t. But isn’t it a little strange that you have to be dishonest and fake to make it in life? #business source
