content: HR Algorithm Tyranny Ignore the complaints from boomers. They came of age and grew up in a completely different world. They don't understand things now and it's hard for them to understand. And now most of them are retired or retiring at the end of their careers. They've checked out the game a long time ago. In the late 70's-early 80's, my father didn't like the way his company was treating him, so he quit. With no alternative plans or ideas in his head, he simply walked down the street and into another business and got hired on the spot and ended up working there for 35 years and retiring with all these great benefits. Furthermore, he had no college degree, and started off as a truck driver and roughneck and retired as an engineer. Can you imagine in this day and age being able to walk down the street and get a good paying job at a random company? Can you imagine staying in one place for 35 years, let alone just 5? Can you imagine a company putting the time and effort into you to promote you from within, even to an engineering position without a degree? Hell no, that doesn't happen anymore. Now you gotta try to figure out if your resume has the right buzzwords so their HR computer algorithm will flag your resume for further review.
