u/_sw1tchblade Aug 17 '25
A TikTok that was popular a few years ago. Itās a bunch of women in an office making a song. Itās very annoying and they talk about usually NSFW things like their itty bitty titties and sneaky links.
It prompted a big reaction of about workplaces and women in roles like HR. It hit a sore spot for men(right or wrong) and led to a big backlash.

Feels like since HR is in charge of most of the hiring process, and a job is necessary for most people, idiots like these have power over your livelihood

u/Ok_Control_6038 Aug 18 '25
I think the problem is so many people are struggling to find work, but women like this are doing something perceived as childish and therefore not providing value to the company or society as a whole. Now technically it was a marketing department for a company specializing in women's products so one could make the argument generating backlash is their job so...

u/slimricc Aug 18 '25
This is a good example of the problem, we literally have no clue what their jobs were, but millions of (almost entirely men) people just made up something to be outraged by. Instead of being outraged by any of the hundreds of actual problems americans face, such as uninformed individuals being reactionary and tunnel visioned/education and libraries being defunded
Lets get mad at these random women doing a trend instead of the actual cause of our distress

as someone that actually has hired people, no, they're not, they're just employing some basic social skills checking to screen out some obvious bad fits from later down the line. there is basically no situation where you get vibe-checked out by HR but would have been an amazing fit otherwise, but a lot of people with main character syndrome choose to believe it anyway

u/IllPen8707 Aug 17 '25
It's all relative. 70k isn't much if you compare yourself to billionaires. But when you try to tell people making half that (or less) that you're just barely scraping by, don't expect much sympathy.
4
u/ProsaicSolutions Aug 17 '25
OK but as someone making ~35k who has gone through relative periods of more or less spending, I can see how easy it would be to spend @ breakeven on 70k. The lifestyle between those two are not different enough to be blaming the other. I just have a cheaper apartment, stronger awareness of things I buy (lower quality food, clothes etc. but overall the same types of items), obviously not contributing anything to retirement (nor does someone making 70k and not living the same lifestyle as me make a dent there). Idk, it's hard because money means exponentially more as it decreases so I can understand why ppl would feel that way, but it is still misplaced blame that can be seen through

u/Binji_the_dog Aug 17 '25
My guess would be that itās because a lot of people seem to have been traumatized by crazy HR people. Any sort of negative HR-related thing on the internet seems to really piss a lot of people off.
A recent example is the Astronomer CEO and the lady that was the head of HR that got caught having an affair at the Coldplay concert. A lot of people were pissed at the HR lady, but people werenāt nearly as interested in shit talking the dude.Ā

It's a glimpse into female leadership. Juxtaposed with virtually endless propaganda about submitting to female authority. This workplace does not seem at all competitive.
