It’s like capitalism is evolutionarily selecting for a more pliant, incurious version of humanity

Yanni | That One Time at Work :
Totally valid. It’s the classic not letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. It’s just that many of us were trained or only allowed ourselves to be “perfect” and that’s hard to unlearn.

The reason why is the system wants worker bees, cogs in the machine. It rewards below average-average minds cause they are easy to manipulate, manage, and later blame… smart ppl think too much for this system

I don't think this is the reason. I think employers want the most exploitable employee they can attain and of someone can explain things they haven't explained yet... they will likely be less exploitable.

Especially when they ask the dreaded tell me about a time questions. If I could use a white board I would. STAR. Spell it out and lead them to the trough and make them drink.

Makes building a solo business super hard too. Lost so many deals and even clients because i just could not guarantee them that things would go exactly as they wanted.

it's also because bosses don't want to hire people that can outperform them or exceed them

I refuse on the basis that it is painful for me to make myself smaller. The more comfortable I am with conforming the more likely I am to settle for less than I deserve. I would be interviewing them too after all

This is how I feel running for office as a social worker. Nothing is simple, but people want simple answers. It’s a challenge I’m learning to navigate

They actually don’t care about succeeding. They just care about looking like they’re being busy. That’s the reason why smart people aren’t getting hired. It has nothing to do with answering questions poorly it has to do with the fact that we could see the companies are more interested in appearing to be busy and making progress than to actually be making progress. Intelligent people cut through the bullshit and all that a company is is full of bullshit.
