hiring
we're hiring! much of your responsibilities would be to play video games all day. you'd think it would be pretty easy to hire folks by the truckload. especially since we're paying competitive salaries. but no. lotta candidates come in acting like they don't really want to get hired. some are super motived. the latter come in two flavors. people who really want to advance the state of the art of the video gaming experience. and those whose unemployment benefits have run out. it's really sad. but true. given the choice between stay at home, have sex, play games for fun - or go to work, play whatever crappy game we tell you to, and get an honest to goodness paycheck - lotta folks choose the former. at least until the the unemployment checks stop coming in. sigh. we have the same problem at the high end. but different. suppose we wanted to hire a vp. hah. good luck. there's the very rare candidate who, like the grunts, wants to change the industry. most candidates are just bored. they manage their portfolio for 15 minutes a week. and make more money than we could possibly pay them. it's crazy. but true. we as the government of the people have to stop paying people to not work. both at the bottom of the pay scale. and at the top.
