Yes, I love having my zoology class completely interrupted and derailed to do an assignment on something completely unrelated to the class, it’s very smart forcing this bullshit into classes that it doesn’t make sense for instead of making it an elective for people who need it.
I love being groomed to prove my worth to capital by researching and compiling a list of skills based on the random whims of the employer class. I love being forced to read and reference very totally academic and serious reports like “The New Work Order Series” that present findings like “Young Australians are currently working more jobs than ever before but they’re also underemployed despite being more skilled than ever before.” and then they somehow make the dumbass conclusion that “Our young people are not prepared for work.” Oh yes, it’s always the fault of us workers, isn’t it? It couldn’t be the fault of employers not doing their part. Nope. I’m sure that reading a bunch of LinkedIn profiles and writing an assignment up proving that I understand what employers want will make their demands less unreasonable. I love that I’m essentially paying employers to propagandize at me. I love that this complete joke of an assessment, written by some HR goon, gets to push its way, unearned, into the same realm as a field of science that has undergone centuries of rigorous peer review.
This shit, which has nothing to do with Zoology, is worth 10% of my mark for Zoology. I had to do a similar one halfway through Chemistry.
Fuckng bullshit propaganda I am going to screm
Requesting a c/rant because AAAAAAAA
we do need a c/rant. also fucking zoology? of all the classes.
Seconded, although I will probably accidentally create a new copypasta because hot damn do I have some things to say about the state of even finding a job.
