We learned that a lot of jobs are this thanks to the RTO mandates after COVID-19 pressured companies to let everyone telecommute when possible.

Two things seemed to mainly motivate people to return to office, even though it cost more in commute time and fuel and workers productivity suffered at the office. One was that companies were still leasing office space that was now mostly empty, and that made upper management sad. And the other is that a lot of clerical jobs are just there as the entourage of executive aristocracy.

The boss missed forcing his secretary to fetch him coffee on command.

I hate when companies do this at conventions.

A few times I approached a booth because I heard some good things about them. More often than not it's an attractive woman who stands there all bubbly to attract engineers. I ask technical questions about the product because I assume that this person wearing the company's shirt that they actually know something. But then they shepard me to toward the technical staff who are exactly who you expect them to be.

One time this happened I asked them why they aren't at the front talking to people and they said their managers wanted someone who could pull people in. I figured out then that the eye candy weren't even employees at the company.

I live in New York. The story is that a young English woman comes to New York on vacation. Meets people and has a great time. when it's time for her to leave someone suggests she look for a job. In those days if you had a job you could get a green card pretty easily. She goes to a job agency and gets offers right away.

She gets a job at a prestigious firm. The bosses tell her it's because her English accent is really classy and improves their image.

The joke is that at home people would know that her accent is not posh at all, but to New Yorkers she sounds like Lady Diana

My face when

Me except the vibes are depression and the outfit inspo is what the power rangers normally wear when they're at school.
