Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

100% agreed with the opinion, but just as a practical point, talking poorly about people you used to work with (even those who definitely deserve it) is an immediate dealbreaker for a lot of recruiters/HR. So even being valid, talking negatively about other people without employment gaps probably isn't helping you the way it should.
You are correct. I don't do that regularly. That specific time I had already lost the job and I was venting my frustration to this one recruiter who was not going to give me the job due to a job gap. I was trying to talk some sense to him and explain how gaps are a meaningless way to value a human being but I knew it wasn't going to work. I had already lost the job and that was just at the tail end of the conversation.
Ah makes sense, hope they thought on it as they should!
