The fecking hoops you have to jump through to just apply for a job.
The superlative-filled job specs and person specs that accompany every job advertisement. Why do they have to make every vacancy sound as if western civilisation will crash if they can't fill a post with their particular desired image of hyper-motivated beaver drone?
Any recruiter who expects their potential recruits to be 'passionate' about their job or their industry should be crushed like a bug under the weight of superfluous words they expect people to spout in applying. Passion is for lovers you idiots, not for corporate head-nodders. And another thing, not every job is strategic. In fact not every management job is strategic. In fact, here's the killer, most management jobs aren't strategic. Most are about seeing an organisation through the everyday hassles and problems it faces. Go and read Michael Porter to see what strategy is all about before introducing it into every job spec. You'll be amazed at how far removed it is from most people's work experiences.
Their hyperbole serves no useful purpose. It demotivates decent people whilst acting as an incentive to bullshitters and chancers. Here's an idea, just try being honest: we're looking for an ordinary person do an average job for as little money as we can get away with.
Stig Passionate in his hatred of risible recruitment rigmarole
I'd give you your poster of the week award for that. I cannot stand it. Job specs immediately make you feel like an ant I find. This is us, we're the best company in the world, we're going to make you feel like you'd be lucky to apply.
It's a wider problem in business in my opinion. Bullshit and more bullshit. People tripping over themselves to come out with the wankiest possible waffle
With us both feeling the same Cabbles, it's amazing that we both got through the moderator's selection event.

Emirates airlines - charge far more for us in dubai than they do outside of country. Then have the cheek to offer a discounted biz class upgrade with no perks (no Chauffeur or lounge access) after they screw me on the economy ticket!

A step up from a small bag of peanuts
Stay at the hotels where they stop overnight and it is certainly on the menu!
Anyone who uses the following excuses to justify themselves being rude, obnoxious or impatient:
'I'm having a bad day.' 'I didn't sleep well.' 'I'm in a rush.' 'I'm old.'
Those excuses are nonsense. You just think you're somehow superior to the person you're aiming your behaviour towards and you'll get away with it with one of the above reasons.

Really trivialising suicide if you want to call a draft political document a suicide note.
Tories are shit, Labour are shit. This is a shit time for an election. #monsterravinglooneyparty

No consideration for anyone else whatsoever.
Have now looked it up and if you do F4 it brings up the find box.
F5 ruins our take over so be carefull

I don't care who you are but I know you're an absolute class A w@#£€r!

2. When people use the word 'learning' as a noun (specifically a work thing I guess):
"The key learning from this session is..."
Sky haven't mentioned it.
I don't even fucking like cats!
Edited so those with a dirty mind don't pick me up on sentence structure.
