just to get it out of the way: yes, i know i can use a spam email/phone number. yes, i know i can opt out of promotional emails/texts. that doesn’t make it any less frustrating. i don’t need a growing list of empty accounts for websites i only spend an hour (or less) browsing through. don’t even get me started on restaurants that ask for your phone number when you scan their QR code…
Many companies use workday for the job application process, which wants an account. Workday is a steaming pile of garbage.
I cannot stand how they operate over there. I currently have six different Workday accounts, for six different companies. With each, I’ve had to upload my resume and re-create my profile, filling in my experience, education, etc… because their parser blows.
Paychex sucks ass too. And bill.com same thing, had multiple accounts because they can’t figure their shit out.
The worst is when Workday parses your resume wrong and you know you’re gonna have to make the same corrections on every site because God forbid they allow you to upload some different format that is easily machine readable.
Workday also gets mad if your resume has “special characters” in it, like quotation marks. Why they can’t sanitize input themselves, I don’t know. Presumably incompetence.
