This Coworker Really Needs To Apply Themself
I work in the office section of a large British retail chain.
Coworker: “Have you seen all these job applications I have to go through! I can’t read any of ’em!”
Me: “I thought they all came in via an online form?”
Coworker: “They do! But they got all them immigrant names that I can’t pronounce!”
Me: “Well then, it’s a good thing it isn’t your job to pronounce their names, just to read their qualifications.”
Coworker: “It’s just so many immigrants now! Why can’t any of the British people apply for the jobs?”
Me: “You mean the minimum-wage, night-shift, checkout jobs? Yeah, good luck.”
Coworker: *Deep sigh.* “If I could find a country that didn’t take immigrants, I’d move there in a heartbeat.”
Me: “…”
Coworker: “What?”
Me: “I really don’t think you’re qualified to be judging the abilities of job applicants…”
