Kink at pride is more than just an expression of passion, it's an act of defiance against the rising tide of corporate pride. Every motherfucker who's fighting for more sanitized queer spaces is inadvertently leaving the door open for corpos to swoop in and squeeze us for every penny we're worth.
Especially when most of these jobs are lowballing already, then you see them advertised two weeks later at an even lower salary. Idk I'm rapidly losing hope at this point, and leaving the sector I've been in most of my adult life is like... where do I go?
Job hunting in my sector is incredibly discouraging- 75% overall reduction in funding, driving being required for even entry level non-client-facing roles, "hybrid working" being bait & switch for "multiple locations"- and the increasingly vicious rejections are making me give up automatically.
