HOW "DEAD WEIGHT FALLS AND IT SETS YOU FREE"

Q: I had been out of work in my industry since Feb 2020. I spent the entire time sending out resumes to countless job postings. I would often send my resume out to 200+ job listings and not even receive a single interview. During the entire period, I probably had 3-4 real legitimate interviews. In one of them the guy interviewing me was some schmuck who I replaced in a prior job that I was eventually let go from due to internal politics and bullshit outside of my abilities. So this guy basically already had a bad opinion about me, and I knew I wasn't going to get that job.  I've felt essentially blacklisted from my industry despite the fact that I never once got written up or reprimanded in my previous position at Apple.

A lot of the social bullying behavior some people exhibit these days flies in the face of the "anti-bullying" movements spawned from the same generation. Bullying has not dissappeared, it just moved from direct verbal or physical abuse to indirect social media mob mentality and cancel culture which is just as damaging, if not more-so, due to the fact that indirect communication by it's very nature is an attempt to manipulate people without allowing them to address the situation directly.

As anyone who has watched non-professional hockey leagues where fighting is not allowed knows that the cheap shots taken when the referee isn't looking cause far worse injuries than two combatants settling their differences directly with the spotlights on them.
