My big one is that they need to stop asking why I applied for their company. The real answer is I want a new job, and I blasted out a hundred applications. I didn't choose your company specifically.

I used to be the same way where I utilized LinkedIn and I've been on the platform for a long time, but the hoarding of data and now their partnership with Amazon to access that data, I'm just sick of being for sale, especially since we don't even profit from it ourselves! It's OUR data from OUR lives, yet we're not allowed to keep it ours. So, I finally ditched it a couple months ago.

I know it has value, but I'm going to utilize a federated version or stand up my own Domain and link it that way.
