10 months agoand isn’t that how a lot of cults work? “if our tried-and-true method doesn’t work for you, it’s because you aren’t trying hard enough or giving us enough money! give us some more and we’ll send you a workbook on where you’re going wrong! prove to us that you’re worthy!” it’s sickening really seeing generation after generation get sucked into this spiral where the only reason bad things happen is because you didn’t stay positive enough
i was always under the impression that it was to keep unemployed men from killing themselves/riding the rails during the great depression by assurinf them they could get a job through being positive and friendly. i dont remember if it went any better than now when older relatives tell job seekers now to just go in and ask for a job.
