![]() ![]() So you quit and you have no plan, now what? Stepping off the ledge and quitting your job without a backup plan can be terrifying, but until you can walk from a toxic work environment, you may never know how liberating (and healing) it can be, so let’s take a look at what you should consider having in place prior to quitting and how you can be transparent about the gap in your resume during your next interview.įirst of all, let’s all collectively admit that it is no longer the 70s, 80s, 90s, or even the oughts, so in this gig-economy, leaving a job without a backup plan is no longer the pariah it used to be, but that doesn’t mean gaps in resumes aren’t looked at by potential employers. In fact, resume bots have taken the place of the HR department, or at least has made resume culling process easier for us humans looking for potential employees, and these bots can spot gaps and immediately eliminate your resumes chances of ever being reviewed by a human.Īccording to a recent article on Glassdoor called, ‘Can Your Resume Beat the Bots? How to Make it ATS-Friendly,” estimates that approximately “95% of Fortune 500 companies currently use an ATS to manage their applicant tracking process.” Janie, not her real name, is a single mom living paycheck to paycheck trapped in an abusive workplace that demands 12 hour days and a workload that could not be accomplished by the already understaffed department. Turnover was reaching 150% in a 6 month period in her department alone managed by a boss that kept threatening to give everyone zero hours if they didn’t loosen up their already generous availability. Fed up with endless nights of no sleep, she gave her two weeks’ notice, but was asked to leave immediately so they didn’t have to pay her two more weeks.įast forward a year and Janie is living her best life. Since then, we’ve seen a lot of this show’s shit trolling which doesn’t bother me at all.“I can’t do this anymore Claire,” my friend said about her job, “…my boyfriend keeps telling me I can’t quit my job without having another one already in place, but I can’t even get up in the morning,” she continued in tears. When questioned about it, series creator Hayden Black said: "I was definitely thrown those first few hours as I’d never seen this type of hatred before and my knee-jerk reaction was to delete virtually every comment. The Mary Sue even interviewed members of the show's staff about said trolling. The Mary Sue later ran an article in August 2015 discussing the attention the series was receiving from the likes of 4chan, 8chan, and Encyclopedia Dramatica, criticizing the users of said sites for trolling the social media pages relating to the show and "harassing" the staff. Social media pages for Gen Zed were eventually flooded with troll responses from people from various parts of the internet, such as spamming transphobic and antisemitic remarks at Julie Rei Goldstein, or the Encyclopedia Dramatica Twitter calling for people to flag the show's debut trailer in an effort to get it taken down (below, middle). The official Gen Zed Tumblr responded to these accusations by stating that neither voice actor voiced a "main character," and thus their "first animated series with a transgender voice actor in a starring role" claim is "accurate." The claim was found to be especially strange for places such as Encyclopedia Dramatica when it was discovered Casey Mangillo herself is a voice actor on Gen Zed. Fans of the webseries TOME, created by animator Kirbopher, also disputed this claim when voice actor Casey Mongillo came out as a transwoman. ![]() The show also came under fire for claiming to be the "first animated series with a transgender voice actor in a starring role." This claim was disputed by fans of series such as the anime adaptation of Pokemon, which featured the late Maddie Blaustein, a tranwoman, as the voice of the popular character Meowth. Promotional material was also heavily criticized for putting a heavy focus on the show's transgender character Shona, leading to accusations that the series wouldn't even be anything special had said character not been present at all. Criticisms of the show include aspects such as the animation and character designs, derided for looking like a "generic" flash animated cartoon done by people new to the medium. Not long after the release of Gen Zed's debut trailer, 4chan and 8chan's Comics and Cartoons boards, /co/, took notice of the series, and a page for Gen Zed was created on the website Encyclopedia Dramatica. The series was announced On Jwith a debut trailer (below), and is currently slated to premiere sometime in 2016. ![]()
