    Youth of today is naturally comfortable with 'big corporates' and their brands.

    Their entire life is essentially documented and available for people to see online on their FB and twitter, so they do what they can to gloss up the shop window and make themselves employable.

    No-ones' going to get a reasonable job at big employers if you start slagging off everyone as a 'corporate shill' ;)

    But maybe that's a debate for another part of the forum.

    Here's a newer pet hate.

    Riders who don't give interviews at the finish line/ start line.

    Wait, showing that you like brands makes you employable now?

    No, but the reverse makes you unemployable to similar brands.

    If I start kicking off as a 15 year old about how awful fast food chains are on twitter I suspect my application to Burger King grad scheme aged 20 will not go quite as well... everything's searchable.

    Not necessarily. A company might actually want to hire someone who was critical of their brand/product because they might bring insight that would help improve company performance.
