As a boomer can someone please explain what "belonging" in the following extract: "Our club values creativity, belonging, and performance..........." means, or is supposed to mean??

Does it mean our club values identifying with the team, or being a team player, or a sense of being part of a community, or a strong but wistful attachment to a sentiment associated with tribalism, or that you guarantee to never leave your job and you will leave your inheritance to the club??? WTF??

Have read and written thousands of job ads over the years, interviewed hundreds of applicants etc, but have never seen such an inexplicably stupid criterion expressed like this before.

Or am I, as described, simply an old grumpy "boomer"?

Not a boomer, just sensible.
What it is is the compulsory virtue-signalling trotted out by 99% of corporate employers. Empty buzz words to appease the loudest in the room.

Big Tech is going through a brutal shake up and I suspect that a lot of it is that the humans have created the platform to make themselves redundant.

Nah just cost of capital. Zero interest rates meant money went chasing growth and tech was the beneficiary. Now yield is more available so that’s where the money is going, standard structural cycle. Tech people just need to ride it out a bit.

Being part of a group I guess, just wishy-washy talk to get the fairies on board

Funny how a word like "belonging" could be so attractive to a generation that loves nothing more than self interest and individualism.

It means the club is seeking a female employee but you can't specify that on an add.

Ran around getting sh*t done today.. Coles... chemist... accountant. Dropped into my girlfriend's house on the way home. She asked wtf was going on with my jeans. They're fairly new but they'd ripped... big time... basically i've been running around all day with my arse hanging out. What undies was I wearing I hear you ask? Pink flamingo ones my boys bought me as a joke, of course.

Good times.

Perhaps we could strip nasty men of their rights for a while and have a free for all sh*tting all over the vile testosterone laden vermin to even things up a bit. You know... just for this month.

What the hell? I had no idea Usman was fighting this weekend, I thought he was out with injury for a long time.

 

[Hubnester]

Now that is some top-shelf satire

 

[austinnn]

I would never give anyone who mentioned "my pronouns" a job, I'd find another more acceptable reason but essentially the only acceptable context for pronouns to come up would be if we were discussing grammar.

Satirical because if she gets a job it's going to be at Hooters not Microsoft.

Some decent fights on the main card Sunday. Vettori-Dolidze, Nelson-Barberena, then the co-main of Gaethje-Fiziev and the main with Edwards-Usman. Main card starts at 8am Vic time, good lead in to the Saints game at 4pm.

Personally think Usman will smoke Edwards, he was dominating the last fight and if not for the head kick late, would've won by UD.

Always enjoyed watching Gunnar so will give that a go, Vettori is a bit of a weirdo so good fun there, and think Gaethje-Fiziev will be fireworks.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Ill be watching for sure

Am I smarter than a Collingwood or Geelong supporter.

Yes.
I push the pedestrian button when they don't.


Seriously leaving the Richmond Club Hotel not one person had hit the pedestrian button when the lights went green.

I of course strut in like a hero and push it triggering the green man.
