Job Stalking

Job Stalking is the phenomenon of employers viewing your job application repeatedly for some reason, but then never reaching out to you in any way. They will view your application multiple times for no reason . One theory is that they see you are qualified, but are biased against folks with a lot of education and not much experience. They want to value your education, but will not reach out because of political correctness and age discrimination for younger recent college grads.

Eric applied to a job on Zip Recruiter for an entry level IT position. The employer kept viewing his application and a notice kept showing up on Eric's phone that his application had been viewed by the employer who's job he applied to. Eric was worried about Job Stalking.

Job Rot

The slow, soul-crushing decay of a person’s motivation, ambition, and mental well-being due to being trapped in a mind-numbing, dead-end job. Symptoms include excessive daydreaming, existential dread, and refreshing LinkedIn out of pure desperation.

The process of a job itself becoming obsolete, pointless, or unbearably toxic over time.
The overwhelming sense of burnout and detachment from corporate life.

1. The job rot is hitting hard and I wanna quit."
2. "She used to be so ambitious, but five years in middle management gave her job rot."
