Tonight I'm reading about Phatics, which are "communication which primarily serves to establish or maintain social relationships. .... They can be observed in everyday conversational exchanges, as in, for instance, exchanges of social pleasantries that do not seek or offer information of intrinsic value but rather signal willingness to observe conventional local expectations for politeness."

@benetnasch I wrote a rant in a free text field at the end just a little while ago because they had a bunch of "Did you work for us before?" type questions and then a mandatory "What role did you do when you worked for us before?" text field AFTER I SAID NO. There were probably 3 questions like that in a row and I applied for probably half a dozen jobs using that terrible form.....
