Recruiter sends job-seeking employee’s CV to their current boss, leading to increased micromanagement and workplace anxiety

The job market is a treacherous battlefield where workers are foot soldiers in a never-ending war for survival. Bosses command from their fortified bunkers, wielding power like generals pumped on authority, while employees march in formation, trying to dodge the barrage of orders from above. Recruiters act as mercenaries, roaming the digital no-man's-land, luring unsuspecting troops with promises of better rations and cushy assignments. They offer mirages of greener base camps and bigger paychecks but often deliver nothing but false intelligence and wasted surveillance.

In this war-torn landscape, loyalty is as outdated as trench warfare, and job security is as reliable as a rusted bayonet. Workers are expected to charge into combat, sacrifice their mental well-being, and salute with a smile while being barked at like fresh recruits. Commanding officers demand unwavering obedience while offering little beyond the privilege of not being court-martialed.

The job market is hostile enough without recruiters sabotaging workers' missions. Enter our battle-weary soldier drowning in a dugout of workplace misery. Desperate for extraction, they reach for the lifeline offered by a LinkedIn mercenary. But the enemy, ever vigilant, intercepts the message.
