What companies are so desperate that they will hire just about anyone?

@Pretzel exactly

@Pretzel @BLP11520 unpopular opinion: management at government agencies are awful people. i find most of the front line government workers are intelligent and want to help you. i own a heavy machinery and metal fabrication business and i deal with permits and bylaws in NY state. the front line clerks at the government are mostly grouchy but when i focus attention to the problem i'm trying to solve they move mountains to help me out. i think it comes with treating them as experts and showing appreciation. imo

@Patriot96 I came here to say that.
