Fucking Workday. I hate them so much. I'm applying for jobs right and left right now and half of them use Workday as a job application system and Workday is so shitty that you have to register individual accounts for half of the job applications but can re-use one you created elsewhere for the other half. And it's not even clear when that is necessary to do until after you try to log in and are rejected.
That is some supremely shitty coding. Either that or some sort of intentional thing that I cannot fathom.
Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity
This is a very outdated idea in our present political and economic climate. The driving principle behind all our problems is very definitely malice, even if it's couched by several layers of obfuscation. The economic and political system is designed to extract wealth for the ultra rich at the expense of everybody else. That leads to behaviours that will be toxic and damaging, even if the given individual didn't have any malicious intent.

I don't think there was malice. I'm thinking it's stupidity either way. If it was intentional, the intent is almost certainly stupid.
