Yes and no; what do I mean with that...yes, it looks like the system it's fundamentally broken and at the same time, no it's not because it has always been this way, thus the expected output.
The problem with it right now is that history repeat itself, as the current market symptoms are the same (more or less) as those back in 2000 when dot com bubble was about to burst!
They were asking for unrealistic stuff and you could tell from the amount of money poured in the tech industry that something was completely off, which eventually confirmed everyone's suspicion.
I have been looking for a job myself for a while now and let me tell you, it's a complete mad chaos out there, especially with the AI frenzy everyone and their mother is talking about.
Hold on tight, don't stop and keep on looking for anything, until the storm calms down.
I don't think that's a UK thing, but rather just a close friends thing, which I experienced across multiple cultures. I recall a particular incident as a kid when my dad forcefully told me "Don't talk to me like that; I'm not your friend" and that stuck with me - you need to adapt your tone to the audience.
The last thing I expected was to get downvoted for just saying "English language can be a landmine if you are not careful, especially as a foreigner! lol".
English language uses words such as pussy that supposedly mean a cat, but at the same time they interpret it as vagina; another word is the name Dick which also is being used to mean phallus!
Meanwhile, I get downvoted for commenting the obvious thing which is, English language is absurdly confusing for me as a foreigner and have no idea what to say without offending every English speaker!
