What does that actually mean? The fact you're using language like, "cog in the machine" is already telling me a lot about why companies don't want to hire you. If you told us exactly where the process breaks down for you and why with illustrative examples, we might be able to help you identify where it's going wrong for you. But tip 1, companies hire people who are positive about how they can contribute and work within an org.

Literally came here for the same thing. Went to their blog and saw that a programming language is "dead to [them]" because the organization behind the language doesn't like guns. WUT

I never asked why I can't get a job. I merely said that I can't. I know I'm not a good fit in sterile workplaces.

There might be people outside of the conference targeting attendees.

Let me be completely clear with you: you are the danger to others when you bring a concealed firearm to a conference.

There might be people outside of the conference targeting attendees? That is the talk of someone who walks around life haunted by fear.

No, it's the talk of someone who lived in a dangerous neighborhood.
