It's just a dumb parody piece because the only underlying joke is calling job-seekers lazy.

I thought it was a parody piece about employers wanting you to jump through more and more hoops.

The best parodies are ones where those on both sides of an issue think to themselves, “yes, this exemplifies my argument”.

The title itself is enough to show that it's parody, but what's the intent? It sounds like it was written by recruiters / people who think cover letters are necessary. They arent.
