Actor Out of Work — HR Song of the Week
St. Vincent provides this week’s song. Though some have interpreted it as being about a romance gone bad, it’s hard for me to see it that way, particularly in light of the video below. It’s about employees (or actors) out of work, who must endure humiliating interviews. “You’re a supplement, you’re a salve. You’re a band aid, pull it off. I can quit you, cut it out. You’re a cast signed broken arm. You’re a liar and that’s the truth.” Have a look and listen, and see what you think.
