Especially because they are only 3 chaps ahead of the officials. I've decided to only read the official releases.

Same, fuck the ai scanners

Please share some insider knowledge, I’m so curious as to how wildly inaccurate some of these scenes are! lol

Yes haha

Havent read the chapter yet but the UN is much more informal and messy than you think at times and sometimes it's also very formal. Depends on the country, the situation, the very people involved and the part of the UN (main UN general assembly, Security council le one of the organizations) etc.

So there is no "typical" experience an employee can give you that is most accurate. In general people are right about how they imagine high institutions, they're just wrong about the situation they imagine them in.

Or rather I should say "context" more than situation.

And in case you ask, I know this because I've had friends work at different levels of the UN with different legitimacy. And they all had a very different experience of it depending on how high they were working in the institution and their role.

I will say though as a general direction: anything involving any type of military is almost ALWAYS the messiest, that and anything involving in directly managing the money.

The rest is more chill.

First author should've gone for some other made up UN agency instead of HRDO because HR folks in the UN are just boring.

It's not as exciting like the work makes it out to be. At least for UNDP, UNESCAP, UNIDO, etc they pretty much work just like the government so it's messy and bureaucratic which is why it's useless.

And no you can't beat up your teammates or stab them they have an actual process for that and you'll get sent to the HR for that.

The UN, at least IOM, doesn't have a brochure for its onboarding it's online.

Most of the UN staff would either be administrative or technical and field staff are also technical they don't train military, if it's referencing the peacekeeping forces. They're there to keep the peace not throw grenades

That's the problem the UN doesn't have any military and it can't mobilize the military in the way you'd think that's exactly why it's useless. It's a diplomatic forum first so it's really just a bunch of people sending strongly worded emails in hopes of preventing a war with prayers and emails

I know all that, along with solving major diplomatoc dispute in the hallways

As for the military, I also know all that and more: they dont have their own military, they use member States' military forces, which is exactly why it's so messy in the first place. And no the way I think is exactly the useless way it's mobilized in. I've had the opportunity

Not only it isnt useful in a classic military sense, but it isnt useful in the way it is intended either. Sometimes it's actually the opposite

Forget the opportunity thing, I aint finishing my sentence ain't tryna be recognized but well you probably know what Im talking about
