Does Being Frustrated or Aggravated on a Post Show a Lack of Professionalism?

Should aggravation and frustration reflect in post venues on how people really feel toward job-seeking and how they're being treated by asking for communication or should it be stifled and kept quiet since prospective employers and recruiters may use the information in judging people?

I would hope and I know it's not always so, that any potential employer just as any potential good recruiter doesn't take the frustration and aggravation that people impose on a discussion as nothing more than what it is. As I've stated in previous posts with all due respect to all those already employed feeding there families, paying their bills; I don't think anything anyone speaks or spoke about is meant directly, but how business is handled.

As a potential interviewee, a potential customer/client in future associations I would think that companies and recruiters would take their jobs quite professional and actually use threads to help them gain the trust of people/customers for use down the road. Particularly a discussion like some threads would be a map for "how do we do business" and "let's focus on being as professional as we can by using this information to make us better or make our company tops amongst the rest" Surveys are sent out by top companies from around the world asking "How are we doing". Well understanding what's being asked, then a thread should say a lot about "How are we doing" and not directly take it out against the people posting the unhappiness.

People are hungry, want to work and as a professional to a professional (companies, recruiters, etc) people want to be treated as professionals and not as cattle. That's not to much to ask. If in short the least people could be told during an initial conversation/interview/contact "Mr Doe, I apologize if you don't hear from me, but because of the present economic downturn our/my office has been completely backlogged so we're unable to answer everyone directly with information about where they stand on this position I'm interviewing you for, but understand that if you are qualified as the next step up toward this position, I will be in contact with you". You're interviewing/ talking to the person anyway, why can't something be respectably stated and the tone toward this particular group may subside knowing that people are now aware and won't be sitting around waiting.

If all the data that fills everyone's mailbox everyday states, follow-up, be persistence, don't you believe these professional societies and/or companies as professionals should show a slight bit of consideration towards professionals, other than a cold shoulder or quit asking for recommendations toward people who might know someone and quit filling mailboxes with bogus information that doesn't work or no one has intention on using?

I'm sure these people including myself on these threads don't want to see anyone fail or fall short of being jobless meaning recruiters also. In turn that's all people are speaking about is a little professionalism from those that have the ability in the positions they are in to show how professional they truly are and show a little compassion.

In concluding, I truly hope whomever reads these threads from the people they are/have interviewed shows a little professionalism and stops and realizes "I'm dealing with a professional and I can understand the frustrations that has built up over time and how much this person I'm interviewing or have interviewed really wants to work and bring his/her professionalism on board".
