I'll start with my own little story. I just came back from one. It's a small business, vaping startup I think. They're looking for someone to help with office work and deal with outside stuff. So apparently my interview wasn't going well cause I'm a fuckin neeerd with a college degree, while the two doods seem who interviewed me look like the bullies and trouble makers in high school.
The thing that turned me off is when they asked if I can handle "occasional harsh words". Like, be honest with me dude - you meant "will I shut up and take verbal abuse". I left with a distinct feeling they won't be calling me back, saying I got the job, but I sure as hell am not taking it if they do want me to.
P/S I don't smoke, vape or even drink. I only ever sucked dick, which is forever yummy
If management wound back the recruitment process, might that tip off employees to upcoming layoffs?
Yeah, I think that could happen if they’re not careful about it. I still think it’s a shitty thing to do
Yeh - sorry it happened to you. It is shitty.
