Who's ever completely honest about why they left a previous company anyway?
I left a previous position largely because my boss was a psychopath. But I certainly didn't mention that during interviews.
- kafkaesq 9y agoI left a previous position largely because my boss was a psychopath. It's one thing to "simplify", and gloss over the details of what other people did. It's quite another to invert the basic nature of something that you did.
- allover 9y agoYeah agree, but pretty much anything can be "simplified", short of being fired. The "company got acquired, added 'no swear' policies & removed perks' so I said fuck that and left", can be simplified to something vague like "the company got acquired and changed direction (you don't even need to mention culture, but you can), I'm looking for something more like what you're doing here at 'New Company' ... ".
- kafkaesq 9y agoThere's a big gap between "fuck that" and "fuck you", actually.
