>Interview is a 2-way process and it seems a lot of people have bought into some of the kool aid. What too many people choose to forget or ignore is employment itself (at least in CA) is a 2-way process. The employer is not doing you a favor by employing you, despite how many people have drank the kool-aid to the contrary. You and the company have entered into a mutually beneficial agreement. Unfortunately, many people don't have the means or desire to walk away when an employer veers into "you should be thankful we let you work here" territory.
