Playing the zero sum game, yes.
Upvoting because I think it's important to talk about this, not because I agree.
Appreciate everyone else's responses around this being a dark pattern where "bad publicity" gets paid off.
How do we incentivize companies to hire people like this? How do as I founder say "I want people like this so that our company is strong, not weak like Shitlassian?"
Is there a role for more anonymity on the internet?
- kelnos 5y agoI think smaller companies might value this sort of thing, but once a company gets large enough to have a big HR department where recruiting reports to HR, people like this get automatically filtered out before anyone with more principles might see them.
- P_I_Staker 5y agoThat’s not necessarily true. I just got hired by <Megacorp>. I don’t have any reason to think I was pre-screened at all. The whole thing seemed very responsible. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a secret thing, but IDK, some things just work like they say. I can’t see it coming up in a background check, since I get the results and a chance to defend myself, but who knows? If / when I got “filtered”, it would probably be later in the process. At some point, we did talk about past employers and why you left… really seem to remember nothing until an offer was extended. I was actually quite surprised by how responsible they were (at a surface level at least).
