Kafka is one way to look at it, but if anything the description of the process evokes The Good Place to me.
It must be an accident that the process is so catastrophically bad that it leaves new hires drained and crying. But you'd almost start to wonder how much worse you could really make it, if you were optimizing for "plausibly deniable torment”. I don't have it in me to imagine how.
- crooked-v 5y agoWell, as one prerequisite for further torment, you'd need a system that actually allows employees to work for some period of time, rather than the first-day experience being "lol I dunno, also figure it out yourself or you're fired".
- Doxin 5y agoJust because they say he would be fired does not make it so. We don't know what sort of follow-up torture was planned if the original poster didn't just up and leave.
- chaorace 5y agoI imagine you could get a lot of mileage out of a "documentation fuzzer". If you hire employees in batches, simply swap x% of the field values between each of their onboarding papers and then enjoy the show!
