you greatly underestimate how far these companies will go to find new suckers
they were bluffing to get your sympathy so you don't pull your application, because they are aware candidates question their ethics
> I wish I got that job
see, worked
- pyuser583 5y agoI don’t see how it’s bluffing to say “yes, there’s bad stuff, you don’t have to like it.” “Bluffing” means faking something to get an advantage. So you think the company was filled with sadists who were trying to appear to be sympathetic to make hiring easier? It’s pretty easy to say “full disclosure, some stuff sucks. It’s ok to hate it, we all hate it. Just hold your nose and do it anyway.” Why fake that attitude? What advantage does the alternative present?
- ushakov 5y agoit is bluffing when you admit wrongdoing but then keep doing it the advantage you get is a larger candidate pool who are more sympathetic with your company now after you portrayed yourself as a victim of circumstances outside your control, aka. "It's not us, anybody is doing it!" in reality nobody forced that company to adopt the business model, which OP described as unethical ever heard of Stockholm Syndrom?
