Am I understanding this logic? Are you saying let’s keep terrible, arguably pointless interview processes and needless gate keeping because there are other bad things in this world?
- bradlys 4y agoNo, I’m saying there are bigger fish to fry. LC is easy compared to this other shit. LC makes your job search terrible. The work culture makes your life terrible.
- mountainriver 4y agoCultures that accept LC are more likely to make your life terrible. I work for a company that pays well and doesn’t do LC because of all the obvious reasons, and that is a representation of the culture.

- knorker 4y agoSometimes you have to do the stupid thing because the boss or the client tells you to. Some of those times you get to say "I told you so", later. But the reason you get paid is because someone wants to pay you to do it. You can try to convince them to do it right, but in the end it's their money. Do you want it? When you have the control you can try to make the better hiring system, but since you're asking i assume you're not in a position to dump your balls on the table and say you won't play their game, but they should still hire you. It's a gamble to as your first impression show that you're not a team player.
- mountainriver 4y agoExactly, yeah let’s all keep going along with this nonsense cause ya know?
