The whole idea is that it shouldn't be a responsibility of a single employee to try to find a less garbage employer with the limited resources and information they have. Even if you are resourceful, hiring literally has it in their job to get you to sign on even for bad conditions - whether it is by shaky contract, things outside the contract, obtuse negotiation structure, hiring freezes with carious excuses, literal ghosting and so on. It takes actual weeks of time to properly research one employer. Perhaps more. Do you feel like moonlighting as a personal investigator for yourself? Or, rich enough to hire a good one?
