Hiring...my partner had an interview booked for a Friday at 5pm. The interviewer didn't show up. My partner end up emailing the person, whom apologised and then jumped on a 10m call, 10m before 6pm. My partner, as I do, spend a lot of time researching the company, preparing for the interview, etc.
How many countless stories like that exist?
For example, people messaging for a chat "found your work on project X and saw your github account and found about your past projects, we are looking for some one like you", then on the day "oh sorry to let you know last minute but X and Y happened".
Bunch of time wasters! This is the reality!
Once in the job, it's funny to see who actually does the work. Zero contributions for days, etc.
There are a lot of people out there handling these processes and they are bad, really bad!
