I have worked for three companies over the past decade, well the second one was an acquisition, anyway, only the last one asked me why I want to work there, I gave an honest answer, it was easy to answer because I grew up reading about things they do.
Last month I was laid off among many other during this AI race. And I was given something called a score sheet to tell me why I was selected, while the performance score was maximum, I was not not "flexible" enough. The only thing I could think off is the conversation I had with my manager about the direction the company is going towards, but alas they went on a holiday after scoring me.
The companies might want smart and passionate people, but they never want smart, passionate, and honest people. If you don't have a brown tongue, you'll not survive.
- mnsc 2y agoI'm a very honest person and I would say that it is _with_ a brown tounge that you will not survive. Dying a bit every day you keep playing along with the new direction that you genuinely don't believe in. Rather you should just switch job to one where you can be honest and contribute happily for some years.
