This is what I'm thinking. I have no realistic way of proving it. Like in no way would I want to work in a culture like that. It just feels kinda slimy. Like "your ideas are valuable, but you're not."
- dyingkneepad 2y agoWhy slimy? They asked a question and you answered without charging for it. It's not their fault.
- interviewwtf 2y agoIdk I at least would've taken a "thank you for the idea". It's medical related so like I'm happy that I can help people. But, at least say thank you.
- richard___ 2y agoObviously they cant do that. Would be inviting a lawsuit.
- ok_dad 2y agoNo! This attitude is why we’re moving to a low trust situation in the modern world: because no one holds any morals and values beyond “get what’s yours”. People shouldn’t treat other people like this! Name and shame them, OP.
- beefnugs 2y agoYeah the best you could do is devote your entire life to hurting them specifically: find out their customers, undercut their service fees. Poach their employees. Use software tools to overwhelm their hiring process with ruses. Get into their supply chain and increase their costs. Find out where the high level executives get their vices and disrupt them. But would be a total psycho with an exhausting life for most people... So best to just learn that ideas are a dime a dozen, dont give them out for free if they are good

- arp242 2y agoIt's entirely possible they liked your idea but didn't think you were a good fit for other reasons. Or they found someone else who is a better fit. Or someone else had the same idea. I don't think they should be obliged to hire you just because you had this one idea that helped them. It's possible they were not interviewing you in good faith, but just wanted free advice. But that's impossible to prove, and several other explanations that don't require bad faith are entirely plausible.
