It's an interesting way to spell "corruption".
- hn_version_0023 2y agoKnowing someone inside an organization is corruption? I don’t buy it; please explain how having human connections is corrupt.
- esafak 2y agoBecause he did not get the job for what he knows, but who. Another candidate of equal knowledge, without the privilege of his connections, would not have succeeded.
- hn_version_0023 2y agoI’m sorry I do not buy this as a form of “corruption”. Employers aren’t obligated to create perfectly leveled fields for candidates to apply on, especially when candidates are using AI to gin up fake resumes. Perhaps in some fields this is a legal obligation, but I don’t think that is what we’re discussing. If the world were both good and just then perhaps I could hop on board. But it most certainly isn’t. Frankly, saying so sounds like sour grapes.
- endtime 2y agoThat's a very odd take, not what I meant at all. All it got me was an interview, and then I went through the standard process, at two different companies.
- ghaff 2y agoAnd "corruption" is an interesting way of saying that you don't think personal connections should pay into business decisions but I realize many folks in tech roles think that way.
- throwawayq3423 2y agoHiring a rando is always a risk, you want some kind of social proof normally. And if you've spent an entire career without developing that kind of proof, well that's a red flag.
- John_Cena 2y agoYeah we refuse the ethics-twisting of suits; that much is certain.
