Or, their hiring managers are very experienced and are basing this on decades of industry experience over many different managerial positions. They have learned the best practices for employee retention and dismissal over time, so they know to mention this now.

- jader201 11y agoEven if this were true -- which is debatable -- I think the much more likely scenario is that the employer has had problems in the past, and very possibly in the present (whether the fault of the employer and/or employee(s)). Regardless, I just don't think it would be worth risking highly talented candidates (rightly) misinterpreting bringing up the topic of firing during an interview as an indicator of a toxic environment, and therefore think this is not very sound advice.
- geebee 11y agoI agree, but imagine if instead of getting this speech during the interview, you got it the first day on the job. I suppose in that case I'd still have the option of calling my old employer and asking for my job back, or maybe an employer I'd turned down to ask if the job is still available.
