Like a 950 caliber bullet. Depending on the work, a company like that is going to be just as effective as making someone go splat.

If this is the kind of worker you want you should probably be pursuing an AI or real robotics to do your job and that of your underlings.

Have you ever managed to get robots? I feel like the managers dream of effective and obedient workers is impossible. It's like the triangle.

You have competence, cheapness, and honesty, pick 2.

Is the workers being done and they are doing so cheaply then you can guarantee they're either stealing from you or would be perfectly happy to take bribes.

If you've got an honest effective workforce then you're going to have to pay for it.

And if you've got a cheap and honest workforce they are absolutely not doing the job correctly (and you're probably hiring consultants from Bangladesh or something)

As a manager, I disagree.

Anyone that isn't asking basic shit about the job is either an idiot or dishonest and I don't want them on my team. Provide honest answers to these questions immediately, ESPECIALLY work culture and responsibilities. Salary may not be appropriate at this specific stage in the interview, but if it's the third round or later, it needs to be discussed.

EDIT: depends what type of team you manage I think...

Sounds like you had some shitty managers. That’s about as dumb as saying that all people interviewing are lazy people with no work ethics and just want to don nothing and get paid.

Based on this screenshot the candidate dodged a bullet because this particular manager/company sounds terrible.

I'm a manager and I do not think like that at all. I want people with the right skillset who can do their job well without babysitting, and I strive to pay them as much I can with the budget.

It's so fucking hard to find someone who's not a fucking idiot that if I get one I'll do everything I can to make sure they stay.

I've found that bad managers tend to think that they are looking for an ideal candidate. That candidate is mind numbingly obsessed with working for them that they will degrade themselves for the opportunity to work for their company. Like they hear fake stories from CEOs and influencers about how when they were working they worked all day every day and skipped lunch to make sure they were the best employee in the company and believe that if you just interview hard enough you'll find that golden idiot.

As soon as you deviate from that, the manager tells themself "well, this person asked about the work hours and overtime policy, clearly they aren't ready to work 10 hours a day for no extra pay." And anyone they do hire will never be enough.

This is exactly why it should be legally mandated to discuss those things during the interview process.

I feel like people block out names way to often now. I they felt comfortable enough to send this email, I'm sure they'd feel comfortable with it being shared with others, right?

It's common practice now. I've been interviewing for over 4 months, and ask these kinds of questions every time (except for the salary). Over a dozen interviews, and not once has there been even a hint of relucrance to respond.

Op dodged a crap company

the c-suite wouldve likely bounced before that happens.

I honestly just assume its fake when they dont name drop. I have no doubt it happens, but its just rage bait without any context.
