It will ensure you don’t get hired is all it will do.
I would ask if they would rather an employee who is skilled and will do fair work for fair pay or if they want someone who will say anything to get paid.
If you don't need the money right now, you can dodge bullets.
"We opened a position in response to feedback from the person whose former role you're interviewing for."
"You increased staffing?"
"No. We created an opening in response to their feedback."
They promoted that former person to customer.
"We fixed the glitch"
He fed us a suggestion, then we kicked his back.
We politely asked him not to leave an ass print on the door on his way out, because we're a family here.
Oh yes, this is delicious! I'm making a note now.
does the bathroom have a good fart fan
Or at least an air freshener...
"Employees were complaining about low morale. So we threw them a mandatory after work pizza party for team building! It was a real hit, almost everyone showed up!"

If i wanted to be jobless, sure. lol
Don't be so sure. Honestly, even if this question would have made me feel uncomfortable in the moment, I can tell you that it would elevate my opinion of any candidate I was interviewing because it's actually a very thoughtful but also important thing to consider. I actually can't recall at the moment anybody ever asking something like this in any interview I've done -- normally it's the basic stuff like "do you like working here" or "can you walk me through your typical day" kind of questions.

It behooves you to ask the interviewer some questions, too. It helps to give you an idea about whether or not you want to work there.
There were definitely times when I had a bad interview, I still got the job, and I wished that I hadn't. Don't ignore warning signs because you're desperate! Sometimes it's better to have no job at all.
For the people that can't afford not to take the crappy job, sometimes it's best to just take it but keep looking for something better. Not everybody has money in the bank to be picky about employment.

Thank you.
People who post shit like this seem to think the streets are littered with such a rich variety of job offers that we can pick out the best ones like we’re shopping for avocados, completely oblivious to the fact that the vast, vast majority of us need a job right fucking now to survive, and are going to happily snag the first offer we get no matter what evil fuck it’s for.
I've been there, too. I ignored warning signs because I was desperate, and then wished I hadn't later. Saying that you will accept any job that comes your way is a good route to getting fucked over.
You might think that you need the money, but it really isn't worth it when you lose your job a week later and your temp agency won't answer your calls anymore. There are some crazy, toxic workplaces out there.
Remember post COVID how people were quiet quitting and CEO's were talking about how workers had too much power?
I remember.

You're right. Better to lick the boot. Don't even think about saying anything that might even be slightly uncomfortable, just accept what they let you have and be happy, right? Fuckin scab

If nobody ever questioned anything, nothing would ever change. Be the change you want to see, and stop shitting on people for actually standing up for something.
