Would be nice to name drop these kinds of assholes.

I would love for them to not find a single worker to fill this position and people gradually leaving until it's just a husk with the C-suite having to do everything or the company just disappearing

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.

Based on a true story

Don't doubt that each of those things were used by various companies to not hire people, but listing them all at once in a rejection letter that no companies send anymore is a bit too on the nose.

It may be, but key words are "it happens".

This is anecdotal, but when I got my very first job interview at a somewhat big local company back when I was 19, the interviewer was apparently very eager to hire me, until I mentioned the salary topic, then her face changed from excited to like "rude, we're not hiring this guy" almost immediately.

I would name drop them if I remembered the company name.

They ghosted me tho

Why do HR people seem to think that anyone's primary motivation for working is something other than the paycheck?

I have absolutely loved my last three jobs. Some days at my best job didn't even feel like work at all. But I would not keep going back if they stopped paying me.

TBH, I could accept a lower wage (but not by much, and certainly not under minimum wage) if they offered a good work environment, reasonable hours or other niceties, but this was probably not the case

[–] nickiwest@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

The job I referred to as "my best job" was also the lowest-paying. Great work environment, awesome hours, decent benefits.

But I would not have continued going there to do my job if they stopped paying me.

How do I upvote this twice?

the C-suite having to do everything

In seconds, how long do you think the company would last?

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago (1 children)

If it were the c-suite at the company I work at they'd go under in less than a month, they are all nepo hires and dumb as bricks.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 7 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

the c-suite wouldve likely bounced before that happens. they usually get the heads up before the company goes under.

They'll just ask the government for more immigrant visas since no Americans will work for them. Sort of like US farm labor operates today.
