everywhere is also incentivized to make the process as bad as possible so people aren’t casually switching jobs when one presents intolerable conditions

I saw a story posted on the internet, take it for what it’s worth.

Boss boasts that he told people coming for the interview to come to the office at 9 am, and then waited for hours until all but one left. He claimed he wanted to hire someone with patience. The commnets said he wanted to hire someone desperate and spineless.

Hahaha holy fuck I’m glad I work in construction right now. If an interview started out like this I would be totally fine telling people off.
