Be greatfull you didnt get that position because if they say asking about responsibilities (aka the role) is a no-no, then they’re scamming.
*grateful (as in ‘dead’)
Why protect the identity of the ones saying this? Could save some people wasted time applying, or even worse, someone might even get hired by them.
Be grateful at least you got a reply, instead of getting ghosted
Dodged a bullet!
Keep asking those questions. Any place worth working for will be happy to discuss this openly.
given. if you didn’t know what they wanted by then. don’t ask. fake it till you make it. and they don’t want to start over
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

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.
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.
How do I upvote this twice?
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
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.
the c-suite wouldve likely bounced before that happens. they usually get the heads up before the company goes under.
the C-suite having to do everything
In seconds, how long do you think the company would last?
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.
You dodged a bullet there.
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.
Is that a thing? Anywho… you are correct.
They’re freaking gigantic too. They don’t make them anymore though.
yeah it only becomes a problem when every company realizes they can do this at the same time and so being honest in an interview isn’t an edge anymore, since no one is doing it
That’s code for “we know that nobody would work here if they knew the answers, so we don’t want to tell anyone them”
Yeah. If that’s their response, then Gavin dodged a bullet.
Dodged a bullet.
A tank shell.
a nuclear bomb
A pickled conservative
They don’t like talking about it because every interested candidate becomes uninterested immediately after hearing the pay sucks, the hours suck, and the culture is awful.
You see, we only hire the biggest suckers round here.
I’d say they answered the question about the culture.
And the salary
Salary: no
In Canada, LMIA had been abused to such an extent the foreign workers were paying the employers to establish a foothold in the country.
Yeah more red flags than a Soviet parade imho
Or a MAGA gathering
Task failed successfully. Any company willing to get defensive in writing clearly has some horrific practices.
That is true, but a shitty job is still better than homelessness and starvation, Both dodged a bullet and also really sucks
I personally think a horrible employer is worse than homelessness. I actually spent less time hungry what time I didn’t have a place and always had the shelter at night before getting back on my feet.
Shitty job; I woke up nauseous every morning. Always had this sort of dread. A general depression from the abuse and general humiliation of the workplace. We really know how to grind the average white collar to ash and dump them in the garbage when they get older.
I agree with you 100%, with a small caveat, that it is an individual choice and preference to choose between a shitty job and homelessness. The streets can be hard, and getting back into a house is almost impossibly hard for so many people.
It is a shitty system by design. no good outcomes and arguing about which shitty outcome is less shitty is a waste of time. I really hope you are housed and have a good job.
“So umm hows the weather?”
Im sorry $user But we dont discuss things on this ethereal plane during the interviewing process.
Please stick to astral projection.
