so that person is both wasting people's time, and possibly making their current team feel unnerved and replacable. galaxy brain move truly

    Meh, they're just hiding the obvious - if they found a good candidate they'd hire them. It's a gentle rejection.

    This appears to go over our linkedin mastermind over there though, and proceeds to write a self-help book about it...

    If they straight up admitted they wasted my time, I'd steal a printer or something on the way out.

    With how printers are nowadays, that printer would probably try to get a GPS lock, or failing that, scan all devices nearby to try to determine its whereabouts, then capture your ID, face and any sensitive information it could, and start extorting your for more yellow ink...

    Most religions "ask" you to not be a dick head, while constantly psychologically encouraging you to be a turbo dick head, even promoting you if you're a big enough dick.

    Waste people's time and give them false hope. Great moral

    I don't understand how exit interviews are a thing. Ehy would anyone go to one? I'm leaving the company, I don't owe you shit. Hell, I stopped putting in 2 week notices 20 years ago. These corporations don't care about me so I don't owe them shit.

    I've had exit interviews, and I've had jobs where I wish there was an exit interview. It's possible to give feedback without burning bridges, and I don't think I've ever left a job on bad terms.

    Exit interviews are a signature quest. They need you to sign some NDA so you can't bitch about the reeeeally sketchy stuff your boss did.

    If they pulled a guy out of a meeting - his meeting - to fire him, those cruel fucks deserve nothing from me but a glance in my rearview.

    My last resignation was via a note added to my file on the way out. I left another job with Friday plane tickets and a go-bag and was starting work on Monday in a new time-zone.

    A chance to vent about your boss in hopes they get demoted?

    Congrats, Harjeet, on being a piece of shit. Doesn't even matter if it's fake and gay like greentexts, this kind of thought is a cancer

    You all don't get it. In the story, the interviewer is the bad guy, he's wasting his time and the time of the interviewee just to understand how valuable his team is.

    The lesson to take from it is to be in touch with your team so that you don't need someone else to show you how they are.

    I can’t wait to retire and fuck off into the sunset. This shit is so tiresome.

    If you need external validation that your team has value, you have no business being in a management position.

    Did everybody just decide to not read the last part?

    Be aware of your people's worth so the world doesn't have to remind you.

    It's basically 'hey, remember how shitty hiring is? keep that in mind and try to keep people you have.' It's not an example of "this is a good thing to try doing."

    No its saying what he learnt from doing the actions in a more summarized manner. "The world reminding you" is not the actions taken in the story, but rather the conceptual issue you'll be avoiding by following the "advice". It's not a negation

    A quick search reveals ol' Harjeet is somehow quite the bigwig in HR circles. He wrote a book entitled 'Employee Retention Mastermind'.

    I wonder if this is an excerpt.
