    (with ping-ping tables)

    Do they really think people give a shit about ping-pong tables? I don’t care about your little table games, pay me.

      Just being in HR gives you some kind of brainworm but being in HR and posting about it with what seems to be a personal account is more like having a brain shai-hulud

      Considering the rest of the post I would guess that HR sees it as a signal that the place allows their employees to leave their desk and not pretend to work for 15 minutes (morally repugnant to an American Protestant)

    Capitalism would be slightly more bearable if all companies dropped the “we care about you” shtick and just straight up told you their only motive is profit and that they’re here to exploit you.

    Right now we’re literally living under capitalism but you’re not allowed to point that out to any of the capitalists. I’m so damn sick of this stupid charade I have to play just for the privilege of being a wage slave.

    I absolutely despise these implied “trick question” mentality that HR and job market shills have.

      Yeah they really like to act like they’re giving away £50k on a whim and not paying someone for their labour.

    Feels like they are both made up scenarios for rage-bait. In both scenarios, the first two questions are completely relevant and the third is only a problem if you’re already looking for a problem.

      the third is only a problem if you’re already looking for a problem.

      “Is vacation 28 days” should not be a question, it should be the minimum mandated by law. “Will you work weekends” should rarely be a question, it should be heavily regulated and only allowed for positions where it’s truly required (and never to compensate for management fuckups).

      Feels like they are both made up scenarios for rage-bait.

      Actually for both of them, the conclusion is correct. “The second they’ll get a better offer they’ll vanish” - no shit, this is how it works under capitalism. Want to keep them? Make a better offer. “The second they find someone to do the same for less pay, they’ll fire you” - no shit, this is how it works under capitalism. Want to make that harder to do? Join or organize a union, and otherwise fight for your labor rights.

    One thing that infuriates me with job interviews is how they will write you off the second you are late. But they sure as hell can be late by as much as they want. And will treat you like shit if they are in a rush, or if they forgot about your scheduled time slot (had this happen with a phone interview that I even proved to the receptionist that I had in fact followed the instructions). They should be required to pay the person being interviewed for each hour (rounded up even if just 15min) wasted or their own lateness.
