My partner is currently job hunting and I’ve got to know some very ugly behaviours from interviewers and train staff, towards the people applying for those jobs.
From snarky attitudes, to blattant lies and attempts on trying to withold information or ignore legal impositions and rights, these companies are power tripping and the people in them are deranged.
Well, I happen to have a job and am fairly aware of my rights, so I’m considering applying for these interviews and throw some poison back at this people.
I truly wonder what’s the purpose of that behaviour though. Kill every last bit of motivation pre-job? I remember a time, when the hiring process wasn’t pure vitriol. Are these HR people so fed up with their jobs or what’s going on?
Currently, here, I think it is a dangerous mix of having an influx of immigrants, that are deemed expendable/low value, paired with an obcession of pushing people into submission, so they just take whatever is thrown at them.
I’ve listened to a couple of interviews on my partner and the recruiters were borderline abusive.
