I’ve never understood why the HR people always see “not asking questions about the company” or “not demonstrating knowledge about the company” as such a red flag.

People are looking for a job, not a cult to join.

Let’s stop mincing words here.

You want me because I have a particular set of skills that you think will be helpful to you in your pursuit of profit.

I want your job because I can leverage the skills I have for money and benefits that will provide food, and shelter.

Your main concerns are profits.

My main concerns are survival.

Employment is where these things meet in the middle. Let’s not pretend that we’re here because we’re friends. We are not family. Fuck you, pay me.

Comfort hunter is a very snobbish and entitled way to refer to someone offering their time and effort to you.

And wait, was the 2nd post ‘liked’ by the first poster?

Jesus Christ, yes, I am a comfort hunter. You think I get up at the ass crack of dawn every day for fun? You think I want to push buttons on a computer all day because I’m just weirdly into it?

No! I do this shit because I have to!

Fucking hell. I’ve already accepted that I have to make your company money if I want to live in a house. For the love of all that is good in this world, PLEASE do not make me pretend to like it. I’m already weirded out that you’re so into it.

real nObOdY wAnTs To WoRk vibes…

also, if a candidate is having to ask what you’re bringing to the table as an employer at their own job interview because you couldn’t be up-front enough about it to post it on the hiring page, then that’s already enough of a red flag that i already closed the tab
