Aha... so you know. Hopefully my long piece will be useful to someone else, then.

"Red flag", that's the expression I was looking for indeed.




Yeah, sorry, didn't mean to dismiss your post with such a short response. It does give good insight into the Hiring Mind, for those who may not have been there.


It's fine, don't apologize. I didn't take it as a dismissal, and I was the one to offer entirely unsollicited advice. No worries, and I do appreciate your replies!


Don't worry, that text will very likely impact many people, and nearly none of them will be aware enough of it to tell you what they thought.

The worst thing is that, in a cold rational way the optimum strategy for both the company and the employee is hiring with little evidence, and firing relatively quickly. But it's only good if everybody does it, and nobody is actually able to do it.


Haha. Dunno if I should smile or cry. ;)

Very interesting remark on the hiring/firing process, I do concur.

It's an approach worth keeping in mind; it may one day fit in a much more dynamic labor legal framework provided both sides find interest — closer to a frictionless market[1], yielding more productivity... I think there's a case to be made for a non-zero-sum evolution here. Maybe for the next decade, or the one after.
