One of the few advantages to my chosen field is that my experience level in my specialty means I'm in demand enough that recruiters will just message me on places like linkedin and indeed so I've started putting my status as open to work and just constantly neg them and their job listings like "you listed a salary but it's a really wide range what does that look like for ten years of experience" then when they give a shitty response or I just run out of questions to neg with I block them. a) it's super fun and b) this is my community service to help new grads. Giving back to the community and all.

I don't know anything about this company, but in a lot of this would legally be considered libel and they could get sued.

Also this is a dumb thing to do. If I saw this I would not apply to this company.

I've interviewed a lot of people for jobs, I've seen no-shows and stuff like that. When that happens you simply remove them from your pipeline and move on.

This doctor did a valuable public service, alerting job-seekers who don't want to waste their time interviewing with petty little Napoleons. Thanks, Doc!

What an asshole.

The guy lecturing on professionalism has a profile photo wearing track suit over a t-shirt. At larger size, you can see photo is wavy like it was a selfie taken against metal bathroom mirror.

Yeah, let's allow asshole C level dicks to publicly shame employees now, without any shred of evidence, or anyway to defend yourself. What could possibly go wrong?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago

Not even an employee, just an interviewee.

Unprofessional conduct alert indeed... It's like he was putting up a trigger warning for his own post

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago

Misread and was like "wait, this guy is great! He wants employees that value values!... Oh wait... Mf doesn't want to pay mfs.. nm"

He's mad he got ghosted? What a chode

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I think it's "choad". But yes, he is one of those.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why did you not censor the guys name??? All you're doing is hurting them more by making this post.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

He's mad the guy didn't want to be underpaid for some shit position and is trying to ruin the guy's reputation in retaliation.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wait I thought the person you replied to was saying the person who was interviewed name should be censored. Not the poster's name.

Or am I missing something? That does happen more often than I'd like.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh, I see what you mean. Nah, Im the dumb one.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Upvoting for the acknowledgement, not cause I think you're dumb. I read things incorrectly all the time. If only everyone could admit a simple misunderstanding gracefully, or at least with minimal frustration.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Eh, if you can't laugh at yourself, right? Appreciate it. Cheers! 😊

This is the one time Australia's terrible defamation laws could do some good, if they lived in Australia.

I can't tell if Yash was the interviewer or interviewee.

The CEO's title doesn't match the company mentioned.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Should have applied for a management position. Seems aptly qualified.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago

Bringing a beer to his interview was also a red flag. He brought exactly one beer. ONE.

I reported this post for harassment. LinkedIn said "nope this is fine":

This is pretty fucking egregious. I don't care if the candidate was wildly unprofessional or not, you don't fucking drop names like this publicly.

If I was that candidate I'd be calling lawyers right about now.

Also, if you reported it, they don't let you see it afterwards, even if they refuse to take it down. So it may look like they've taken action when all they've done is make it sorta look like they did, just to you.

Linkedin is full blow AIDS.

Would you have downvoted them if they said it was cancer?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Well, it's hard to call it libel, because they hardly made any actual claims. I was waiting to hear about the "unprofessional behavior", but they seem to have forgotten that part?

The only unprofessional behavior seems to be the post itself. If you're going to make allegations, make actual allegations or don't say anything.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You didn’t think LinkedIn was doing anything wrong when they asked people to put up pictures of themselves? You didn’t catch on that LinkedIn is the biggest facilitator of workplace discrimination?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I never thought linkedin wasn't doing anything wrong

[–] [email protected] 43 points 2 months ago

I like how they say it's a mutual endeavor and yet they obviously wasted this applicant's time.

Good on Gupta for ghosting them.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I imagine if he's money driven he'll sue their asses off for defamation and get a new car.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think this would be considered libel. But I'm no lawyer.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

I’ma lawyer but I only work for LinkedIn fluffing so unfortunately I can’t help him.
