    Maybe HR should have an exit interview with Raj to let him know he’s fired for wasting everyone’s time and company money with moral-busting-anxiety-inducing fake interviews.

      I don’t understand how exit interviews are a thing. Why would anyone go to one? I’m leaving the company, I don’t owe you shit. Hell, I stopped putting in 2 week notices 20 years ago. These corporations don’t care about me so I don’t care about them.

        Are you kidding, I love going to exit interviews. Its where you can say, in great detail and without reprisal, exactly why the company sucks.

        I’ve had exit interviews, and I’ve had jobs where I wish there was an exit interview. It’s possible to give feedback without burning bridges, and I don’t think I’ve ever left a job on bad terms.

        sometimes you leave on good terms. Might give them some things to improve (although I’d say that should happen continuuously, ideally. not just at the end)

        Exit interviews are a signature quest. They need you to sign some NDA so you can’t bitch about the reeeeally sketchy stuff your boss did.

        If they pulled a guy out of a meeting - his meeting - to fire him, those cruel fucks deserve nothing from me but a glance in my rearview.

        My last resignation was via a note added to my file on the way out. I left another job with Friday plane tickets and a go-bag and was starting work on Monday in a new time-zone.

          See my favourite is when they do the exit interview and then after try and make you sign an NDA.

          I have a policy to never sign anything that isn’t contingent to me getting a job. Since I’m leaving, I ain’t signing shit.

          Come on man, that’s petty as fuck.

          And again, I’m leaving so my ex boss is not my problem anymore.

            Yeah, it is great! And since I have empathy I understand my ex-boss will be someone else’s problem.

      Meh, they’re just hiding the obvious - if they found a good candidate they’d hire them. It’s a gentle rejection.

      This appears to go over our linkedin mastermind over there though, and proceeds to write a self-help book about it…

      With how printers are nowadays, that printer would probably try to get a GPS lock, or failing that, scan all devices nearby to try to determine its whereabouts, then capture your ID, face and any sensitive information it could, and start extorting your for more yellow ink…

    Did everybody just decide to not read the last part?

    Be aware of your people’s worth so the world doesn’t have to remind you.

    It’s basically ‘hey, remember how shitty hiring is? keep that in mind and try to keep people you have.’ It’s not an example of “this is a good thing to try doing.”

      No its saying what he learnt from doing the actions in a more summarized manner. “The world reminding you” is not the actions taken in the story, but rather the conceptual issue you’ll be avoiding by following the “advice”. It’s not a negation

    if you can’t be aware of your team’s worth without wasting everyone else’s time, then you’re a pretty pathetic “leader”

    You all don’t get it. In the story, the interviewer is the bad guy, he’s wasting his time and the time of the interviewee just to understand how valuable his team is.

    The lesson to take from it is to be in touch with your team so that you don’t need someone else to show you how they are.

      Wasting his own time and the companies too. Should be sacked. I hope he gets nothing but bogus interviews for the rest of his life.

    A quick search reveals ol’ Harjeet is somehow quite the bigwig in HR circles. He wrote a book entitled ‘Employee Retention Mastermind’.

    I wonder if this is an excerpt.

    This man will not have a car within 6 months, he will have a flaming pile of scrap, or a canvas upon which scratches paint a vile picture.

    And also will be receiving an invoice for my time.
