      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…

      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.

    Congrats, Harjeet, on being a piece of shit. Doesn’t even matter if it’s fake and gay like greentexts, this kind of thought is a cancer

    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.

      Isn’t that the entire point of being a people leader? I am, and my job description and yearly goals are all about team performance, not my individual performance.

    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

    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.

    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.
