I see why you aren&#x27;t hiring everyone you want to--<p>Your practices sound coercive.<p>Expiring offers? Expiring signing bonuses? How disrespectful to peoples&#x27; time and competing obligations.<p>If I had competing offers, I wouldn&#x27;t take yours on principle of disrespect for me taking my time to make important decisions. I&#x27;d take yours if I was low on cash-- not because I&#x27;d want to work for someone like you.
