Sourceress on the flip side. And they use the long responses to their long emails to train more. Eh.<p>Recruiters have been doing this for years, stringing along applicants--ideally into turning down real offers from real people writing for real--with emotionally touching, thought-out...shit at random. To get to the point the applicant prematurely rejects all other offers and then--20 percentile salary offer, non-negotiable, "and then we'll see," and you know and I know you're homeless if you don't take it, but that never gets spoken out loud. Dude they look at all your financials, they build the equivalent of fraud detection to see how much they can lowball you, check your credit history (you knew that, they asked you for it), then they wanted all this endless information from other previous employers (but you never talk to their former employees, no boss's resume of references that worked for him to see how they really felt about it). So in response, first, declare you forfeit all stock options, unconditionally. Then, ask to talk to the people you'll be working with. Then, ultimatum offer, and if you end up on the street because of procedurally generated emotional commitment (which turns out is a liability in court, coming soon), hey, Daniel Cussen will still talk to you, I'll still listen to you, I'll give you when you beg, I'll vouch for you as a witness, I'll remember your name, I'm doing all those things where I live every day with all the awesome beggars--they have so many stories--that took the bait in some capacity.<p>I'll treat you just like if it were the flip side, as good as I wish you treated me if I got evicted.<p>And after that, accept that it's a job and subordination. And then do the job, it'll suck it's work, come on, most of the money still goes to people's salaries (this is in a transition and is shifting dramatically, money spent on training is absolutely exploding at the expense of salaries, to my and therefore your monetary benefit if you end up on the street, <a href="https://www.fgemm.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.fgemm.com</a> coming soon).
