These are questions for after receiving an offer.
The questions you should ask now would be along the lines of management style, corporate culture, and team dynamics. It's the first few dates, not a marriage proposal.
lol no. If a company can't answer what my work hours are gonna be before we even have the first interview, I'm not wasting my time.
I disagree. They're important for me to know if I want to keep pursuing this job opportunity or if I should stop wasting our time. I don't want to do a second or third interview only to find out afterwards about all these factors. I could be out there interviewing for other jobs in the meantime, not in a second interview at this shitty company that doesn't want to tell me how shitty it is until they've offered e the job.
I don't see how answering any of these question in s straight forward and honest way would reveal if this company is shitty or not. Their ability to provide free parking is far an indicator of quality.
Interesting that you cherry picked that one... I would consider work hours and whether or not you'll get health insurance to be pretty consequential
I didn't say it wasn't consequential, I said it wasn't an indicator of if it was a shitty company.
OK. But those things definitely are.
Free parking, insurance, hell... Even weekly activities don't necessarily make or prevent a company from being shitty. #6 could be an indicator, but by itself, it's not enough.
Not providing health insurance definitely makes a company shitty.
You realize it doesn't say that and this wasn't happening in the US. The candidate pulled out a piece of A4 paper. Something not used in the US very often.
What other country ties health insurance to employment?
I'm genuinely curious because I thought the US was the only one.
To stay in the dating metaphor:
Would you want the other party to be upfront about serious issues, or prefer to get to know that down the line?
In dating terms these are topics like "do you have children from a previous relationship" or "i plan to move to a different state in a few months".
If you dont respect the other side enough to discuss these things right away, the relationship is destinend to fail.
I don't think the questions on the list do that.
Working hours, medical insurance, probation period and notice to current employer are all pretty damn crucial.
If #4 is medical insurance, sure.
Probation period and notice to employer assume that you've landed the job and is presumptive to do so before the offer.
#6 is good. Weekly acticities is a weird question, but indicative of something important.The rest are important after an offer.
Lots of companies have strings attached, you are allowed to ask if there are strings before they are presented to you on a platter.
Never said you can't ask.
Wow what a simp
Oh my! So many hurtful words. Are you getting enough oxygen?
No, none of us is due to poisoning our atmosphere
