So after I was hired by my company a month ago, they told me that they would start interviewing people and that anyone currently within our circle who can find a viable candidate would be rewarded a $3,000 bonus.
My first thought would be to help poach some former coworkers that I had a good relationship with from a previous job with a toxic boss. But recently our receptionist told me that even though the company was still open to interviews, they're not currently looking to hire more people. They're simply holding interviews to “test the waters”.
I thought to myself this place is really trying to waste other people's time. A part of me is slightly offended because I knew what it was like to struggle after interview after interview, getting rejections and while hearing the trending buzzword “nobody wants to work anymore”. Now that I have a job that's been my most paying one yet, I hear that they're playing games with people who are seeking for employment. In one of the worst economies in America's history.
How would you feel if you knew your company was doing this?
