    I don’t know anything about this company, but in a lot of this would legally be considered libel and they could get sued.

    Also this is a dumb thing to do. If I saw this I would not apply to this company.

    I’ve interviewed a lot of people for jobs, I’ve seen no-shows and stuff like that. When that happens you simply remove them from your pipeline and move on.

    One of the few advantages to my chosen field is that my experience level in my specialty means I’m in demand enough that recruiters will just message me on places like linkedin and indeed so I’ve started putting my status as open to work and just constantly neg them and their job listings like “you listed a salary but it’s a really wide range what does that look like for ten years of experience” then when they give a shitty response or I just run out of questions to neg with I block them. a) it’s super fun and b) this is my community service to help new grads. Giving back to the community and all.

    Yeah, let’s allow asshole C level dicks to publicly shame employees now, without any shred of evidence, or anyway to defend yourself. What could possibly go wrong?

    Why did you not censor the guys name??? All you’re doing is hurting them more by making this post.

        Wait I thought the person you replied to was saying the person who was interviewed name should be censored. Not the poster’s name.

        Or am I missing something? That does happen more often than I’d like.

      I think it’s “choad”. But yes, he is one of those.

    The guy lecturing on professionalism has a profile photo wearing track suit over a t-shirt. At larger size, you can see photo is wavy like it was a selfie taken against metal bathroom mirror.

    This doctor did a valuable public service, alerting job-seekers who don’t want to waste their time interviewing with petty little Napoleons. Thanks, Doc!

    This is the one time Australia’s terrible defamation laws could do some good, if they lived in Australia.

    I reported this post for harassment. LinkedIn said “nope this is fine”:

    This is pretty fucking egregious. I don’t care if the candidate was wildly unprofessional or not, you don’t fucking drop names like this publicly.

    If I was that candidate I’d be calling lawyers right about now.

    Also, if you reported it, they don’t let you see it afterwards, even if they refuse to take it down. So it may look like they’ve taken action when all they’ve done is make it sorta look like they did, just to you.

      Well, it’s hard to call it libel, because they hardly made any actual claims. I was waiting to hear about the “unprofessional behavior”, but they seem to have forgotten that part?

      The only unprofessional behavior seems to be the post itself. If you’re going to make allegations, make actual allegations or don’t say anything.

      You didn’t think LinkedIn was doing anything wrong when they asked people to put up pictures of themselves? You didn’t catch on that LinkedIn is the biggest facilitator of workplace discrimination?

    The “unprofessional conduct” that he’s alerting us to is his own behavior, right?

    I read that and thought, “Whatever is coming is probably a huge breach of business etiquette.” And I was right.

    Edited to add: If the candidate’s behavior in the interview was so egregious, why would you even waste your time with follow-up calls? It sounds like they wanted to hire the guy, but he wasn’t interested in working for them after the interview. Sour grapes, anyone?

      I would guess the “money-driven mindset” had a lot to do with it. The interview went well, he was a good fit, but they didn’t offer him enough. With some back and forth on compensation souring communications enough to make the owner butt hurt enough to post this.

        Exactly… Do these idiots not realize how easily readable they are? I’ve never subjected myself to LinkedIn, so I couldn’t say, but do people actually respond positively to posts like this there?

    I like how they say it’s a mutual endeavor and yet they obviously wasted this applicant’s time.

    Good on Gupta for ghosting them.
