    Comfort hunter is a very snobbish and entitled way to refer to someone offering their time and effort to you.

    And wait, was the 2nd post ‘liked’ by the first poster?

      Let us not forget that there is not a single employer on the planet who would willingly hire and pay someone more for their time than that person’s time is worth. Each employee of a company is making that company money. They deserve comfort because they are the company.

        I have a client who helps their personal out way more than they should. Even paying them extra so they can pay their tax debt. Not that some of his employees deserve it, heck the one he paid the tax debt for is even leaving the company after this all happened.

        Corporate bosses suck, small company bosses can be pretty decent depending on the type of company and how much money is being made. These are the companies that generally don’t have a HR deparment or a C level employee.

          Heck they can also drive to you in a Volve stationwagen with the child like sun protectors on the windows that’s a clear sign they have kids as well.

      That means that the HR account thinks what the employee account wrote is bad, too. Both posts are bad extremes.

      As an employee, if i find a prospective colleague who doesn’t ask about what they’re supposed to be doing at all, I’d be wary of them, too.

        The thing is that that kind of information is usually in the offer. I’d be polite and and for confirmation and clarification but not everyone has that kind of tact and not hiring someone because they didn’t ask you to repeat what it’s written on the offer is kinda harsh tbh.
