When learning about leadership and management, it gives enlightening thinking about how things should have been done but also confirmation (bias?) that the way one knows was correct.
Interviewing the employer during employee interviewing is important thing to do. It is a mutual selection - which is an issue sometimes forgotten by the employer. From here one can see group bias as well - how company sees themselves, have they gone blind for issues which can be interpreted as job harassment, managing with fear etc.
On previous place there were issues which according to law were job harassment, yet which was sort of accepted by the culture. Now those managers are “freed” to repeat their ways on the wild. Yet some seem to say that they are “close to human” - approach. Right.
On one occasion, I was discussing about the salary. Normal talks how money is not everything, and also told some personal life matters which have lead me to ask decent salary - instead of lower, which was suggested by employer giving even examples how low salary this boss was having. It was really low, about three times lower than i asked. Only months later, when employed, I did found out that this person takes twice amount of my yearly salary as unearned income (what a funny name for income from shares).
This means that person who is representative of a company sets a tone where he sets himself above you, and does not see the problem with hiding - possibly lying - in order to reach his goals.
Would that be place where you would like to work? Is it in line with your values? Would that change you to act accordingly?
