I once had a candidate give the join link to the meeting out to several people (there were 3 unknown people in the call in addition to me and him). I immediately explained we can't do the interview with all these other people on the call and he proceeded to try and gaslight me that there were no other people in the call, like he honestly thought he had jedi mind truck powers.

I called over several coworkers to witness the clusterfuck, many lols were had.

Sounds like someone bullshitted their way through school to get a technical degree, not realizing that their bullshitting depended on the person they were bullshitting not being good or confident with technology, which gets rarer when you go into a technical career.

Sorry, what?

I have found it hard to find a place with a non-bulshitting trend.
And it has become harder, the further I go.

Maybe I'm just unlucky.
