Hey folks, I bring you a revelation, in case you didn't already know: In business, being direct/straight-talking and honest is something you want to avoid. Why's that? Well, firstly, it scares businesses because those aren't qualities they actually want in an employee. Secondly, having boundaries/limits and principles on which you're not prepared to compromise is "very arrogant and unprofessional to say the least", according to one recruiter. Yeah, so I've found, which is unfortunate ... IMO, recruitment agencies are like Joe Biden talking about how he's going to get things done. They can't even get to the end of a meeting before putting their feet in their mouths and going, "Oh, never mind", but have the sheer audacity to claim that I'm unprofessional because I'm keen to work with people who want to get work done and am upfront about it. It's funny how predictably people turn nasty and rude, lose interest in you, as soon as they discover you're not prepared to let them push your boundaries. (I refer to it as the Schrödinger's Suitor phenomenon.) https://www.publish0x.com/back-to-the-source/the-limit-should-not-exist-how-arrogant-and-unprofessional-o-xvmvlyw?a=oQeZVJGJep&tid=Noise&t=Noise
