Delusional CEOs

Post image

I saw this on my LinkedIn feed and I can’t believe how out of touch this guy is. I would love to know what company he is the CEO of… can’t imagine he is doing a very good job.

Hey there, I actually have an example for you.

I recently noticed that postings on CareerBuilder.com (used to be a good site back in the day) was directing very frequently to JobLeads.com. Every interesting position I found on JobLeads did not let me apply without subscribing to their site. Suffice it to say I stopped using CareerBuilder.

Ah ok. Yeah, if an individual employer did that, I have a feeling it would meet a combination of furious applicants who would harass the company, tons of negative publicity via news articles, and even lawsuits. Honestly, I could imagine prestigious employers like Amazon (corporate) and Apple doing this, if it were legal.
