Why is the corporate world so warped in the head?

Question

They act as if you need your head examined for having the audacity to apply for work with their companies...

Answer 1

You may need to read Scott Adams' books on Dilbert. What you describe is the Dilbert Principle where management in big corporations hire and promote the most incompetent people which in tun hire and promote more incompetent people.

Answer 2

Don't really understand your question, most larger companies have to answer to shareholders the real owners, so many decisions are done and you do not have the whole story to what is happening. There are many parts of business that you have no clue on. Many are short staffed time is a premium. Remember no one owes you a job or for that matter anything. I might recommend you set out on your own and do something you like, then you can have the same audacity. See I have been on both sides owner and worker. I wish I would have known more of what my Boss puts up with before I went out. A lot of things make more sense now. Good Luck

Answer 3

I've never gotten the impression that a company thought I needed my head examined when I applied to work for it. Given that a company is willing to pay a salary, they obviously want someone to apply for the job.

Now, if you were severely under-qualified, so much so that it should have been obvious to you, you might get something like that kind of reaction. Maybe that happened with you?

Answer 4

Because its true. Corporate wold is a crazy world. If you go by the TV and movies, you got a very wrong impression of what goes on. They claim to make things for the average Joe. They claim to think likw the average Joe but, if Joe actually went there, he would be spat out.

Answer 5

They just do that to see how you would act around people you may not neccessarily get along with, chances are there will be at least one person who gets on your nerves in your workplace.

Answer 6

Because they have way too much money. They don't know how to relate to workig people.
