You can, in fact, ask that. It’s just that you shouldn’t have to because labor conditions should be regulated by law.
I asked that when I was being interviewed. I wasnt aware it was abnormal. My boss didnt make a big deal out of it either. I also asked what benefits the position came with. We negotiated on my pay on the spot, which is where i definitely got a bit uncomfortable.
Labour conditions shouldn’t need regulation, we should just recognise another being’s suffering.
Though if we are going to have governments, they might as well do something useful.
we should just recognise another being’s suffering.
We do. It’s just that those that revel in it get rewarded.
There is literally no other thing that needs regulation more. It’s the entire reason contracts are a thing that exists. If anybody comes to you claiming they’ll set your working conditions based on empathy, that’s your cue to find a different job and a good union.
Rape whistles shouldn’t need to exist, either.
You US people should not normalize “sick days”. They’re unethical.
Dutch people can take 729 sick days in a row, assuming they’re actually sick, that is.
I’m with you, but it’s already normalized and the laws aren’t on our side (plus there’s an entire party trying to further erode worker’s rights).
Autism helps (I’ve done shit like that, especially when I was younger. If I need to know something, I ask ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 😂)
Depends how it was asked and general attitude imo.
If that’s one of your leading questions then that’s a massive red flag, and anyone saying otherwise is being obtuse.
If it’s one of a few questions they asked at the end then that’s fine.
The owner of a company I worked for made it through interviews and the entire hiring process several times without telling people their hourly pay. I’d trained new employees who asked me how much they’d be making. When I mentioned it, the owner was like, “They never asked!” WHAT THE FUCK.
For my current job we had a “culture fit” interview where I basically just went out to lunch with my future coworkers. That’s when I asked for the real truth about benefits, turnover, bullshit levels, promotions, and raises.
