MODERATORS
Feels like they are both made up scenarios for rage-bait. In both scenarios, the first two questions are completely relevant and the third is only a problem if you’re already looking for a problem.
"Is vacation 28 days" should not be a question, it should be the minimum mandated by law. "Will you work weekends" should rarely be a question, it should be heavily regulated and only allowed for positions where it's truly required (and never to compensate for management fuckups).
Actually for both of them, the conclusion is correct. "The second they'll get a better offer they'll vanish" - no shit, this is how it works under capitalism. Want to keep them? Make a better offer. "The second they find someone to do the same for less pay, they'll fire you" - no shit, this is how it works under capitalism. Want to make that harder to do? Join or organize a union, and otherwise fight for your labor rights.
Funny indeed
