    I don’t disagree with any of this, but I don’t know how this is connected to when it’s appropriate to ask these questions. What am I missing?

      If worker are able to shift the power balance to where employer has to tell term of the employment on the front end, we would NOT get abused as much during interview process.

      For example as middle age cuck, I don’t even talk to recurieter unless we agree on salary range that is acceptable to me. I am not wasting my time.

      Obviously entry level can’t do that but adults should be a lot hard on these corporate IMHO

      It is our job to the drive this. Boomers unwillingness to do this got us into this situation.

      But yes, as person on bad luck, young or otherwise unemployed, has to play the game how you outlined.

        But most of these questions aren’t addressing issues at the level of salary range. #4 might be something like a benefit package. Those are important questions and are usually addressed early for a certain type of professional early in the process.

        But free parking? Work hours? Weekly activities? It not that these aren’t important to know, but most of these questions are either better addressed later or asked in a way that gets them to reveal their values.

        Well, good luck organizing the union of the unemployed people. That’s not a category that is easy to gather.

        Or you can play the individual game, and save your power to use when it will have some effect on your ongoing life, instead of just some psychological comfort on the short duration of an interview.

        Yes, it sucks that you have to choose.
