Fascinating story!

Your x-ray vision manager: what (interview) questions or criteria did she use?

Condo rental pool is a term I've never come across before.

What rental pool service did you use?

Exactly

> Apollo's founder isn't even trying to sustain his business.

Good call out. It's like the business equivalent of:

You changed the rules of the game because you didn't like how I played. So I'm not even going to bother playing with the new rules. I retire.

I wouldn't take it personally

You know the real circumstances

True hurtful one-stars is a rival who's mad at your book release

And got their buddies to spam the system w/ garbage reviews

The customer that gives a $.25 tip on bad service

Hurtful garbage yes

But still a gift

I saw a poll once re: 5-star rating systems:

Roughly 50% tolerate or like them The other 50% completely hate them

Will Karat be around after the AI revolution?

I wouldn't be surprised if an OpenAI + Zoom solution makes Karat obsolete.

I, for one, won't shed any tears. I've wasted too much time conducting interviews. I'd like to have more time to focus on work.

gregw134 nailed it

I talked to a friend about what's she's seeing inside Google right now and the amount of corporate and cultural dysfunction is shocking. Politics, games, entitlement, and decreased productivity.

Is there a company that's more dysfunctional?

Agreed. The level of naysaying on Bing + GPT (along with ChatGPT) is absurd.

One CEO (and company) has joy. The other one does not.

I know which one I'd rather join.

> they have a wider pool from which to choose

This goes both ways for employer and employee

Can you elaborate on these "two really good ones?"

What did they do that made them so special?
