-Being blamed for something and then having the due process railroaded as fast as possible as if to get me fired before I can show that I was actually right.
-Being judged on what it’s anticipated that I’m going to do. You may for instance anticipate that I’ll not perform well or I’ll take the job and leave quickly. Your anticipation is about as accurate as the prediction that the Titanic couldn’t sink.
-Having middle men hire tech positions, such that they don’t understand the thought process behind a computer programmer in an information systems MIS role, and overemphasize whether you hit certain litmus tests. Profiteers who are paranoid that you won’t work out, because then they lose their profit for placing you, and then the client is suspicious. Really it’s not worth using recruiters.
-Ethnic nepotists who can’t see their own anti meritocratic behavior. Indians of course, but Italians do it too.
