    I can get that the employer would want to dodge any salary discussion, but not even responsibilities and work culture? Does the position even say what is the job?

      Tipping their hand that they didn’t put at least a ballpark salary range in the listing, meaning they’re trying to fuck you.

        No responsibilities in the position description usually means “literally everything is going to roll downhill to your desk whenever someone feels like not doing their work”.

      Some jobs are “buffer hires” (look it up) some jobs are “beeing the scapegoat for the real culprit at a higher position”, either one wouldnt be really discussed in a regular interview.

      when they dont want to discuss important basic things in the interview just pick your favorite one and ask if its such a position, but if you do, plz report how it went.

    I’m just kind of stunned by the “summarize this email” button. It’s 3 sentences!

      Do people regularly get emails long enough to justify a summary button? I think I’ve seen those maybe once out every thousand emails I get.

      Or is it summarizing the whole thread?

        I do, but that’s because I subscribe to hobby newsletters that tend to run long. I wouldn’t use a summary button because I want every bit of that content.

    In my region, failure to disclose salary on the job description is illegal.

    It’s a DEI law, since hard salary negotiation supposedly favours one group over another, and for us that’s a hard law to fight with a huge compensation cap.

    So the employer already comes off as a sleazeball.

    That is only ok if the application is for a government job.

    Salary? - fixed scheme according to position and years of employment. Responsibilities? - hahaha no. Work culture? - Drink Coffee, shoot the shit, sleep at your desk, make life miserable for normal citizens.

      You should still be able to ask what the job entails in a general sense. (Like clerical, data analytics, design, etc…) It’s usually where the give their spiel such as, “You will be helping to design and roll out a new system that helps focus our resources on what’s important; the people.”

      They may be talking out of their ass, but at least you could glean at a very high level what you’ll be doing. (Otherwise a revolving door of dissatisfied hirees could open up)
