Didn't read. But why does all this "Management" experts seems to love awful stock-photos? And why are these Management/HR people always obsessed to come up with rules and guides, as if they ironically are to incompetent to handle people so they need a manual...

Repeatability would be one reason. Asking the same questions to different candidates will help you make better and comparable decisions. The usual "casual chat" interview is heavily biased towards people who are good looking and interview well.

That was my whole point...all these NLP, coloring personalities and all other bullshit HR and management people are into is only due to their lack of ability to read and sense people. If they don't come up with all this bullshit, they'd be completely lost (just to fall back on looks).

I'll tell you why. It's because this line of corporate work isn't about work or passion. It's about filling your day with tasks so you can justify your paycheck. I'm not saying this as a negative thing. It's just how the corporate world works.

Nobody is enthusiastic. I haven't talked to anyone at my work who is truly stoked about what they're doing, as in they'll go home and keep working on what they're doing.

There are no hackers here. It's just corporate culture.

These people are so deep into the corporate culture that they forget how to interact with people without an underlying guide or goal.
