Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

They probably had some other reason not to hire you and just gave an excuse
No, I've been on the other side of hiring committees and seen this argument. Along with other stunningly dumb ones like "if she isn't job hopping and has 8 years rising the ranks in her previous job she can't be "hungry" enough to work here"
and
"this person is too up to date with processes, it's like they're already looking for a new job when they get the old one.
Companies actively select out what the Soviets called "Shock-workers" in favour of ones that appear to work. Adjust behaviour accordingly.
Roughly a decade ago, my boss at the time had declined to hire a hatted chef (the Australian equivalent of a Michelin Star chef) for our pub so this is definitely a thing that happens.
But I think it's because they don't want to have someone that could easily leave if overworked and/or underpaid. They're less exploitable.
Off-topic, but I do find your username amusing.
<3 thanks bb
