  • Well in the past 4 years we’ve had an unheard of in the modern age pandemic followed by way too many mass layoffs, so that’s nearly half a decade where it wasn’t so feasible to switch jobs.

    Although yeah it’s true, they could have left in the 6 years prior, but I’m also not sure how many opportunities they had elsewhere in general, especially without having to uproot their lives and relocate elsewhere.

    I do find it hard to demonize the workers when the focus should be on those at the top.








  • I think I’ve probably only ever been blacklisted once in my entire career, and it’s because I looked up the reviews of a company I applied to and they had some very concerning stuff so I just ghosted them completely and never answered their calls after we had already begun to play a bit of phone tag prior to that trying to arrange an interview.

    In my defense, they took a good while to reply to my application and they never sent any emails just phone calls, which it’s like, come on I’m a developer you know I don’t want to sit on the phone all day like I’m a sales person or something, send an email to schedule an interview like every other company instead of just spamming phone calls lol

    Agreed though, eventually they will forget, it just needs enough time, and maybe you’d not even want to work there.






  • Blacklists are heavily overrated and exaggerated, I’d say there’s no chance you’re on a blacklist. Hell, if you interview with them 3 years later, it’s entirely possible they have no clue who you are and end up hiring you - I’ve had literally that exact scenario happen. Tons of companies allow you to re-apply within 6 months of interviewing, let alone 12 months or longer.

    The only way you’d end up on a blacklist is if you accidentally step on the owners dog during the interview or something like that.
