A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

They’re important questions but lots of these are pay and benefit related. Usually I discuss that after getting an offer, and I think that’s what companies expect too.

No problem in anticipating them. But the OP might not be asking them to a person that is allowed to answer them.

Yes but that is very simple to redirect.

Unfortunately I'm not able to answer all of your questions, you would need to refer to our HR specialist for those answers.

Very simple and polite. Going and posting on the Internet that they didn't hire someone because they had 100% legitimate questions make them look like an absolute moron, or simply someone that is looking for a slave that won't complain or inquire into anything. When the reality is, a person knowing those answers is helpful to both the company and the individual in terms of finding a good fit.

Oh, it seems I'm getting thread-structure blindness.

I only saw the person complaining that the questions weren't answered. I didn't notice the one bragging about not answering them.

If it's while I'm working, it's on their time.
