I had a screening interview at Google where the screener asked some ridiculous question that nobody not straight out of school would know, and even then not likely. I was like, wtf? If that's how they treat candidates -- and from everything I've heard it is -- I want nothing to do with them, and flat out refused their recruiters a dozen time afterward even though they pleaded that they've changed. Sorry, interviewing is a two-way street.
I had a job where my department was very suddenly informed that rather than continuing with the quite successful training and introduction program that we had for our new people, instead A Trainer was required.
After some bit we wound up with someone who definitely did not train people. Instead he spent his time making narcissistic videos, which were declared to be mandatory viewing for all in the department, and were totally useless for the work we were doing.
In time, everyone actually getting the work done either ran for the door or finally got fired in waves.
Somewhat in parallel, LinkedIn has been sending me begging emails demanding that I pay attention to it. When I've logged in, I've been given displays based on where I've worked.
One of the displays that pops up is a statement that the utter flake of a non-trainer now has a job which claims that he does "educational development", or something like that . . . . at Google.
