Well, that's true of every place, except the ones that are all completely, irredeemably horrible. So you do your candidates a service by illustrating for them the particular mix at your place, and it's up to them to compare with the mixes elsewhere.Silverback McGreybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18434170121684704440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883226237165701608.post-5189079470878979172012-11-20T11:00:55.915-05:002012-11-20T11:00:55.915-05:00Be honest about it, but encourage them to apply if...Be honest about it, but encourage them to apply if they are willing to help change the culture.
