“What exactly are you missing right now?” Veteran AI Product Manager shares trashy dialogue with recruiter

«Work changes you. War changes you even more. But I lost less common sense than some HR people,» writes Oleksandr Kucheryavyi and cites the dialogue that prompted him to say such words.

The following is the veteran’s words about the telephone conversation, which took place after the exchange of pleasantries and introductory curtseys to each other:

• Recruiter: «Have you been fighting since '22?»
• Me: «Fought, yes»
• Recruiter: «Not anymore?»
• Me: «No»
• Recruiter: «Why?»
• Me: «They kicked me out because of the injury»
• Recruiter: «What?»
• Me: «Difficult»
• Recruiter: «And which one exactly?»
• Me (here I’m a little hung over): «Mine and explosive like everyone else)»
• Recruiter: «What exactly are you lacking right now?»
• Me: «Hope for adequate recruiting ethics»
• Recruiter: «Don’t understand?»
• Me: «Not surprised)»
