Omg I was just thinking that! Lovely

You know that people just lie regardless of the real intent behind hiring right?

That's not how that works... Please stop being delusional

This is a bizarre take, I've always asked questions like this when interviewing, and if a manager doesn't have a good answer I ask for follow up conversations with the team before taking a job.

Has it worked out? No, but usually they were all being lied to by upper management. Can't do much about that.

> Has it worked out? No

It's a bizarre take because you have always done it and it has not worked out. What.

I missed a word in there, which was "has it always worked out", but on the other hand I've also dated a lot of people I didn't marry, and even in my original phrasing I think it would be very odd to not ask or try to suss out this information! If nothing else you'll learn later if people are truthful or not, or worth working with again in the future.

The full quote is as follows:

  Stop watching the news
  Because the news contrives to frighten you
  To make you feel small and alone
  To make you feel that your mind isn't your own

And is from the song "Spent the Day in Bed".

It is relevant here as the mice in the experiment loose control over their "mind" and start behaving in a self defeating manner.
