    I have a stable job that I like.

    Sometimes I think I should go to interviews just to make recruiters feel insecure, “your business is not up to my expectations” “what do you mean you don’t provide flexible remote working?” “Your paycheck is just too small for me, sorry”.

    I would get a laugh of of it and probably would help some fella by lowering this fuckers ego.

      I do this all the time. Keeps my interview skills sharp. Plus you never know when somewhere will wind up making you an insane offer.

        How do you do something like this when most interviews happen during work hours?

          It’s a lot easier if you have an office job, even easier if you’re full time remote. My experience has been the first round is over the phone, in which case before the pandemic I used to just go find an empty meeting room or go out to my car to take the call. For in person interviews, I’ll “have an appointment” and take a half day.

      Your motives are horrible. Hiring managers in any org larger than a few hundred people have very little control over anything you mentioned. So you’re just taking time away from other applicants and time away from the needs of the people who already work at a place in order to satisfy your pettiness.

      If you actually did this rather than just wanting to, you would be the bad guy in the situation.
