A bit late but I forgot to add the worst case I've ever seen. We had hired a new dev who was going to take over a senior position when we had multiple openings for over 6 months. The offer had been signed and returned when the head of HR rescinded the offer. When pressed for a reason why, his exact quote was, "We aren't the Yankees, were like the Oakland A's. Were just looking to get on base, not to be number 1"
I am stunned by this!
