"One very important reason you may be overlooking:
Highly critical people holding jobs think that their workplace is not good enough for their job seeker friend(s).
The outside- ‘percieved’ image of the Firm can be much ‘shinier’ than the reality from within.
As an Architect, I never wanted friends to know how really bad it was inside the firms I worked. Of the 5 or 6 times that I did get friends hired at various Fims over the years; their newly formed opinions were always as expected: “this place is not what I expected”, or “they suck you in and then tell you to sit down and shutup”, or “I realize a job like this can really kill a person”. The more accurately I tried to descibe the Firm’s negative points, the more they seemed to want the job."
