"Yeah, recruitment and headhunting are not altruist professions. They're not social workers looking out for clients best interests. Story time: I got a high-paying job via a headhunter. After three months at the new place, I realized I hated it, and I quit. Three days later, I got a call from the headhunter, and he was IRATE, YELLING at me over the phone at the top of his lungs. He called me every name in the book, and went hoarse from yelling. Turns out, he gets paid a commission for placing me at that job ONLY if I stay at least 90 days. I just happened to quit on the 89th day coincidentally. So he lost out on a good chunk of money thanks to that." —u/whomp1970

"I'll never forget when my neighbour in London locked herself out. We waited for a locksmith to come over. He literally opened the car door, looked at the neighbours front door from a distance for about 2 seconds, then pulled out a long bent rod, walked to the door, stuck it through the letter box, maneuvered it around for a couple of seconds, and the door was open. (He undid the bolt from the inside). 100 quid, 15 seconds of work. But you don't pay for the 15 seconds, you pay for the decade of practice required to do the job in 15 seconds" —u/Vedorias

Insiders Share ‘Dirty Little Secrets’ About Industries They've Worked In
The fact that every industry has its dirty little secrets shouldn't shock anyone. Whether it's by blatantly lying to consumers about a product, taking shortcuts, neglecting hygiene, stealing data, or fudging numbers, businesses implement all sorts of shady practices behind the scenes for the sake of profits. Sometimes it's the employees themselves who develop practices and habits that aren't ideal, but it's understood throughout their profession that it's just the way things are, so they keep doing it.
One redditor recently started up a discussion about all the dirty little industry secrets people should know about, and the replies are pretty eye-opening. I'll never look at peanut butter the same way again.
