> I make sure to probe these things during the interview process
I absolutely plan to do so throughly when I begin interviewing later this year. But I've been fooled before, so it'll take extraordinary evidence to get my hopes up, and I don't think I'll ever truly believe it again. There's always the possibility it isn't real or I'm misunderstanding something.
If you ever trust an employer you put yourself at a profound disadvantage. Employers are not so disadvantaged by placing (judiciously earned) trust in employees. That's because employers are companies, and companies are not people.
