A big part of dealing with adversarial co-workers is team structure and managerial support, how does a 1 on 1 conversation with someone you&#x27;ve never met even really test your ability to work with &quot;difficult&quot; people? It seems more like seeing how much bullshit you can put up with at that point (this is NOT the same to me as &quot;dealing with an adversarial co-worker&quot;).<p>There&#x27;s already a baseline of bullshit to deal with everywhere anyway, it&#x27;s part of almost any job. If a company thinks there&#x27;s so much bullshit and&#x2F;or difficult people to deal with that they need to screen for it during interviews, that seems like a HUGE turnoff to me wanting to work there.
