Especially so if they themselves were at the mercy of mediocre leaders, and yet having to be a strong, resilient leader to their subordinates (or at the very least, behave the part).

I specially wrote in and thanked my hiring manager (DD) for not shortlisting me to the next round, sharing my revelations of CE's dismal leadership and toxic working culture. I even applaud and appreciate her leadership inside the email - turnover rate at the directors' level is so high, she could have walked away if she wants to, yet she continue turning up consistently in this pressure cooker environment (quiet quitting is another story thou). I felt so bad for her, I even offered words of encouragement (I mean, I don't even want to work there despite knowing that she will make a good boss/leader).

For some reason, I feel strongly for her plight and unknown struggles.

This is the most radical and boldest move I've made in a recruitment process.

I don't understand your point regarding LCH's intellect. From what I've read, his intellect is so bad it turns many pple off. It's either he has it, or not. But it's damn clear that he lacks wisdom in tech.
