I have been trying my hardest to find such a hiring manager, but at a certain point one starts to wonder if they exist at all.

Why does the responsibility for toxic culture and unethical behavior fall on me, the applicant, the one with the least amount of power and leverage in the interview process? Why do companies get free passes on ridiculous behavior while I am supposed to compromise what I believe in to placate others? I'm asking a philosophical question, of course, but it's an important one: If not enough people stand up for themselves, we get worker mistreatment and toxic work environments.
