I think the part about that strategy that bugs me is that the workforce doesnt know they are effectively doing a tryout for the company

But at the same time, these are probably the same companies that say "competitive work environment" somewhere on the job application so maybe employees should expect it

Anecdotally, I've seen touchy feely corporate tone along with this strategy, and would suspect that is a fairly common combination. What you describe certainly exists, but it's not always so obvious.

ugh, i hate it. "We are a family here" ... "haha jk, get lost"
