Also, candos are trying to flag potential "warzones" and avoid them. Meaning, they don't want the job to become a constant battle with anxiety, users, other stakeholders' pressure, things like that. They just want a job, or worstcase scenario they want to coast and do less time.

That said, the right tradeoffs can make it totally worth it. I think I joined one by accident, personally, but I feel that I have the best people, career growth and tech here (always wanted to do some networking work), so it still feels right to me.

I'm not seeing how this is a bad thing? If companies are looking for signals to hire me, I can look for signals that indicate mismanagement, incompetence or toxicity in the workplace (or all of the previous).

Which part is bad, the worstcase part? I'm sleepy. I guess I meant a dishonest person giving positive status updates but basically lying about the progress or stealing credit. Coasting isn't the bad part i guess, it's the explicit dishonesty to other people around them.
