Cypher:
The "ban" is pure BS.
Figure: the people who ask you to forego a good job at CX are those who are already employed there....
It's a typical union strategy: ask others not to join the company so that the established members can leverage their claims...
Question: If it's such a bad company to work for, why are the current employees not leaving in droves? Answer: either they can't find a better employer or there is nowhere to go.
Conclusion: if CX is their best choice, it's got to be yours, too!
