Do you think management at this company respects their employees? Or maybe they refer to them as "resources", treat them as disposable, fungible, commodities, and deserve no more respect in turn?

Not saying that is the case, but the question deserves asking. Respect is a two way street.

Yeah, I am fortunate that I don't need to work for that kind of place, I guess.

I mean, I never worked anywhere where I felt management didn't respect me.

Interesting. In my experience the vast majority of companies consider their employees disposable commodities.

See: micromanagement, use of the term "resource" to refer to people, layoffs as soon as there is a bad quarter and the stock price takes a little dip, shoddy "open plan" working conditions, and all the other things companies tend to do. If you have found a better situation, hang onto it with both hands and don't let go!

I don't know a potential employer. Why would I respect them to start? I have expectations, they have expectations and we try to meet in the middle. That's society.

If you think that honesty isn't a fundamental expectation for someone who's hoping to work closely with you, that's a massive sign of disrespect.
