I had a leader once who told us outright any mention that Haskell was a motivation for the job is a red flag. It was a Haskel codebase. Turns out we failed to hire basically anyone (most were all yes but a single no from the leader) and then the leader pushed us to move off Haskell citing difficulty hiring and that he had hired people in another office who didn't know or want to learn Haskell. Dirty tactics.

Yeah, that was planned from the beginning.

Oh definitely. There was even more bad actor nonsense too but I don't wanna say to much or else I sky demask myself. But I promptly quit and the dude went from buttering me up to to make me stay to insulting my new job in the exit interview real quick once I made it clear I had no interest in being his employee.
If my current employer hired this dude as VPE, I would immediate quit. Just an asshole.
