@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz with some conviction, you can treat them like that!
during the interview process, ask them questions, and if you don't like what you hear, keep looking!
this effect heightens if you already have a job, since you don't need to quit your previous job to do this; you can be as picky as you like in that case
though if your resources are running low, it's true you might need to settle for something not too great before you start looking for your *real* job after you get hired
