Comfort hunter is a very snobbish and entitled way to refer to someone offering their time and effort to you.
And wait, was the 2nd post 'liked' by the first poster?
That means that the HR account thinks what the employee account wrote is bad, too. Both posts are bad extremes.
As an employee, if i find a prospective colleague who doesn’t ask about what they’re supposed to be doing at all, I’d be wary of them, too.
The thing is that that kind of information is usually in the offer. I'd be polite and and for confirmation and clarification but not everyone has that kind of tact and not hiring someone because they didn't ask you to repeat what it's written on the offer is kinda harsh tbh.
