Or in Mingo's case, a step stool.

No. Just a bunch of dudes with a false sense of importance.


I really hope these dudes never make fun of ridiculous lists on dating apps, they sound as petty if not pettier than divorced single moms. And the irony over caring about such pointless stuff when Gen Z is known for anxiety & being in their heads too much already.

I get some things but quibbling over an iced fricking coffee says a lot more about the interviewer than the candidate imo. Your $75k a year sales job just isn't that important

That's exactly what it feels like. Grown men are ruling people out on something as insignificant as having a beverage, the same way psychotic women treat dating. "Oh he didn't text me within 12 hours of the date, red flag!"

At least put proper attire on it.

Well crap, let them bring in a 3 piece combo meal too. Or McMuffin. I mean, work lets you eat too so your reasoning means they can bring in food as well.
I completely forgot about this until I read your response. I had someone bring a child with a happy meal once

Doesn't it seem clear to you that this person has never hired anyone? I had a candidate interview for a six-figure job and he pulled out his phone. I instantly ended the interview. Bring your resume/notepad and nothing else (for female, purses are ok); I view things like coffee, phones, and the like as "security blanket". It screams immaturity and naturally, I do not hire people who have the maturity of a teenager.

I despise virtual interviews, although I have will do them when necessary. If they are local, I will have them come in for the first round of interviews. Much easier to decide whether to legitimately move forward on a candidate.

Virtual interviews ate excellent.

The phone situation I agree with, the rest of your post, not so much.
