It's tigerdroppings and hadn't noticed. Here's your victory. Relish it, I bet it's rare for you.

He claims to have 25 direct reports and manages hundreds and also claims he’s walking people through the office showing them the break room and shite.

He’s making it up as he goes, per usual

If it's multi-hour, bring two standard water bottles, not a 1L bottle or a Stanley.


So, it is your professional advice to bring in TWO beverage vessels rather than one?

I've learned a lot in this thread.

Interviewed hundreds of people. Don’t think I’d care one way or the other if someone brings in a coffee or water. Now if it’s a bottle covered in a bunch of stickers or an odd color or something like that, I’ll judge that. But the beverage itself, who cares.

Give us the highlights of the interview process you are involved with. Should only need a couple of sentences.

I thought they brought a dildo or something really odd.

I’m retired so I don’t give a shite either way.

I interview the candidate, others interview the candidate, later we discuss the person. I or someone else will take them around to see the place and to lunch in some cases, depending on the job.

I’m just trying to figure out your issues here. Most interviews that I’m familiar with offer interviewees coffee and water. But you seem to have an issue with someone bringing their own coffee. I’m just trying to figure it out.

He rather the candidate not think about their day and rely on others to support them.

He hates to see someone come in prepared.
