Then the interview quickly turns into a robotic caricature straight out of an HR manual. Why make the whole situation awkward and probably tank the interview just to state the obvious.

- rl3 10y agoOn the contrary, I was merely suggesting high-caliber people should be rightfully disconcerted if asked that question. Subtle indignation doesn't automatically mean passive-aggressive asshole. Besides, the entire scenario largely depends on context. I'm sure most people would find it far more beneign if the question was posed by an HR person at BigCo, rather than by the founder of a smaller company.
