"I see. So you failed to communicate effectively with a coworker, which resulted in an hour of downtime. I didn't hear you mention anything about seeing this as a problem, let alone addressing it. Thanks for your time."
- stcredzero 8y agoSo you failed to communicate effectively with a coworker, which resulted in an hour of downtime. Nope. He was privy to our stopping the flow of business logic into the DB/ORM code. He failed to realize the implications and communicate with us. I didn't hear you mention anything about seeing this as a problem, let alone addressing it. Pure projection. Of course that's a problem. Thanks for disqualifying yourself up front.

- hluska 8y agoThat was nicely done and I agree - I'd rather be unemployed than work for a company that would think through something like that! Great job. :)
- DoofusOfDeath 8y agoThat's right. I was trying to play devil's advocate by showing that a sufficiently malicious interviewer can throw mud on almost anything.
