HR likes to setup lunch interviews. I'm supposed to eat lunch while interviewing someone, who I assume is eating lunch as well. This is supposed to create a relaxed interview situation for all parties. I've accepted that someone may see me drop food on myself and laptop.
- korginator 6y agoThis has got to be the most brain-dead idea I've come across in a very long time. In an interview I want both of us to focus on the interview, and not pretend to be relaxed and casual with someone I've never met in my life. That sends very wrong signals on all sorts of levels.
- hntrader 6y agoHR needs to justify their existence and bloated salary by doing something. They're good and necessary for paperwork etc but are just so destructive when they're in a position of influence (or autonomy + executive authority). I wish more people would realize this.
