Why is it considered a dick move to be early as an employment candidate? As long as the candidate is unobtrusive and keeps themselves busy, all it shows me is that they value the opportunity enough to budget extra time for things like traffic, etc.
(Of course, now we do everything remote, so I wouldn’t even know if they are early)
- qwerty456127 5y agoAs a child I have been taught everybody should do their best to arrive as precisely on time as possible yet +/- 15 minutes is always absolutely fine. Nobody is a precision machine, traffic is always a disaster so that's natural and being crazy pursuing extreme punctuality is just unreasonable stress for everyone. Apparently obsessive-compulsive punctuality, being sure everyone must arrive on time with sub-minute precision is a psychological disorder caused by some sort of childhood trauma. It was a shock for me to encounter this but given the fact the job, the company and the boss himself are pretty awesome in all the other aspects I take this with understanding and acceptance.
