Yeah, all things mentioned that you would expect as reasonable -- this was strictly my decision, I didn't ask this of anyone else, and indeed I'll take some time because I could use the rest. The candidate still wasn't accepting of any decision. Frankly, I don't think it was the timecrunch that really bothered him -- it was the effort associated with it. Purely a hunch on my part, but I think there is a question of adaptability, task-switching and dealing with re-prioritization. As for expectations I set with my employees, I insist on work/life balance. Several on my staff have kids (I do as well). A few are in soccer leagues. Others do only knows what in the off-hours. My expectation is that time away from work greatly enhances productivity when at work, so it's a payoff for us. We have long-term goals, and I want to keep the crew we have around us happy and hungry (for success.)
