please don't speculate, as she said if they were looking for "more experience" why would he interviewed her in the first place? He also admitted that her cv was interesting
>(If he's that creepy, he'd get her the job and hit on her then)
hitting on a co-worker is much more complicated than hitting on someone outside the company. that's the point.
He is clearly abusing his position of power, it's not ethical and probably also against the company's policy.
- ddoolin 12y agoYou're speculating in the same breath with which you say not to speculate. We don't know why they interviewed her, and frankly we interview people fairly often that don't have the requisite experience on paper because we know it often has little to do with what's on the paper, a lesson HN readers are VERY familiar with (the whole "meritocracy" thing).
- woof 12y ago>please don't speculate Come on... >He is clearly abusing his position of power What power? He's both unprofessional and socially inept, but he holds no power over her at that stage.
- genofon 12y ago> What power? He's both unprofessional and socially inept, but he holds no power over her at that stage. he can still hire her EDIT: changed citation
- ddoolin 12y agoThat is some serious speculation! There is no way you could possibly know if he has that power just from what she wrote.
- genofon 12y agoif he could hire her before the email, he can hire her after.
- ddoolin 12y agoDid you read the post? > A few minutes later he sent me an email saying he'd spoken to his team and they were looking for someone with a lot more experience It was a team decision, and while the quote is not final, points more to the fact that he _isn't_ able to just unanimously reverse the decision. At that point, the entire team would have to be colluding.
- genofon 12y agoI've read the post, except the screening interview (that went well, otherwise she wouldn't be there) the only direct interaction she had was with this (creepy) guy so they rely on him for the final decision.
- zak_mc_kracken 12y ago> He is clearly abusing his position of power He holds no position of power over her after the interview is over. Obviously, he would if he had asked her out in the middle of the interview (now that would be way worse).
