@gray@merping.synth.download this really reminds me of a person I work with. I suspect that they’re autistic. My wife, who teaches autistic children suggested the same when I described some interactions without mentioning autism. The replies here are very interesting.

@gray@merping.synth.download some people do it because they are assholes who think that it's funny, and some people do it sincerely because they are autistic. It used to be harder for me to tell the difference, but I'm gradually improving.

@gray@merping.synth.download Well, telling them that I found that question to be deeply flawed because of human nature didn't fly with the prospective boss either. His deputy seemed to love it... My answer was that the question was loaded, people would answer "I often work too much!" and an axe murderer would probably not implicate themself, thereby requiring the interviewee to lie about their person.

@gray@merping.synth.download @ohmu@social.seattle.wa.us Reminds me of the old (90s) joke: A helicopter pilot gets lost in the fog and his instruments are going haywire. He spots a nearby building and flies in close. He motions to the workers and shows them a hand-written sign: "Where am I?" The workers write their own sign: "In a helicopter!" The pilot immediately knows what direction to fly, because he's most certainly at the Microsoft campus.

@gray@merping.synth.download oooooo I need to put this one in my back pocket next to I: What's your biggest weakness? C: Honesty. I: I don't think that's a weakness. C: I don't give a fuck what you think.

@gray@merping.synth.download Yeah, I hate standard interview questions. My standard answer now (if I ever have to interview again) is that I go out too fast in a road race.
