“We shamed and discarded a potential employee because he was too professional.” What a fucking joke.

Or the interviewer could have acknowledged the stress this put on the applicant and actively suggested they take care of the baby, short break, no problem.

But the interviewer chose to be shitty and judgmental.

you don’t understand, every challenge your employee faces is a good chance to test them further!!

of course don’t ever try to apply this to the boss by testing their character / reaction etc when they are under stress, they’re fine at it - and testing them shows a lack of trust

always at least 2 tiers with these people

I mean it’s not a leap of faith to assume that maybe the mother was looking after the baby. The interviews are scheduled, it could be easy to get someone to watch the baby. Additionally, ferberizing. And possible less probable, a neighbor or someone else’s baby.

This is more than likely a terrible company to work. They make snap judgments, and obviously the hiring person has some holyer than though agenda.

Honestly, I died inside reading the post, especially with the “true colours” and “want people on their team who aren’t afraid to be vulnerable.”

What a bullet dodged by the interviewee. I wouldn’t want to work for those fools.
