Hold your thumbs, folks

P. is in a chat with someone who reached out to him about a job - if nothing else, let him have a good chat

Thumbs held and all crossable things crossed!

[epiphyta]

Thanks, D. - it turned out to be an "Oh, wow, no" sort of thing, but the kind thoughts were very welcome!

Thumbs held.

Thank you, love - he was talking himself into it after the conversation, and that's not what I want for him in a job. And then the researching and he climbed on the Nopetopus.

Wow - a narrow escape!!!

Adding to the "oh what no", one of the VPs is notorious for behaving immoderately on social media! P. said that if nothing else, he has his own reputation to think about and would send a polite "After consideration, I don't believe this would be a good fit" note to the hiring manager on Monday.

Eeek, checking out more deeply into a job offer is such a wise thing to do. Imagine getting stuck working for that guy! Yuck.

Someone in a Reddit group posted the .pdf of the written interview - I'm tempted to send the link to Alison at "Ask A Manager" and watch her flail in print over it.

OOoh - that sounds as if it might be a bullet dodged...

The more we learn about the company, the more we're hearing "Flee! Flee for your lives!" P. is now thinking about finding something good and inviting the nice hiring manager to tag along. :D

Sounds like a plan...
