You asked a question and I answered, so I thought there was more.

Whatever, I'm not in the fucking mood to fight over this.

The conversation was already dead. And if anyone derailed it, it was you with post 58. Shut the fuck up and take some personal responsibility.

Shut the fuck up, JMO

I have no idea what your job is, where you work, or who your boss is, but he sounds like a boss I had named Tyson (Tigran actually, but he went by Tyson)

Most companies have a waiting area. In a world of smart phones, its really no big deal. I dont see why people would want someone to sit around in a car like that.

Ive had candidates show up to an hour early. Some people have crazy commutes and need to leave extra early or spend hours in traffic. That would be lame to expect them to wait in the car for an hour.


Sounds like you're a reasonable person and understand mitigating circumstances. I can't say the same for all senior management. Some would be annoyed that they feel put on the spot and others would get a bad vibe from the candidate as if they've got nothing better to do than sit in a waiting room.

Also I think that depends on the size of the company. A lot of companies just have a room they stick you in or a common area where you're in full view of the entire office. I don't think that's a good place to be if you're going in for an interview and you're nervous. Personally I'd rather walk straight in with as little wait as possible.

Generally I'd advise someone avoid doing something that could easily give off a bad impression or annoy the person who's interviewing them.

I got the above advice from my father who was a career diplomat. When he'd go to meet very senior government officials (ambassadors, secretary of state, PMs, etc) he would make absolutely sure never to arrive early.


Its not just me but my company. They tend to treat others like actual people. I really like how far they go in welcoming the candidates who interview. Thats part of what made me want the job - the environment they promote.

Honestly, I wouldnt want to work for a company where they made a big stink about me showing up too early. Mind you, I personally havent done it. But a company that would turn someone down over that, isnt a company Id want to work for. It speaks volumes of their culture.

Also, I dont think Ive ever had an interview where they didnt have some kind of waiting room. And Ive interviewed for many small companies, so maybe thats why I feel that way.

Right?

I've pointed that out to him before and all he does is "focus on yourself, I'm working on my own behavior" or whatever shit

You mean like the advice of you telling me to shut the fuck up when the majority of CE per the poll agreed you should shut the fuck up? You really are quite the hypocrite.

@DragonGirlYuki See?

(Which is funny because in the exact same poll, a higher proportion of users voted that JMO should shut the fuck up)

I can't believe y'all are complaining about someone showing up 24 minutes early. Our job market is fucking doomed.

Again, I highly doubt anyone in here is truly complaining, let alone imagining a world in which someone showing up way early would negatively impact their chances.

I don't speak for others, but I feel like I'm saying this for the fifth time; I take no qualm with people showing up that early. But if someone shows up at 10:35 for an 11AM interview, they shouldn't be surprised when they don't actually get seen until 11. Again, that is not a negative thing. It's just a fact.

My boss is the one who thought an adequate punishment would be to delay the interview proportionately to the amount of time said interviewee was early. That is a dick move.
