I conduct technical interviews at a pre-IPO fintech in SF. Some dude came in wearing a mask. I immediately lost interest, threw him a LC hard, and switched tabs to submit strong reject feedback and resume my work while he flailed around hopelessly To all interns and new grads interviewing: stop wearing a fucking mask. If you’re incapable of thinking for yourself you can be damn sure you’ll fail at any fast paced company.
Maybe he was sick?
Sick of what? virtue signaling?
Sick of banging your mom :(
Fym
What if that dude is immunocompromised and needs masks??
They want winners at SpaceX, not people that can get a cold or a flu. People that get sick and don't want to spread it are losers. 🙄
If this person's immunocompromised, then why would they ever risk an in-person interview? Why not ask to do it over video like we did for 2 years?
what a piece of shit you are
If being called a “piece of shit” is the consequence for standing up to facile thinking, I’ll gladly wear it as a badge.
If you think "standing up to facile thinking" is denying other people's rights to wear what they want, yes you are an un-american piece of shit.
Lmfao 1) you must be very young 2) you better hope HR never finds out you did this because you could have just exposed your company to some heinous legal issues 3) I hope the candidate comes on here and finds your post and sends it to the recruiter
What legal issues? Wearing a mask isn’t a protected characteristic.
I can’t answer this without knowing your state and I am not your lawyer. But just as examples in CA, OSHA specifies employers must allow employees to wear face coverings if they voluntarily choose to do so. In addition, if the mask was used to accommodate a disability, then on the federal level, the EEOC specifies this is illegal
Looks like OP did the candidate a huge favor, can’t imagine what it would be like to work with OP
Same thoughts here. The candidate got the best outcome.
Imagine even having a hard-line stance on wearing a mask. Idiocy signaling.
OP is stupid
OP was stupid by rejecting the candidate. Coming here and boasting about it also shows an egocentric person, who just is a sheep following "DeSantis mindset"! Which also makes him a loser... The candidate must be so happy to dodge this role!
OP is smarter than you.
He could have been sick and trying to protect you…
OP is convinced that masks 😷 are expressions of the political view like the red hat. I am curious to know what IP would do in a hospital. Surgeons must wear a mask, wash hands etc.
Well, aren't they? BTW if the candidate was sick they should have rescheduled and stayed home instead of doing something that has been shown to have no impact on transmission of airborne diseases such as wearing a mask.
How did someone employ you? If you can't respect people's choices you aren't the one who is fit to lead a team or take an interview. Maybe the person was sick, maybe they have dust allergy maybe you were coughing, you could have asked to remove if it wasn't very important. But rigging the interview? I hope when you interview for the next time someone does something similar to you. Just don't like your walking style and throw the problem from toughest research paper it's there on the planet. You hire people to get company's work done , if their habits aren't unethical it's none of your business, you have the same transaction with your company.
But we get this done to us all the time. People who dare disagree with radical leftists get cancelled all the time. Now we're fighting back. F*ck you and f*ck your stupid masks.
People don't wear mask only due to covid. There are a million other reasons, like of the person themselves have cold they don't want to spread germs, there are plenty of reasons. Just be on the other side, if a person doesn't hire someone if they aren't wearing mask is that fine? It's all about having personal choice, everyone has theirs, and please don't compare it to covid times it was a worldwide emergency. So many people lost their loved and dear ones just because of people not wearing mask. That was cruel but it's past now. Now you cannot judge anyone based on their choices. Just don't make everything political as it doesn't matter to the political leaders they just treat you as a resource to earn more. Just chill.
