What’s your take?
So this hiring manager tells me "I only hire people who are 110% committed to the job" mid-yawn. Big one… like you could see his molars, his cavities, his fillings, his tonsils, caught a glimpse of last week’s lunch stuck in there somewhere, and I swear for the first time in my life I witnessed someones soul leaving the body. Anyways .. so I’m nodding like I am not distracted with all that and I care, and he starts scribbling his requirements for the position. I kid you not - 5 words, max. Couldn’t even tell you what he wrote. I’m thinking "Okay, maybe the guy’s a minimalist. Keep it simple. Right???". He then gets up, picks his bags and leaves the office.
It was 4 PM.
Should I ask him - Dude - where’s your 110%?
PS: He’s got a team of 11… maybe he’s taking the 10% from each of them to make up for his 0%.
Thoughts?

Yawning is an attempt to keep the body awake actually. I wouldn't judge him on that or the 4pm exit either. Maybe they have a healthy WLB.

Yeah I saw him do that again and again even when the team was burning midnight oil.

I don't know about the said manager but leaving the office at 4 no more has a ring to it. A lot of people have calls in the late evening and they leave for home whenever they find a free window. This helps them manage their work & home else they'll be stuck in office till late evening.

If only this manager had late night work calls, emergency to deal with or some work 😂 - he is an out and out prick
