Start the interview with one person, either sex. Second, also either sex, enters five minutes later, with snacks and drinks, apologizing up and down.

Then see how the candidate reacts when the second person sits and asks a question.

alternatively you answer by sheepishly staring into your lap and never raising your head the entire interview

thanx for explanation.

There are a lot of US cultural assumptions that are awkward in the UK, make no sense at all in .de and even less in .pl (for instance)

Yet us anglophones are still making those assumptions.

Also, writing about any of it requires technical language in the same way that writing about, say, unix does.

Maybe I should write a book on how to mask like a human. But then again, some techbro might read it, so perhaps not.

nothing i said is remotely like that. please learn to read

i still don't understand you. speak specifically and coherently what you are trying to say

thank you.
may be I start to understand something.

I'm small-biz - one man person band. Not much experience with BigFishes. [only some, rather bad]

So - i need to understand something.

[you use to much modern language to me - i'm not so up to date with it]

@benroyce @Jamoteusz

This is about 'culture fit' isn't it.

Like, if that culture is yt cis dude sports huel bro-down last in the office wins, then that's the way it is and you have to fit in.

But if the culture is queer/trans positive syndicalist caring-responsibility and MH aware diversity forward then that's dangerous and discriminatory?

No. Tech interviews are nice, but what you really want to do is avoid dickheads who'll break a working team.

The fun part is , #Grafana has something we call Wayfinders. If I say no on an interview, it's a hard no and the hiring manager can't override

your average person of average intelligence can understand social context and code switch easily

how we act around each other, gender related or not, is very different in church/mosque/temple, vs the home, vs the street, vs the coffee shop, vs employment scenario, etc

how a person acts in their home country vs adopted country is all code switching too

anyone can grasp context and expectations instantly

"we have to teach them" seems condescending to me

we have to teach them before examination.

But you are right.

Thanx a lot for expirience exchange.

Cheers, mate!

i think anyone from any culture can understand hierarchy in employment situations, and what you're saying seems rather patronizing to people from other cultures. you're saying they are unable to understand the power dynamic of an interview scenario
