Comment on CEO texts job candidates at odd hours on the weekends

Comments

""Here's something I do," she said. "If you're in the process of interviewing with us, I'll text you about something at 9 p.m. or 11 a.m. on a Sunday just to see how fast you'll respond."

This is also a good way for the prospective employee to understand what kind of work environment they'd be getting into. If the CEO interrupts me on Sunday to tell me something that's not urgent (and what could possibly be urgent if I don't even work there yet?), my response will be, "Sorry, I'm not interested in this job anymore." There, I just escaped a workaholic CEO who thinks that my entire life should belong to her company.
