Questions to avoid asking during an interview:
- Do you have a policy on missing work for communications with a hostage negotiator?
- Are employees who drive to work permitted to sleep at the office if they get too drunk after work to drive home?
- Do you observe a “bring a servant to work” day?
- Which employee would do better here, the one who prefers to work alone or the one who prefers vigilante justice?
- Does your company have any policies that would prevent cannibals from working here?
- If hired, would I be given access to company bank accounts and, if so, how much money do those accounts typically hold?
- Is there a safe place to store explosives during office hours?
- What is the maximum number of days an employee can fail to report to work before being fired?
- I noticed that your company allows employees to bring pets to work; does that include kangaroos?
- What is your home address?
Ha!
11. I like to play on the internet all day long, are you okay with that, as long as I find five minutes to do the mindless dumb work you are asking of me?
Well, I’m sorry, but I’d have to know the responses to all those questions before I’d come to work for you.
