The former values timeliness and a focus on one event at a time (interview separate from client conversation) and is typical of Western culture. The latter is less concerned about timeliness, may have multiple events running at the same time, and tends to adapt to situations as they unfold. If the interviewer fits the polychronic perspective, he may have been testing your sensitivity to and willingness to work in such a culture and with his clients.

Good God stop grinding this axe all over the Jobs forum, do you think you are being subtle?

Cool so you read one article and now think you’re an expert?

This is racist. Don't pat yourself in the back for being woke. It's hard to be more racist than saying certain cultures just can't be timely.

Not only is the interviewer not here but the office is locked and I'm outside waiting without a coat because I wore a blazer. I called at 11:55 to say I was here and he said he was running an errand and would be back in 5. That was 18 mins ago. Do I just leave at some point? I drove 45 mins to be here.

OP, I hope you left. That is the sign of a company that its disorganized and will not be a good place to work.

While I'm not sure about the whole take in this comment, I can't help but feel like that interview was planned that way. 30 min late? Another person just walks in? Outrageously personal and tragic stories? It just seems a little over the top.

Unemployment is preferable over dealing with that moron

I would not wait any longer than 30 minutes
