[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What did you do last weekend? Tell me about your vacation. What did you do on your day off? What's your kids/husband/boyfriend/girlfriend's name? Where do you live? etc. Any prying questions about family or how you spent your personal time are manipulative imo because they're meant to create a fake sense of camaraderie. That goes double if it's coming from a higher up.[/quote] This is a weird, unhealthy way to think.[/quote] NP Ha! I was on the other side of a cubicle when an interviewer and hiring manager were discussing an interviewee. They were talking about various things he had revealed in small talk that would allow them to lower his salary offer (age of his kids, whether he was stuck in this area because his parents were older, wife's work status, etc. I felt nauseous overhearing. If higher ups are "shooting the breeze " with you, watch what you say, some will use it against you. [/quote]
