Your answers sound as if you have a strong feeling of superiority, avoid sharing something about you so as not to become vulnerable, and judge things heavily which you haven't experienced firsthand. I could be entirely wrong, but that's what your comment conveys to me. Does this only apply to interviews for you, because you despise them?
I can't say I've done what he did. But I do have felt the need to reply something like that to interviewers sometimes. Maybe now I'll do it, though I wouldn't burn bridges like he does, regardless of whether I'd feel comfortable working for them or not. You just don't know what the future holds..
I guess if you see my responses as burning bridges then you of course wouldn't want to do that. I don't see it as burning bridges at all. I don't take a nasty tone, but a more playful one. The point is to set the boundaries for what our relationship might be like. I have had companies come back to me months later after they figure out that they'd like a relationship on those terms because whatever they were doing in the past wasn't serving them.
No, I love interviews. I can be very extroverted. I'm charming and funny and a little brash at times.
I think it's critically important to explore, at the outset, what the boundaries of your relationship will be with any employer or business partner.
So for me, that means I lay down boundaries that I'm not interested in playing along with ridiculous ceremonies just because that's the way things have always been done. I think the way most interviews are conducted are ridiculous. Thus I push back and see what happens. You surely have your boundaries too. I feel your should respect them.
