Official transcript

Job Interview. Boss: Tell me your process for solving this sort of problem. Man: I would ignore it for a week and likely discover that it wasn't important in the first place. If it still matters after a week, I would hold fake job interviews and ask people how to solve it. Boss: Apparently, that doesn't work.

JOB INTERVIEW TELL ME YOUR PROCESS FOR SOLVING THIS SORT OF PROBLEM.

I WOULD IGNORE IT FOR A WEEK AND LIKELY DISCOVER THAT IT WASN'T IMPORTANT IN THE FIRST PLACE.

IF IT STILL MATTERS AFTER A WEEK, I WOULD HOLD FAKE JOB INTERVIEWS AND ASK PEOPLE HOW TO SOLVE IT.

APPARENTLY, THAT DOESN T WORK.
