Anyone ever have an interview that turned combative from the person conducting the interview? Recently did a round of interviews and all the partners were great but the senior counsel interviewed with was awful.

Need advice and help.

I have realized I grew up in a household where my dad did not treat my mom as an equal. He belittles her, is rude and convinced his way is the only way.

I figured this bowl being specific to Texas would understand importance of oil and gas industry.
