Had an interview at Weber yesterday. The guy was a complete dick. Second group of people were more pleasant but insisted Weber has the smartest talent ANYWHERE. SO dogmatic. Thoughts?

If he is a dick on the first date and you go one a second date you've laid the path for the relationship. You'll be working intense days for a dick hoping for an occasional thank you. Get off the crazytrain now. You deserve better.

Reorgs are just a part of the corporate world. If you haven’t been a part of one in your career yet, then you most likely haven’t been in the corporate workforce for very long. If you have been a part of a reorg, however, how do you personally approach it? There are many factors at play, but in general do you try to establish relationships with the individuals you know will be key contributors and/or decision makers going forward? Or do you lay low and let what ever happens be/hope for the best?
