Does she have another job and was meeting during her lunch break?

Her resume says she doesn't have another job. Also, she told me she doesn't have a job. I'm working from home too, and she would continue to work from home if given this job.

Yeah I found it pretty disrespectful and showed poor judgement. I don't need you to suit up or be super formal, but maybe don't be chewing during the 30 minutes you have to pitch yourself for this position

Take a hard pass with extreme prejudice. It shows IMHO that her judgment and professionalism are lacking. It is probably the tip of the iceberg.

It would only make sense if she had taken two bites, forgets about it because still working and billing, then when it’s good and cold she looks up at 7:30pm after she swore she was “leaving the office in 10 minutes, honey” about 5 times in the past two hours.

I thought it was weirdly ballsy. Made me wonder if she was hiding some super powers that I should know about.

Millennials 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm a millennial and don't think that's okay. But to be fair, I'm pretty sure she falls in the millennial bracket too

Power Move.
