Many would agree, but it's not relevant to the free speech debate

It's the same logic as those who made the "this guy kinda sucks though" argument based on George Floyd's criminal history to deflect from what the issue really was about - policing practices.

Maybe the company won the deal because the CTO and CPO said "yep - we can do that in 12 weeks" whereas the competitor said "we need to confer with our building teams to estimate the full project timeline" and promptly lost the deal...

Joking aside, Something I find fascinating about ancient wisdom literature that has been in circulation for centuries - honed and refined generation after generation, is how succinctly key concepts are boiled down in ways that can be easily grasped/remembered. (In this case, avoiding conflict of interest/segregation of duties.)

I've hired a lot of people over the course of my career, and questions like this would be a major red flag. I'd pass on the candidate.

Completely fine to ask how performance is measured and/or how performance reviews are handled, but the nature of these questions is off-putting. Is a candidate trying to figure out how they can get away with being a low performer? How would their poor judgment in asking questions like this show up elsewhere? Likely a high-maintenance individual.

And, the caveats at the end of the comment indicate the author knows these questions would not make you look good to the hiring team. If the company hired you anyway, probably wouldn't be a good place to work.
