This morning, a gentleman in a nice suit was standing in the lobby of our office, looking to speak to our director of software and holding some Krispy Kreme boxes. A few minutes later, he was shown into the office across the hall from mine, which happens to belong to that same director of software. From what I overheard before the door was shut, it seemed to be an interview situation. I thought this odd, because interviews were typically done in the conference room with several people. Also, interviewees don't usually bring food.
After he left, I trotted across the hall to ask who the guy was. Apparently, he was a very persistent applicant who wanted a summer internship here. He'd called several times, each time being very forward and clear about his abilities and his goals, and now he'd come in.
And the doughnuts?
The guy is currently employed at Krispy Kreme, and he brought those in, I suppose, to suck up. He must not have realized that we are a small company, only thirty or so people deep, and so he brought six dozen doughnuts. Six dozen fresh, hot-and-now, glazed Krispy Kreme doughnuts. I hate to encourage brown-nosing, but give that man a job!
