      no no no. if I’ve learned anything at work you fire the most competent one, the bore.

      then the asshole quits because he can’t work with the idiot.

      and then the idiot gets promoted to management when you get fired.

      and the cycle continues.

    Trick question! IATA: IDGAF about your rules about who can work with who.

    That’s right! I said “who” not “whom”! I don’t care about your grammar rules either: like putting punctuation inside quotations. Or starting a sentence with a conjunction.

    Did I get the job?

      Honestly this is the most sane take. If the asshole can’t work with 2/3 of the team then they need to GTFO. I don’t have the time or mental bandwidth to deal with shit like that.

    I think the correct answer is:

    So you don’t want to hire me for my leadership skills you just want me to be the face of your decisions? You’ve already decided the asshole needs to move first, why not just move him yourself?

    The not alone condition does not apply if manager is with them

    1. take asshole
    2. take bore, but return with asshole
    3. take idiot
    4. take asshole.

      I love this idea of the asshole getting transferred to a new project, removed from said project shortly after, only to be put back on the project after another short period.

      Haha! Take that, asshole!

      In this scenario, you probably wouldn’t want the idiot to be the last to leave the old project. Leave the bore for last, to wrap it up. Also, introducing the bore last to the new project allows the whole team to learn from the idiot’s mistakes, for which the asshole is well aware of by that time.

    Fire the asshole, split their work with the remaining 2 employees. Give yourself a raise.

    I’m glad companies are asking real world questions instead of the silly made up ones

        • You’re right, I want thinking of the manager thermals as counting as another person for the purposes of “alone with”, but provided they can move back and forth simultaneously with their employee (or they’re always counted as part of the new team) then the puzzle is possible.
