This is a question Job Interview Disasters

The boss showed me the shop floor, complete with loose floor tiles, out-of-date equipment and prospective colleagues eyeing me like a raw steak. "Christ, what a craphole", I said. I think that's the moment I blew it. Tell us how you didn't get the job.

So, let's just quickly recap:
Candidate:
(a) was excellent on paper
(b) aced the interview process
(c) answered the "trademarked final question" with honesty, humility, self-effacing humour, and showed an understanding of the human nature of his friends...

Clearly a non-starter. Hire this guy, and you might accidentally have ended up with a real person on your team, instead of a bunch of up-tight cunts! Close call.
