I had an interview set up for a new job. It requires me to catch a plane out of town. My boss decides he wants to fly in tomorrow into the SAME airport and interview a new candidate with me...on a 1 day's notice. It is a tiny airport. What are the odds I run into him at the airport? I told him a pretty good excuse, but Murphy's law is closing in on me.  Which airport are we talking about here? I hope not Shreveport. LOL why? Oh, no reason in particular that I ask. That's just a pretty fuckin' small airport, bro.  Much smaller. Much. The Lake charles airport is so small there's actually free airport parking. Plus I only recall two ticket desks. I pray for your sake it isn't Lake Charles.

Where's he flying in from? Find out what time that flight is supposed to get in. If your flight leaves after his arrives, make sure you arrive well after his flight gets in. If your flight leaves before, no problems.
If they are in the same time window, check out the arrival and departure gates. Arrive early enough to sit farther out than his arrival gate, facing the other direction. When he arrives, he'll be looking for the exit to baggage claim, not toward other gates. If he arrives at farthest gate, then hang out, watching for his flight to arrive. When it arrives and they begin disembarking, you go in the bathroom and take a 15 minute break on the crapper, but not the one right by the baggage claim. |

That's what I was thinking. Imagine the awkward moment when you show up to be interviewed by your own boss. A quick thinker would come up with a story about how you decided to actually take your boss up on the offer and now you're wondering where the candidate is... |

No, he wants to meet in my town with interviewee. I'm traveling to another state. I've already interviewed the guy myself and he used to work for us. It's really a no-brainer, he's a shoe-in. |

No reason for the boss to be upset if you're going on vacation/to visit family/whatever as you said you were, right? So if you see him in the airport, be sure to go up to him and say hello. Don't try to skulk around. |

I've never really understood the "I'm interviewing and don't want my boss to find out" dynamic.
As an employer (and I've been one) I want to know when my employees are dissatisfied to the point of leaving AND as an employee I've never been a fan of telling lies to my boss. If I'm interviewing for a competing company/position, I let my boss know that my schedule may be hinky in the near future because I'm on someone else's schedule. If my employee has a hinky schedule because prospective employers want to see them at the drop of a hat, it would be nice to have notice as opposed to them just calling out sick. |

Because too many employers do not share your view on this. Nobody wants to get fired when the boss finds out they're looking for a new job. |

Not all employers see it the same way. Some will see that you are looking for better options, and realize that they will suffer if you just up and leave, so they counteroffer to keep you around until they can replace you according to your plans. Put another way, If I'm marketing myself, I want to do it on my terms. If I choose to share that with my current boss, that's my choice, but I want to do it only if I think it will help me and not for any other reason. The same rules apply to buying and selling anything. You only want to show the cards you want to show. You sound like you would be a straight shooter, but I don't think that's the norm. |

He is known for his firing tendencies. Extremely hot headed. HR has had to rein him in. He's been written up for firing employees for turning in valid overtime. He most definitely WOULD fire me if he knew. Getting a day off is damn near impossible even though I am over 100 hours in the hole since March as a salaried employee. Even with the excuses I gave him, he still called my number 4 times. The interview went well, thanks for asking.

I did not run into him. I entered the airport, did a quick recon run, picked up my tickets, then entered the secure waiting area. Two other flights came in, I waited in a stall until the "piss rush" resided, then returned to the waiting area. Not much I could do after un-boarding later that evening, it was a late return so I doubted he would be awaiting another flight.
The interview went very very well. I passed the exams flawlessly, the behavioral interview was fantastic. The latina HR girl was freaking gorgeous, had to concentrate on keeping my eyes on hers. The technical interviewer was very intense and asked some questions I could not answer due to lack of experience with the particular equipment. I think I would like very much to contribute their team, they seem to live up to the reputation they have earned as a company. Misleading my boss is a very uncomfortable experience for me as I pride myself on my directness and honesty. However, I saw no other recourse with the situation being what it was. The broken promises I have witnessed and received made it a little easier to swallow and I have to do what I believe is the right thing for my wife and kid. Still distasteful. There were no repercussions today and there is a reason for that that I cannot go into here. Sometimes even managers find themselves in delicate and sticky situations. 
Who dares, wins. |

If he asks, look him in the eyes and tell him the truth. Then tell him you want more money. Is his daughter cute? Bend her over a rail and give her what she begs for... If he gets snippy, kick his dog and tell'm he dresses gay. Seriously, business is business.
