Run. Say you have a better offer or something, do not mention the ‘some guy’, as your reason, because you don’t want to give HR a heads up to remove it. Best leave it there for other people to be warned too.

Email back to cancel the interview.

That level of entitlement sets off my old bouncer habit of keeping an eye on cokey sales guys who were the type to get a girl drunk. They'd be a shit of a person who thought they could do no wrong. I'd still take the interview as practice but take it knowing they've likely already failed from your side. Even call the guy out on his shit saying that all nice for him but not how you work.

Your workplace is not a family situation and your job is not a competition.

These are giant red flags.

Do not go , or go just to see what these potential abusers are like.

I'd be running far far away, slowly as I'm not an athlete. Not saying I'm not very good at what I do, and I am driven but he sounds like a flog.

Would love to know he believes separates his management style from that of a micromanager. Asked directly, I don't think he'd have an answer.

A high performance manager would be sitting in on that interview, too. I bet he's got more important things to do.

I suspect this is some kind of ploy to filter out people who can detect he's a dickhead.

Also, you'd have two people to report to? Does not sound fun.

He's gonna ask you what you got up to every single weekend because we're like a family here.

I physically recoiled reading that. I'd cancel so fast.

Person sounds completely insufferable and probably narcissistic. They would be 100% a micromanager who look at long (unpaid) hours as a badge of honour.

His family situation, property achievements and ex-athlete status are completely unrelated to work but they make it part of their personality.

At the start he'd all friendly and cheery, give it a few weeks and the nightmare would start.

Also, he seems like the type who would call people 'champ' and mean it.

Run. They have a huge ego about stuff that has nothing to do with work. You'll have no privacy and be treated like a slave.

Why are the children relevant? Why is the property at 21 relevant? Honestly a completely tone deaf thing to send to a candidate.

Geez I'd be worried about that.

Personally I'd go just to see how up himself the dude is lol (probably not good advice).

I find it very weird they're so willing to share things like this over email ahead of an interview. It wouldn't make me enthused to work for the company or under this guy
