The interviewer, a very nice person, did not even realize the impact of my statement and wanted me to continue with their process which was next a coding interview. So I had to repeat myself and we stopped it. Truthfully it might have been a good opportunity. | |

I think that there is a very real difference between what workers under 30 find offensive vs. what workers over 30, whose self-esteems were not assumed to be so fragile, find offensive. This may have been at the root of what your friend was feeling, and if it is, he probably would have fallen even further afoul of it later on. | |

We were all taken by surprise, but the interview ended on good terms and later we all agreed we would rather find out now than 2 weeks later when we offered him a job and he decides to tell us then | |

Removed offensive language (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spastic - very offensive word in the UK)
