Back in the ’90s this was a question that used to crop up at job interviews. I hated it. Like “what is your greatest weakness”, it was less an honest question than a hoop held up to test my willingness to hop through it. The honest answer would be, “working at another company after you boost your stock prices by laying off half the customer service/admin employees” but I was supposed to sit up a little straighter in my seat and say something like “striving hard in my chosen life’s work of telecom/real estate ad management/heavy equipment sales contract processing.”
Now that I am retired and in my sixties, the answer is “looking around for a home without so many stairs.”
