Oh, I forgot one from way back. Was interviewing for a small P&L job, manage about 3 people directly. Get a guy with relevant and interesting experience in the market, but not quite what we do. Has been a travelling sales guy for years, very successful, very slick. In the interview, wants us to pay for him to relocate to CR from Florida. Okay not unusual, part of the package.
But then proceeds to say he will only work 4 days a week, needs one full day per week to work on his golf game - very important to him and there's a business benefit for golfing with customers. He thought he was so above the job, that we would just beg him to take it and he could just ask for anything. Needless to say, that was a big NOPE from me.
Found out later... he owned a house in CR, and his wife and kids lived there, and he lived with them when he wasn't in Florida. He was going to move back in with them permanently, but wanted a big sign-on check for "moving" here and maybe buying a bigger house. He just thought he could con us into it. Dodged a bullet.
