The Dumbest Interview Question

Yup: Why are we play­ing this game? Is it just to make sure we are all “in” on the game? Is this the busi­ness world’s equiv­a­lent of a modem hand­shake? You just want to make sure I haven’t been liv­ing under a rock? Maybe we can replace this waste of time with some secret hand …
