One executive uses a hiring strategy called the "coffee cup test" on candidates in job interviews. He said in a resurfaced 2019 clip that he doesn't hire people who don't offer to wash their cup after the interview. Social media users are calling him out for playing a "deeply disturbing psycho-social game." Most candidates did offer to take back their cup with only a few that didn't, Innes noted at the time. The podcast episode has now resurfaced on social media, being shared on both TikTok and Reddit, with some users saying that Innes' strategy is manipulative.
