A systems manager who once applied at Google told me about a bizarre situation: Google booked two applicants for the same interviewer at the same time. And they just expected everyone to deal with it. It seemed like Google did this all the time, says the applicant.

Either the world's biggest search company can't organize its schedules...or Google's doing this on purpose. Why?

Well, maybe they're just pulling a Frank Sinatra. The crooner used to bring a woman up to his room, where she'd see another woman waiting. Then everyone knew what Frank had planned. And to see Google do that? Man, that's slick.
