Unexpected: Brought into an impromptu meeting with the owner and a couple of engineers. Owner directed one of the engineers to get a manufacturing SOP he had recently created. Since that was one of the tasks I was going to be hired to do (and it was currently being done by the engineers), the owner asked me to look at the SOP and "judge" how good it was. (Oh, with the engineers sitting right there.) Needless to say, this was a very uncomfortable situation, without an easy "win." ~ If I decided it was "crap," I would immediately alienate/undermine/embarrass the very engineers that I would potentially be collaborating with if I was hired for the job. If I decided it was "great," I would potentially be eliminating ME!
