I remember this one time I really botched a job interview. I was young, in my early 20s, and I applied to do surveillance at a casino. You know, the eye in the sky, watch 20 monitor screens at once and try to find someone cheating or stealing things in the casino, and then call the security guards on them. Well, I got an interview with the head of casino security and things were going well.

Well, I got an interview with the head of casino security and things were going well.

We hit it off and he liked my resume. But then he asked me one last question. If you saw me stealing in the casino, would you turn me in? Now, I was dumbfounded by this question. What is this, some kind of ethics test? I mean, he's the head of security. If I saw him stealing, who would I even report it to? I was baffled on how to answer this. But I wanted this job bad.

So I did a whole bunch of mental gymnastics to try to read his face and see what answer he wanted. I mean, the first thing that popped into my mind was that quote from the Godfather. Here, listen. You're my older brother, and I love you. But don't ever take sides with anyone against the family again. Don't take sides against the family? Who do you think started the whole casino business?

It was mobsters. So what did this head of security cherish more? Family or the law? It's an impossible thing to answer. I felt as if I was on the poker table, going head to head with him, trying to read what cards he was holding. And my job was what was on the line. Well, I blurted out, Of course I wouldn't turn you in. You're my boss.

And with that, he stood up and said, thanks for coming in, but we're looking for someone else. Good luck. And he reached out to shake my hand. I quickly realized my mistake. Taking the family side was the wrong answer. It's the definition of corruption. Even if he wanted me to always protect the family, this was just too soon of a test to ask me something like that.

I wasn't part of the family yet. Siding with him. was taking sides against the casino itself. And if he was actually corrupt, he wouldn't show his cards like that so early in the first interview with someone. So I reversed my position. I shouted, no, no, no, I would definitely turn you in. The casino is who I work for, not you.

He smiled and shook his head and walked me to the door and said, better luck next time, kid.
