We all have that friend who thinks 'fashionably late' means showing up half an hour after the fun starts! But what if you could outsmart their chronic lateness by giving them an earlier time? Is it justifiable to lie about the start time to ensure they arrive when everyone else does? / Job interview attire. Dress down or suit up (19:15)? On the show: Heyang, Steve Hatherly & Li Yi

  • Discussion keeps the world turning.

  • This is round table.

  • You're listening to Roundtable with myself, he Young.

  • I'm joined by Steve Hatherley and Lee Yee in the studio.

  • Coming up, we all have that friend who thinks fashionably late means showing up an hour after the fun starts.

  • But what if you could outsmart their chronic lateness by giving them an earlier time?

  • Is it justifiable to lie about the start time to ensure that they arrive when everybody else does?

  • And the recent incident of a female job seeker wearing shorts to the interview has sparked a discussion about what it really means to dress professionally.

  • Should personal expression take precedence over conventional standards?

  • Our podcast listeners can find us at Roundtable China on Apple Podcast.

  • If you have questions that you want us to answer on social issues, business, technology, or whatever moves your, you can send those our way.

  • Roundtablepodcastq.com is where you can do it.

  • Emails are fine, but voice memos are always better.

  • Now, on roundtable, let's switch it up for a different topic discussion.

  • Everybody has that friend.

  • The one who shows up 45 minutes late to dinner, the one who lost track of time before the big birthday party, the one who says they're on their way to the bar and hasn't left the house yet.

  • And who knows?

  • Maybe that person is you.

  • But here's a question for you.

  • Is it reasonable or acceptable to lie to a habitually late person, giving them an incorrect expected arrival time with the goal of making them arrive on time for the real time?
