There was actually an embarrassing exception several years ago that prompted our more formal disclosure procedure. I neglected to describe the whole Warren thing during the interview, and a couple weeks into working here the person earnestly commented that they still hadn’t met Warren Burns. They had a good sense of humor about it, but that was when I instituted the policy of kicking off every first interview with the whole story (if the candidate had applied to Warren) so it wouldn’t ever happen again.

I’m actually going to miss the laughs the whole Warren Burns story provokes at the start of the interview process.
