This is actually a perfect example of an abuse of power.
The low quality of the people given so much power over our lives is simply breathtaking. It's like somebody imported the cast of Idiocracy to serve as the Inner Party of 1984.

It's generally how you present your pov on this board.

I'm not sure what calling them on it is supposed to do. If I'm talking to any person and they are incessently yawning at me they are sending the message that something is wrong with them. Sending that kind of message to a potential employer is a poor decision.

It does not mean something is wrong with them. It could be any number of valid and understandable reasons. Jumping to negative conclusions serves no one.

So, if a home owner decides to hire the happy, energetic housekeeper and pass on hiring a housekeeeper because s/he yawns through out the interview and looks disinterested, it's an abuse of power? Or only when co's do it?

Hmmm...you sure that's just not the way YOU'RE seeing my posts because of your own bias?
I don't have a bias. I don't own a corp or have loyalties to any. Your thread about excusing child abuse in the name of your biased cause is what cast a light on your position.

There is no jumping any where. The reason does not matter. Yawning incessently conveys something is wrong because it's not appropriate for an interview as well as a number of other instances. If you don't have the good sense to keep it to yourself then I don't why you would take issue with someone equally reacting to the display.

I once had an interview and the interviewer brought her boss into meet with me and join the interview. Her boss came in wearing jeans and an inappropriate top; had her cell phone in her hand was texting while I was answering questions; and just got up in the middle of me talking walking out of the room looking at her phone texting. Never came back.
My opinion of that company changed that very moment and I couldn't wait to end the interview. I also felt second hand embarrassment for the interviewer who invited her boss in as her boss was disrespectful to both of us.
I was like...WOW... I have seen it all now. Clearly professional works both ways and employers should not think thy are exempt from the rules just because RIGHT NOW the trend is in their favor. Rude is rude and it doesn't matter what side of the interview you are on.

You don't have to own a corporation or have loyalties to any specific corporation.
The fact that you defend what's an abuse of power by employers (to turn away a perfectly good candidate simply because you didn't like that they yawned) reveals your bias.
