Edit for concerned folks: it was a Nazi swastika. Red flag, black tilted swastika.
The swastika is used in some countries as a religious symbol, among other things. Tourist maps in Japan when I was last there still used it to represent temple locations.

Am I the only one who has the rule of "don't do interviews naked ever under any circumstances" or am I just out of touch nowadays?
Honestly, I’ve felt really weird the few times I wore a tank top, and it wasn’t even an interview.
Usually the company would underbid to get some placements, and have a small, smart team back in India or Russia do the actual work remotely. The guy on site would be a fake person who would say yes to anything and ship work to the guys in the backroom.
The interviews were… interesting. People with disguises, dark rooms with grainy video feeds, etc.
I have the advantage of a separate office but one reason I'm basically never in my office, much less even on a video muted call, unless appropriately dressed. (To be clear this needn't mean dressed up but at least T-shirt and gym shorts.) Too easy to hit a wrong button or otherwise have something on that you think is off.
Though I’ve never seen tilted one.
In fact, it’s very rare come across black color in Hindu religious ceremonies. Black represents inauspicious and evil. Of course there are a few gods who are black colored such as “shani”, “Kaali” (black, literal meaning), Yama (God of death). Most of them have something dark/negative about them but aren’t inherently evil.
In India you'll see the symbol plastered all around in front of people's home, rickshaws (taxis), and on buildings. Nazis repurposed it for their use but its roots stem from East Asia.
I once got into trouble and had to see the principal in 2nd grade for drawing the swastika while bored in class. It sucks that the Western world is largely ignorant of its positive roots and usage.
1. Interview went really great, no question we were going to hire this guy. Interview is basically over and he closes the application he was presenting with and his desktop background is hardcore porn.
2. Girl reaches up to scratch her head, boob falls out of her shirt.
3. Guy talked nearly the entire time, I had to interrupt him just to get a couple questions in.
4. Person told me they don't really want the job, they're just interviewing for interviewing experience.
5. A long time ago and I was being interviewed for a job. The guy tells me the closest parking spot to the front door is reserved for the employee of the month, and the employee of the month gets to drive the convertible mercedes in that spot for the whole month. "Do you know what that means?" He asked me. "PUSSY!!! And everybody loves pusssssssssssssssy!!!"
