That sucks for you. The only thing I really miss from Twitter is live tweeting during sporting or big TV events e.g. The Traitors. The hashtags on BlueSky just don't have anywhere near the same number of posts / interactions.

I did want to answer with: "given that he's the CEO of a tech company, I would imagine he could use Google Maps and arrive to where he needed to be in the same amount of time he took to dial my number and scream at me down the phone", but I held back. Although now I wish I hadn't.

I replied that in my 20+ years of experience, 12 as an EA, I've never sent my boss to the wrong meeting location and wouldn't start now. I also said I'd get the CEO to focus on getting to where he needed to be asap while I called ahead to explain and we can sort out the how it happened later.

In the latest round of interview, I was only asked one question that even slightly touched on that topic which was: "the CEO is screaming at you down the phone as he's in the wrong train station in Paris, what do you do?".
Ignore the "screaming" red flag for the moment.
