HR Tatics
Whilst I do not say that the company being grilled here is a participant, (and I have no knowledge of how they operate) it is a very common HR practise to know the personal commitment of each staff member with respect to how much they might need the job.
For example, do they have a mortgage? Do they have a family with kids in school, wife working? In other words management find out how much you are committed to the place you live. Believe me this is a common strategy that management uses to know who can be screwed and who might not take the same amount of screwing. The issuing of assignments, extending tours with little notice, is often dealt to specific individuals that will have a reason not to cause too much trouble.
Advice, tell your employer as little as possible about your personal and financial matters. Present a personally secure image and you may just get treated better if you’re a good pilot and not too much of a bother to them.
This is particularly true in companies that do special deals with individuals.
