I couldn't agree more. I'm not worried about my current position but this is beyond weird.

We are not direct competitors but still, what if this guy thinks I can't be replaced at my current company, wouldn't that effect his judgement? They said they would ask any conflicts to step out of the room but why would you choose someone who can't be in all interviews.

I'm honestly thinking about pulling out of the interview...there isn't enough upside from my viewpoint.
