I felt this point was very out of place on that list. I've interviewed so many people that had an average tenure of 6-9 months across many different jobs. In my field, if someone only stays for 6-9 months, then it was a complete waste of time. I suppose I could just outright reject the candidate without letting them explain, but that seems to be worse than just asking the uncomfortable question.
