As someone who spent the last 8 years in VP & C suite positions...
If someone is asking questions about a resume gap (implying it's important)... LEAVE THE INTERVIEW.
It will stop being a thing when people realize it's none of anyone's business except yours.
The push for arbitrary obedience is part of the same problem.
You will find companies that aren't run by psychopaths but you must vote with your feet. Discourage yourself and others from putting up with this shabby behavior.
