Join us as we delve into job interviews that feel more like tests of stamina than actual skill assessments. See how job hunting has become a survivor's game, where only the most patient or surprisingly agreeable candidates make it through.
This episode, we meet Jerry Doubles, the CEO notorious for boasting about how quickly he can fire staff. Watch as he justifies turning the hiring process into a day-long silent vigil. Then, hear from an HR manager who places all the blame on applicants, showcasing a disconnect that's all too common in today's job market.

@ch-yq5ynYou young ones should keep quiet and produce more babies so we in power can exploit them in the future as wage slaves and abuse them by lowering salaries as they can start working by 14 years old legally. Us rich and people in the top 1% of income will call you evil unless you keep producing more workers, I mean start a family. We need to increase the labor pool each year and you must do your part as we are suffering by only having 80% of all the wealth and soon 90%. We need more yachts so let's use religion to guilt you.
You must do your part by having
more babies so we increase the labor pool
Never question the resulting exploited children into the future as workers or the exponentially increasing expenses for each child
Bulletpoints on anything is like hard locking the numbers in as an ordered priority schema. You can look up any similar such ordering and do a side by side diff to see what is actually being discussed.
This proves the boss can make you wait all day and waste your time for a job interview, but if you’re just 5 minutes late to the office once you’re hired, you’ll be fired.
And you're expected to show up dressed in a suit and tie while I have seen some of these interviewers wearing shorts and a ratty t-shirt to the interview!
"It was a test of patience, and your company failed"
We can’t be on our phones, yet the interviewers take phone calls all the time during the interview.

walking the tightrope in the circus
There is an epidemic of sociopathic bosses. I’m 58 years old and never had a problem for decades. The last two jobs I’ve had though, the bosses were a psychopath and a narcissist respectively.
Agreed. They are absolutely nasty pieces of work. Tear you down to justify not giving you the slightest pay increase. I laugh when people say that we all need to work until we're 70 in order to afford to pay out social security to everyone. Good luck! You hit your mid 40s as a woman and get dumped, or god forbid you go through menopause. Ain't no support for that hell on earth. Older men are considered 'in the way' of younger men's careers. And if there were a healthy social safety net, sure, fine. But there isn't. We will all be lucky to be working in our 50s at this rate, broke and homeless by 60.
I worked for a bipolar sociopath 10 years ago I now can recognize how dysfunctional and toxic a place is right away
@@FarBear-by6rwThat’s a great skill to have!
I hear you! 💯 agree.
I'm 66, still pushing my boulder, and will do so into my 70s, so it is what it is.
I've run into the same scenarios, especially the last 20 or so years. Insanely passive aggressive types.
Please give advice. I cant see it on time.
I went to a factory to interview once. They wanted to do a sewing test, so I sewed 3 shirts to show em what I could do and how fast.
They wanted me to stay the whole day for free. I said "Can't do. I only made space for an interview today and have other plans for the rest of my day I cannot cancel."
I was still hired, but they weren't happy they couldn't squeeze that free day.
Then when COVID hit, we were sewing face masks and were required to make 60 masks daily.
The supervisor expected me to do 90, because "I know you can do more."
I bluntly asked "Am I gonna get paid more?"
"Uh, no, but...."
"Then I'm not interested in going past 60 masks"
I left as soon as I found a better job
It’s just sad they know exactly what they’re doing. I hope you got a better job environment
standing up for yourself is very good thing, full respect would do the same. dignity and honor is a sacred thing that should be protected
30 masks more per day means that you need to add 1\3 of the salary for that day to my pocket. And that's minimum, because overworking is actually should be paid relatively more
@@artemsverhunov74131/2 more, not 1/3 more.
You are built different🎉. When you reached the 60 mask quota what did you do during work hours :0 since you don’t have to do more. They really tried to overwork you wow.
We don't have an employment problem. We have a toxic "leadership" problem.
We also have a "lack of common sense" problem in American management. Sure you want to ask "why do you want to work here". But to be honest, they want to work and make money.
These aren't dream jobs for most. They're laborer jobs. The applicants just want to feed and clothe themselves. Stop asking "where do you see yourself in 5 years?", or "If you were a caterpillar, could you whistle?". Ask if they can get to and from work. Ask if they have any skills or job knowledge from other jobs. But quit playing endless mind games trying to be important, or as if the games have any relevance to the job.
That is because the demonic concept of machiavellianism is worshipped in leadership circles. Machiavellianism thrives in a culture where honour is dead as a concept.
as a software developer and data analist, the biggest problems are: 1.- HR. 2.- Product managers.
the others are the bosses and directives, who truly are not the workforce for the labor, because the less people are in that position, the less important to the client is their work, but contradicticaly, it affect more the company and the client's finished works..
Corporate monopolies that were never supposed to exist for THESE very reasons.
From a candidates point of view there is always an employment problem...more people looking for work than jobs. Capitalism and business loves unemployment
LOL.... some companies. For those who don't know. You arrive 5 minutes early. From the start time of the interview, you give them 15 minutes. Meaning, if the interview starts at 7AM, you arrived at 6:55AM. You walked into the building and told them you were there. (the reason you arrived 5 early is so that the interview starts at EXACTLY 7 AM. This gives the secretary or whoever time to go get the dude, and gives that person time to finish up whatever they're doing and start thinking about the interview so that it can start on time.) At 7AM, that 15 minute timer starts ticking. At 7:15AM and they haven't arrived, you enquire about the Interviewer - Hey, man, seems like he's kinda busy. Do you have an ETA? Secretary - Just another 5 minutes. The interviewer gets 5 more minutes! At 7:20AM, you walk up and ask if the dude needs to reschedule. Secretary - No no, it'll just be a few more minutes. He's on his way. They get 5 more minutes. At 7:25, you walk out if that interviewer hasn't shown his or her face. Let me tell you, they're sure gonna piss and moan if you would have arrived at 7:01AM, and they are now 25 minutes late themselves. Go get breakfast and move on. There are better companies.
How about NO. The POS new he had an interview to conduct at 7 am. They get zero from you or I.
Yeah if a business person is late sometimes I'll walk out on the interview or appointment because that tells me they must not be that eager to hire anyone or lease an apartment to you if they went on lunch when you scheduled an appointment or tour. It's your cue to walk out because I have substance abuse problems I'm whiny if my needs are not met first I'm not going to meet with you. They might not think they need us to stay open but they do.
Either the interviewer is too overloaded to come interview you, or they're terrible at time management.
It's a major red flag either way. Run.
Well said, its all about etiquette, professionalism and respect for each other's time.
Some companies seem to think they can squeeze a gallon of juice out of a single lemon
They can, that's the problem. Two lemons stayed.
What audacity these employers have complaining how people want something for nothing. I guess they don't know how to use a mirror.
I’ve met plenty of managers like that. Mostly boomers.
And when they can't, the problem is that the lemon is faulty.
If you give blood, the human body goes to work and makes more. Then they can keep juicing. That is how these companies think.
If you see the words "culture, rock star, team player" on a job description, run away as fast as you can.
Add “ family” as well as “ability to multi task “
And “team” and “family.” And “well oiled machine.” Ruuun!
@@benb3799Yup. And “wear many hats.”
"High energy"
Your forgot black belt.
Too many companies act like they're doing you a favor by paying you at all. "Prove to me you want to work then we'll discuss what benefits we can offer you." Uh, no. Tell me what benefits you are offering me to help me decide if I want to sell you my time and skills.
If you are in this position, good for you, you made it. Many are not
That is why you search for a job when you already got a job.
@@eeaotly Right ! or at least keep your eyes open and maintain and expand contacts. Moreover, in professional fields, when you do have a job you look more valuable to employers, than when you are an out-of-job desperate seeker.
Because they want somebody with all the skills but paying him and treating him like student intern 😂
@@wacky3314 Funny, but sometimes that true IRL.
Listening to bosses whine that "nobody wants to work anymore" annoys the crap outta me.
There's a photo floating around which collected newspaper clippings of that phrase. The newest clipping is from 2022, then 2014, 2006, 1999, 1981... and continues to 1894.
Society as a whole isn't lazy, and they weren't in the past, either.
I found the pic on the Reddit sub r/damnthatsinteresting with the "nobody wants to work anymore" title.
Exactly - I’m a Boomer and my manager said that to me in the 1980’s. He complained about schools turning out kids who didn’t show up prepared to work.
I see more that schools doesn't teach anything that companies want and companies do not want to provide for any training so basically everything is to figure out on your own and nobody says it to you when you are child and then somebody call young people lazy
We're all in matrix. It's ridiculous how ridiculous stuff like this keeps repeating itself every generation
Society has never been less lazy than it is now.
The phrase “no one wants to work anymore” has shifted the blame onto the common folks actively looking for employment instead of the employers who think they did something unique by by eating candidates times
"No one wants to work anymore" applies to the HR too. If they would want to work, they would be able to find good employees.
@eeaotly .That company leadership is very toxic. It happend to me to work into a factory that gives you no tools, but they still want you to do the job.
If they’ll steal your time on the interview, they will DEFINITELY steal your time on the job.
Its not your time from the second you punch in to the second you punch out.
Dont like that idea, its all good, start your own business.
@@sole__doubt right, and so they should pay what you’re owed when you’re working. A whole lot of companies don’t do this! They have you working after hours or on your breaks and they do not pay you for it, and they don’t pay overtime when it’s due. Look into it-wage theft makes all other property crime look petty, as it’s in the BILLIONS. This happens to low wage fast food and retail workers and it happens to professionals, such as in healthcare. Companies get away with it and have come to expect it.
@@LeeHawkinsPhoto The agreed upon salary is what they owe you, nothing more nothing less. If you are in that position its probably because the skills you have arent that valuable. Thats the issue here, the utter lack of competence in the younger generations.
@@sole__doubt last time I checked unpaid overtime isn't legal no matter the case and the employer will have to pay damages if reported
@@misaka3468 Good thing I never even mentioned anything about "unpaid overtime."
Samsung played the waiting game with me. Cancelled first interview after waiting 2 hours, fine. Cancelled 2nd interview after waiting 3 hours. When they called for a 3rd interview, I said no, the recruiter was shocked. She kept insisting I should go, even sounded desperate. I told her "Just because I'm unemployed doesn't mean I don't value my time, I wouldn't want to work for a company that treats me like this, anyway"... she kept insisting, I just hanged up on her. 2 weeks later she kept calling, I didn't answer. Later on, I found out this waiting game was part of the process all along and that they were really mad that I didn't go because apparently, I was going to get hired for a position they were having a hard time to fill. F em.
I leave the first time after waiting only 30 minutes and not give them a second chance. I don’t let them waste too much of my time.
If someone pays me good money to sit in a room and do nothing, I'll do it. Once, at least. But not on my own dime and my own time. It's disgustingly disrespectful and speaks to a culture of abuse. It's a filter to see how much crap you're willing to take. I take zero. None of us should have to take this crap. This is how we end up with cultures like Boeing where people are afraid to speak up. This is how corruption is maintained.
@@tonybp they don't even hire their nationals, I find this story very hard to believe
Thanks for naming names of this crap employer. This helps others.
Avoid working for Asian companies. They're toxic AF, worse than American ones. And I'm Asian.
Unprofessional. "Nobody wants to work anymore" all the while laying off old guys.
Old guys are the last ones getting laid off. The young men who come in, work hard, and do the most get let go first.
@@Peaches-i2i No, they lay off the old guys because they're being paid the most, and hire the young ones willing to work hard for peanuts. The practice is called 'two-tier hiring.'
@@Peaches-i2i Nah bro. Women reach 45 and get pushed. Men reach their 50s and get pushed, while some child comes in who knows nothing, and doesn't work unless you stand over him, and does half the job on half the wage. Don't worry, that'll be you one day too. Trying to get a job with a healthy resume, a great worth ethic, worked hard all your life for absolutely nothing, with zero prospects because no one values your experience. Working as a Walmart greeter because you aged out twenty years before retirement due to age discrimination. The men you're thinking of are the managers. The few in control. Everyone else is a wage slave living at their mercy.
@@Peaches-i2i Americans work hard? LMAO nope!
@@Peaches-i2i Guys in their 50s really are getting laid off, (not without severence, btw) and essentially forced into early retirement because of age discrimination
This is the same type of employer shouting that employees are exploiting the companies time, meanwhile the interview process is set up to waste the applicants time? Wtf🤔
These recruiters are gatekeeping the jobs.
It's a monopoly. I was hired on one project as a placeholder until a Visa came through. I wasn't told by the recruiter. How did I know, my first day off the project another recruiter called me for a job he never got around to processing me for. Instead, he told me on the sly, "They hired you waiting for a Visa."
They want to give it to Arnold, the CEO’s son
I HATE WORK!!! WORK HATES ME!!!
@@yesmayhem and THAT is why our job market is the way it is, because corpos want to hire cheap foreign labor that they can abuse and discard at will without any of the risk that comes with hiring american citizens and permanent residents. Because they'd HAVE to offer us more substance/benefits and less BS.
@@carolinetheherbalist narcisists playing tyrans as hard as they can with daddies money..... changing the world ..... for worse. boomers had a great economy, houses that costed 1 -3 years work... big houses...... with grass.... sindicates. no stress. no u need to hit impossible target also notice as most of these complete garbage companies are sales companies that should be in jail for firing 90% of people they hire just to take the living soul from them...
German IT guy (with about 40 years of experience) here. If an interviewer doesn't show up 15 minutes LATEST after the scheduled time, I'll just leave.
If there is a secretary (or someone else to talk to), I will most probably tell them that I won't work at a company which is so badly organized that they cannot even keep the scheduled time for a simple job interview, and that they shouldn't bother to contact me again.
Additionally: I'm a professional, they want something from ME (my expertise and work), I don't want anything from THEM (they are not the only company in the world where I can make money). If they treat me like a beggar or unprofessionally in any other way, I'm out of there before they can even say "But...".
Older generations will tell you, "you're being lazy. it's just how things are."
Just because something is common, doesn't mean it's right.
That's not how things used to be. I'm a member of the older generation, and I can't remember ever waiting more than 15 or 20 minutes for an interview. Expecting people to wait around all day is absolutely insane.
Because they were at job interview last time 20 years ago or before companeis started to use internet 😂
@@lizsmith9949 Yup.. I dont know why but back before social media theese things were so much easier. People were more open to just talking and in fact, many jobs i got in my life were not gotten by chasing some paper trails. What i did was basically just show up at the company that I chose, went trough the front door and asked for a job. More times than not this lead to ladies who worked at the desk calling the boss who then came down and talked to me for few minutes and taking my info. This was basically a semi job inteview done already and even if they didnt need workers right now they often times ended up giving me a call even months after i signed up... Nowdays its online hiring and algorhitms and total inhuman bs... Its all about that damn CV and some damned machine algorhitm that scans for right words in your resume so there is a high chance that it will get archived before any human even sees it.. And even if they see it they still cant judge who you are based on a piece of paper so you could actually be a really good fit but they might not even see it because there is no face to face anymore..
The fun thing with the old generation: they are also trying to quit and go into retirement earlier...so they also don't want to work anymore...
While committing the fact that things were never like that before.
A decade ago a particular hotel brand starting with H had an HR manager who started all new hire orientation groups by saying that making people wait for hours was their interview strategy. Like you said, it is designed to weed out people who are not desperate. It sets the tone for the worker to accept an environment of disrespect.
It's also dedicated, hard-working employees being punished with the worst tasks, and being given the shitiest hours. It's being treated differently and less fairly because you don't have children. It's being blamed for things your coworkers screw up because they are friends with the managers. It's having to beg a coworker who usually gets weekends off because they have kids to cover a weekend for you for once because you have COVID-19, and the manager can't be fucked to cover a weekend for you because it's their birthday weekend, even though that manager gets practically every weekend off and you have worked almost every weekend for the past 8 months.
Asking for employees with a high level of professionalism while being completely unprofessional and wasting their day. Seems about right.
Florida, DEO up until late 2000s only required 2 job search filed each week. Gov Rick Scott R-FL made them up it to 4 mandated job searches. 😒 .... Florida DEO funds ran out after around 12 weeks.

Just want to let you know I recommended you to my 19 year old son who’s just joining the workforce. I’m 52 and have been a victim of a lot of corporate crap, and was on the hamster wheel. Got into microdosing after my burnout, and started to see what a senseless existence I was living.
You are an inspiration to me and I hope to both my sons. The other one is going for an electrical apprenticeship - he is 17.
Some of your ideas and comments on WFH and office space maybe opened up for housing makes so much sense and it mirrors many of my own thoughts.
BTW - I have listened to your story with your family. I can resonate, a lot of people can. I would love to see you interview Dr Gabor Mate. He’s relevant to what you have to say, and will resonate I think with your viewer.
Love your work, and I would be so proud if you were my son. I’ll adopt you from afar.

This is not a new tactic. 30 yrs ago I walked away from a handful of interviews due to the blatant disrespect of my time and inlet them know it.
Indeed. Also happened to me once in the 90s.
There's a difference between patience and stepping on people's dignity. Wasting people's time by making them wait a whole day is humiliation.
The smart leave.
The loyal stay.
The loyal arent usually smart.

I went through cycle after cycle of starting at new jobs with total commitment, only to be chumped by employers who overworked me throughout my entire career as a mental health counselor. So glad that's over now.
This is not something new. This happened to me 20 years ago. Showed up at 8:00 AM and lunch came around and I was told the boss went to lunch and to wait for him to come back. I thought, "Wow, he could have invited me out to lunch for a lunch interview" which was popular back then. I immediately left saying F*** this company and the next day this guy called and asked if I knew I was scheduled for an interview yesterday. I said I was there and did not appreciate being left to waste an entire day of my life. I asked him why he did not interview me at the time promised. He got pissed and started lecturing me and I told him he was an inefficient manager and hung up. Thank god I left.
Had a job interview like this once. more than 10 years ago now there was a giant hurricane that rolled through florida. My interview was set 3-4 hours before they estimated the first waves of that storm would get to my town. I waited an hour for the interview, asked twice if the interviewer was going to show up, before the person got to me. They told me because I didn't have enough patience that I wasn't a good fit for the company. I told them it was rude to waste my time and he said the same to me. Also the news was wrong and I had to brave the storm to get to my car and back home.
I went through the exact same
Thing. Went to a “job fair” for an entry level IT position with a company located in an office building in downtown Cleveland. The lobby was backed with mostly young men dressed to the nines….me 53 years old at the time and my friend 63, were the oldest in the lobby. After several hours we were the only two left sitting there. After several hours of waiting,We were told that they weren’t taking any more interviews and that we could go home. Can you say age discrimination?

The amount of times I've gone into dirty, worn out office interviews where I was misinformed about their interview process yet treated like I'm just not hungry enough
I think the entire job-hunting/hiring process is one big ego-trip for the employer/hiring managers etc.
I don't dress to impress anymore. If they hire me, cool. If not, oh well.
I remember job hunting after getting fed up with Uni, after more or less a year I was so fed up with interview and HR garbage, amongst my most hated were random most outrageous thought up scenarios that had F all to do with the job I was applying for like an interview demanding I try to sell him his own pen... while I was applying for an IT job that would never come in contact with a customer and rarely ever anyone from other departments. Or being borderline insulted by claims of needing to be more dynamic and flexible and other corporate speech for "We need a slave, not a worker." I got so fed up in fact that on one of the interviews after months of this BS and ghosting and false promises I was once again premised with nonsense... so? I snapped and confidently/formally tell the interviewer to spare me of that garbage sit against me look me in the f*cking eye like a man and cut all the random pointless sh*t and presents me with actually useful information so I can do the same. 24 hours later, I got the job and am now closing in on 10 years in the company.
On the other end of the spectrum, if you go to a "hiring event", and the recruiters take some basic information before hiring everyone in the room, that's also a bad sign and you should not show up. Companies do this when they have literally no standards or are desperate for disposable employees, or both.
Yup! All the work I'm seeing right now is 20% lower wages too, while all these companies are posting record profits AND they want us to drive an hour to be IN office and do video meetings with the offshore team that they've pushed all the work to for cost...
Well, the numbers are records, but the value is lower ...
It's still ridiculous, check C-level pay. Where I am, they haven't even paid industry standard wages for years, and now they're looking for us to work 60+ hours a week - on salary. Found out last Friday that I'm replicating other people's work, and I'm told to do my version over... And over ... And over.
also if you just sit in a waiting room for almost 12 hours, it only shows you have NOTHING else to do and thats what they really want. No family, no other commitments, they want the person who can live in that damn office and work 18 hour days if they say so
And get paid for 8 hours a day.
What happened to the math in that first one? 6 ppl interviewed. 3 ppl left. They hired the "remaining 2". Did one person just go missing?
"By 3:00pm, 3 had left. By 6:00pm he met only 2"
That one person left somewhere between 3 and 6pm
HR departments are a big reason why no-one wants to work in corporations any more.
it's gotten even tackier with the use of AI in the process. Even if they get something wrong, there is no email, no phone number to text or call, especially when a lot of the communications are with online robots. In some companies, the entire HR is AI now. HR was bad enough. Now that it's AI and all online based, it's even worse.
So, you have never worked in a Human Resources department, and so you are assuming everything that you hear about HR from what sources? The internet?
Unfortunately, you come across as having an attitude issue that will cause you to be unable to keep a job. You might want to adjust your attitude if you plan on being successful at any job.
@@fishercourt You ever dealt with HR bullshit when working at a corporation? I have. And that was even before it became an AI botfest. So have millions of others. Why do you think the OP isn't speaking from experience?
And what the OP says is true. Modern day "application" for a job at your average large company is all done online. They've outsourced their application process to AI, where there is no human interaction whatsoever. The last time I applied for a job at two of the biggest corporations in the country, there was no human involved in the process, all communication was with AI, recorded voice robot calls and text bots. And those communications even disagreed with each other. At the biggest company, the only humans involved in the process were the security guy at the door of the small warehouse like office where I was to be drug tested, the drug test woman, and the other guy who photographed my ID (they needed a human to look at the person and the ID, I guess, for legal purposes). All other decisions were made by computer program, with no contact back allowed in the case they were wrong. At another massive corporation, I had to deal with two separate company websites that directly disagreed with each other. One said there was a job open in a local store. The other website said no, that job doesn't exist. You want to work at a place like that? At a company that can't even figure out if they have a job open at a store or not? And the websites, of course, are designed and run by HR.
Another reason "no one wants to work anymore" is because 30% of the jobs listed in the US are 'ghost jobs'. They're not real jobs. They're fake. Used to give the impression to stockholders that the company is growing, or to give the impression to workers that they are easily replaced. Ghost jobs are a form of lying to the potential workers. Another stroke of corporate, HR genius.
@@fishercourt HR comes up with the BS described in the vid. And HR now uses AI and text bots and online 'application' processes that conflict with each other, where there often isn't a human to call or email if they get something wrong -- which often occurs. Who wants to work for a company that operates like that? And how do you know the OP hasn't had to deal with HR on a corporate level before?
I've seen this trend of disrespecting applicants before the pandemic, but it seems like the pandemic really supercharged this kind of behavior. If you're not desperate....you aren't wanted. Recruiters love to say I have incredible skills, then call me horrifying things when I won't take their shitty job with a 40% pay cut...then call with another job like I won't remember the interaction.
When I was laid off during the Great Recession of 2008 I went through so many humiliating and demeaning things by potential employers that it completely destroyed any bit of loyalty I would ever show a company. I've had employers try and pull nonsense like that when I try to find jobs today and I just end the interview the second that happens and move on.
@hiflyer000 yeah, that was a bad time. I just got my masters and one interview was so bad I went looking to see if I was on candid camera. The interviewer asked what I was doing and I flat out told them because the job was a joke.
Also employers: We don’t want candidates who seem too desperate.
But then they will not take somebody lack some skills because he would need too much training
It really comes down to that people are tired of the BS. If there is no reward, people don't want to do the work, especially even when basic survival becomes questionable, when taxes and inflation are eating away at your wages. Then you don't even have that benefit, so why bother? Things have gotten so bad, you are practically better off buying Lottery tickets than you are applying for a job, or even taking classes to make yourself more marketable.
What a lot of us have to realize is, the very people running these orgs and hiring people are the worst among us. Fake, glib, "rock stars" who're just insecure and scared the person they hire will surpass them. They don't want to hire someone who'll threaten their own success. Feels like another bubble in a long line of them. I'd say, become self employed or work a lower paying job with less responsibility until these companies get more desperate.
They will from poor countries we abuse
This is not a test of patience, it's cruelty. CEO wants punctual people and they can't even be punctual themselves. No we can't tolerate this kind of BS anymore.
Exactly, it’s piss poor leadership.
I have zero patience, and that’s my secret to getting things done! For me, there’s no waiting until tomorrow. I’m all about seizing the moment and maximizing productivity. Employers are usually impressed by my work ethic and how much I can accomplish in a short time.
But here’s the thing: don’t expect me to sit around doing nothing. That’s a surefire way to frustrate me. I’ve quit jobs that didn’t keep me busy because they wasted my time. It’s a pattern I see often. Companies expect punctuality but don’t care if I’m left with nothing to do, leading to boredom and dissatisfaction.
The irony is they do care when I leave because I’m not challenged enough. If you want to test my patience, you’ll quickly find out I don’t have any for idle time. I thrive on being busy and productive, and if my current job doesn’t provide that, I’ll find one that does-even if it’s with your competition.
All I get are "Sorryy, Sorry, we are moving ahead with a different candidate. So Sooooorrryyyy"
“I hope he robs your company blind!”
Apply as a gay black woman, you will get the interview
15 degrees from Harvard and Stanford, a lifetime of study and loans and the CEO thought it’s all legit…
He likes being lied to.
Yeah, or this is a Peter pan who keeps doing studies on his fathers money, because he can't handle growing up... He's not going to work very good...

This has to be satire; there are significant overlaps in attendance. (“Built different” is certainly one way to describe someone who simultaneously attended Oxford, Yale Law School, and the University of Pennsylvania.)
@@amicaaranearum There are ways to have those overlaps that can be somewhat valid with online courses, but... that list does feel a bit inflated, even if it is somehow valid -- I would be skeptical regardless, with line after line of Ivy Leagues. The thing I would be curious about would be how long that person lasted in whatever position they got accepted in
I understand managers are busy and shit happens, but waiting 12 HOURS for them to show up because they want to play mind games is deplorable. I might give them 30 minutes leeway at most, by that time I would give them a piece of my mind and flip the bird before storming out.
I hope the two that stayed got dog biscuits for being such good pets.
Being able to wait is a good character trait, but forcibly creating a situation just to test it is dishonest and you can't expect to have a good relationship with your employees when literally the first interaction they have with you is you deceiving them.
My wait limit is 15 minutes. NOPE!
In the US Army if you are in formation or arrive as ordered, you can leave after 15min unless otherwise told.
Mine is zero.
One of my biggest pet peeves in job searching is employers being late or no showing me. I had a recruiter reach out to me after their client no showed me and had the nerve to express shock that the interview didn't happen. I resorted to calling them out on their incompetence and hung up on them.
Some people are un organized jerks. I worked for a "veteran" who had huge $$$ federal security contracts. I honestly felt like a 14yr teen age girl was the CEO, mgr! 😡 Bizarre texts, rants, high turn over, wierd emails, changes to SOPs, mobile apps. The guy even had his Florida D security licensed denied. 📂 Not suspended or review. Not allowed! Not licensed to do unarmed security 🚔. 0.
I’m so glad we collectively decided to call this out.
A new trend needs to rise because of this: Candidates that trash the place before leaving. I am all for that. WIll enjoy the videos and posts and replies from companies who in turn gets absolutely wrecked once it's revealed what happened.
When they start in with the words that make no sense strung together (corporate word salad) that's when you have to keep scrolling.
Bold new approach, synergy! Address client concerns. I had 1 recent armed security post: DHS 🏢 . Client-FEMA mgrs got mad over security officers using initials on sign in rosters, time sheets 📋 . Half the lights were out at night 🌃 , parking areas-ext of site but DO NOT use any initials!
I had an interview where they had scheduled 30+ people at the same time, got upset when people weren’t dancing around when the CEO came busted in playing music, and then we had to wait while each interview was conducted 1 by 1. I walked out.
I have a schedule to keep. I'd have walked out after the first hour. They may very well be filtering out the people they actually want while keeping those who don't have much motivation at all.
That is such a dumb move.
They would get a whopping twenty minutes from me.
Don't work for people who expect you to accept abuse is part of the job
Employers complain that they cant find any one who wants to work, while at the same time rejecting anyone who has self respect.
I met with a recruiter who was five minutes late to an "interview". My hand was literally reaching towards the leave button when he joined and thankfully he had enough sense to see my expression and cut the meeting short five minutes later. He sent me the typical email saying I didn't get the job and I sent him a reply thanking him for taking the time type up a response. 😒
Uh what? Five minutes is reasonable. You're not the only person on this planet.
If that was the interview, imagine the head games during the actual job
Oh man I saw a job posting “if you want to work the hardest you ever have, while making the least amount of money.. this is the job for you”
I wish I was joking

My cousin will sabotage the company after 3 strikes........ He knows what he is doing and has put a few under for good. nothing illegal he just exploits them at their own game and has won numerous cases in court that end up dragging in other employees that also end up suing. After his 5th wrongful termination win ( or settlement) in an at-will state he is doing something right. He has turned his career into going after bad bosses and also he has a lawyer that loves it too. He can do the job without the BS these companies insist on dragging him into an he gets last laugh.
the last job I interviewed for before a landed a county job, I was interviewed by a *Christian" company who wanted me to come in half day for an unpaid working interview. I told him that's illegal his response was it's totally voluntary. Dress it up how you want it's still illegal to not pay someone for work done at your company. I reported the company to my state's labor board.scary thing is they were harassing me on indeed after that to where i had to shut down my account. Some "christian" company they are.
That ain't test of patience. That was how cheap your time is...
If you can’t or won’t respect my time, I won’t respect yours.
I was applying once to work as a typist for a certain medical-aid company. Their employees have world-record typing speeds and act like that's normal, vastly underestimate their own typing requirements (they wanted 50 words per minute... you would need over 200 to meet the job's requirements for having to translate information into TWO different languages while sorting it into 1 of 7 categories...). I was willing to give it a shot until one of the reviewers had the good sense to mention to the students that it's a job where you can't make mistakes or it could: cost someone their life, cost someone their job and cost someone a ton of money... over typos or miscategorizations (ex, you might have to shorthand and accidentally type down "cancer" but meant to say, "patient referenced past medical treatments for cancer"(I don't remember what the specific example was but it was something like that). And to top it all off, for some reason, they think that typing, language and multitasking skills are... technology skills...
I haven't watched this video yet, but I want to go ahead and say this before I forget.
At the start of the year, I got another job working for my partner's business doing admin duties. It's rough, but I don't mind it super much because it's the family business. I'm currently still working at my other job doing maintenance at a hotel, but I recently reduced my hours at the hotel from 8 hours to 6 hours.
I've been watching your videos casually over the last year and a half or so, and I feel like you played a big role in that. I was really starting to lose my mind, and knew that something had to be done because I couldn't socialize anymore. So I just wanted to thank you for that.
Specifically, I got to the point to where I didn't want to waste my life anymore. I didn't want to end up like the boomers did, especially if we don't get paid a living wage anyway, so what's the point? lol 🤣
I've been looking for a new career for a couple months now. Couple hundred applications submitted currently. Have done maybe 30 - 40 interviews. Maybe 5 offers I've turned down. There are so many crap companies actively taking advantage of people at a time when everything costs so much. It's sad. Wonder what the country is gonna look like in 5 or 10 years for lower-income families.
These stories remind me of the interviews I had at Telus many years ago. They started with an actual full written exam. While the job was for a call center gig, strangely the exam had a GIGANTIC amount of math and engineering stuff on it. Super interesting stuff too. Math questions in alternate base counting systems, problems that substituted different shapes for the digits in random arbitrary base counting systems, really quirky and super interesting stuff. They called me back and I asked them "So, how'd I do?". Clearly their entire second interview was to apply pressure and see how you deal with frustration because the first words out of her mouth were a sneer and "You passed... Just barely". It's like, "So you want me to believe you're in the habit of callbacks for the 'just barely' folks and waste everyone's time?". The entire interview itself was nothing but a half hour of "You're having a s**t day, I'm pushing your buttons too, you mad?". I can understand that though, it was a call center job after all. Not getting that job was the best thing that ever happened to me though. I was looking for work, but there's just not a lot of tech stuff in Alberta, but a year later, I was writing code for a living and it only went up from there.
How the hell does "no really it happens, and sometimes it's worse!" get used as an argument for why abusive hiring rituals are admirable?
I’m sitting in the parking lot of my job right now watching this….I’m already an hour late and I’ll go in when I’m damn well ready
That's not a normal sentence to read, what did they do?
Failure by an interviewing employer to meet interviewees on time is a sign of contempt. It's a flaming red flag.
Exactly. I’ve had horrible HM and HR corporate stooges who kept me waiting 30 minutes despite no one else being there, and I just leave. I don’t give them a second chance to waste any more of my time. Some of them have called me and demanded I come in again, I tell them to kick rocks.
if they're willing to waste your time on day one?
run!
Spot on, in all accounts!
Although you did forget to mention ALL the junk job ads out there. So much time wasted (of my own), applying for jobs that don’t even exist.. while they make money on selling the information I provided… that is truly a crime against humanity
I have come to learn that while I was an "essential worker" 4 years ago, I am now fully expendable.
Employers be testing candidates like women test men. I’m sure it will work out just as well.
Look i have 1234 people responding to my job listing !! (We are not hiring, just checking)
That’s INSANE. It would be very telling waiting 15 minutes.
15 min and I'm asking questions to reception, 30 min and I'm done. Like I give grace for if something ran long or there was maybe an emergency to deal with but there's no reason to wait longer than a half hour
Exactly, 30 minutes would be my max. Past that, the employer is showing disrespect for your time. Not worth it.
I recently had a job hunt because my current job is one of those insanely disrespectful ones that used to be good but slowly deteriorated over the last 4 or so years to "cut costs" and so many of the job postings are just filled with nonsense you have to dig through to find what the actual job entails and so many are entry level but require 5+ years of experience it's insane.
I worked for a startup in the past - and was told by the COO that I would never get a raise or promotion by just doing the job normally and using the skills I know... it would only come from pushing myself with extra learning and pushing extra hours to make me stand out. Was constantly stressed out.... hated that role... in a much healthier place now
1. Always have an LLC woth a ETN
2. Go to said interview
3. Wait all hours and record
4. Invoice them 200/hr
5. Wait for response
6. Get ready to sue.
Thatll teach these idiots to waste my time
Bet they dodnt expect that
Beat me to it.
This is the way. I inform them they have an hour. After that I'll invoice. They're on the clock. My times valuable too. Does it cost me the job. Yup. Do I care? Nope.
@jasonkutlik2414 after getting fired from my last job, they basically filled the last requirement for my TDIU, so now I collect a pension. I'm no longer desperate for a job. They're at MY mercy now.
That's dumb. They don't have an honor an invoice they didn't ask for.

If the employer was treated that way they would be pissed

In 2024 those same 5 quarters has a melt value of $28.
No one wants to work anymore because employers are only offering peanuts.

"told me privately" - no one told him anything.
Yeah. The whole story is fake.

Now I feel fortunate that I haven’t late bad interviews while job searching.
This just in: people are getting sick of being used and abused by the people they work for, and are choosing to either not work or just work for themselves. It's not worth it to be treated like a farm animal and have everything extracted from you for little reward.
This is me..... I work at a grocery store and remind you...they have 2 janitors in the morning and one works it's butt off....me . The other worker .. not so much.. doesn't help .. doesn't clean... doesn't push shopping carts... its getting under my skin... somedays I can't take it anymore
I remember this used to be talked about years ago. Like this means of interviewing and it was never met with critism saying how people have wasted the others time. It only was used to talk on perseverance.
Funny how the perspective has changed.
Dude there needs to be some forced change on companies real soon
Great video and unfortunately, super relevant in the U.S. right now. I abhor the employers who Require advanced degrees, several years on the job experience, but want to pay $15 an hour and/or want someone young and energetic, but fail to realize that their Requirements of education and work experience can only be done by someone older, unless it's a child genius, but obviously a genius isn't going to wake up in the morning for the $15 hourly salary they are offering. Smh

Yep. I would rather be on benefits than send my CV's which data brokers recieve and then call me from unknown numbers, sit through some bullshit interview only to be offered the minimum pay and when asked why am I getting the min since I have experience etc. They say it's a trial period that everyone has to go through....
Last time my trial period lasted a YEAR or UNTIL I ASKED WHERE IS MY RAISE.
If they don't treat you humanly then they don't deserve you.
That full time availability with part time hours is what's killing me, that and the chaos scheduling that managers LOVE to use and then put the schedule out the night before. Or the paychecks in arrears pay scheduling.
Good for the people that left.
That is perfect example of the work world. Jump through this hoop, this hoop and this hoop and another hoop and oh this hoop.
I’m 53 and my practical advice to Gen z is find a skill that you can provide to others and work for you.

Job interviews go both ways. If the potential employer doesn't realize a job interview is a negotiation, they aren't worth working for. When I get asked the enevitable do you have any questions for us, I always ask why is your orginization good enough for my time and talents. If they can't even come up with how their compensation is competitive, I will turn that job down on the spot.
I'm Australian. I dropped out of school at 16, worked for a supermarket for a year, and then tried to get a job for years after that. Lack of experience means no-one wanted to hire me. Finally land a job in hospitality many years later. Work there for 4 years. End up being reduced to a single 5 hour shift a fortnight, but having to constantly work back due to working both as a Kitchen Hand and Dishwasher. Finally quit. Try to find work in other industries, end up in hospitality again. Have the same problem of working back. Quit after a few months. Still can't find work in other industries because of a lack of relevant experience, even if the "relevant experience" is stuff that could very easily be taught on the job.
Employers want employees who are management-level. They don't want to train anyone. They don't want to deal with inexperienced workers taking time to reach their standards. People want to work, but when the bar is set impossibly high that failure is the only realistic outcome for most people, what's the point?
The correct play would have been to hire the first person that left
The juice isn’t worth the squeeze.

@@jacobmansfield-go9fz that’s how they get you.
I endured a different version of this filter. The only time for an interview was Tuesday at 2:00 PM. That was impossible since I already had a job that required me on Tuesday afternoons. When I asked about another day or time, they promptly told me next Tuesday at 2:00 PM and again the following Tuesday at 2:00 PM... and so on, like the old Breck shampoo commercial. A year later, I learned that the billet was still unfilled.
Their competitors offered other options ... and I found a much better position with useful benefits.
