- r/AskReddit Job Applicants Who've Left In The Middle Of The Interview, Why Did You Do It? We're really passionate about our work... As in "we expect you to stay overtime and we wont pay you for it". lol
What's your worst job interview guys? Tell me in the comments
The supervisor who said sadly "no this isn't a good company to work for" is a true hero.
i hope that lady found a good company to work for with competitive wages, solid benefits, and a supportive coworkers...
I think that was fake
I recall a job interviewer who told me my job would be working with a fellow who was so hard to get along with most people quit inside a week.
I said really? He called that afternoon to tell me I got the job and I laughed then said nope.
@@zebradun7407 Savage
I like people who do that, if it’s hell then s good person should just outright say “listen buddy, it’s ain’t good here, think carefully on if you want this job.”
I was interviewing for a job and basically they told me they wanted me to do more work for less money than I was getting at my current job. I laughed at the interviewer and left.
Same shit happened to me 😂😂😂
John Doe this was me for going to greyhound
John Doe or you going to hack roblo x
James White well that’s fucking rude, if ur named John Doe that doesn’t mean ur gonna hack roblox ignorant shit
James White I have no idea what that means so... I am guessing it is supposed to be an insult. So. Yeah. You got me good. I hope the sarcasm is coming through.
That guy wasn’t being socially inept. The interviewers should have apologized and introduced the owner to the interviewee before just ignoring him for 10-15 minutes. That was just poor manners
Agreed
Or at least give a "please wait a moment, I am sorry " signal
Leenie Nadeau Yeah, I was a little annoyed for the guy erroneously blaming himself when it clearly wasn’t his fault.
Its all a ploy. The guy KNOWS the other people are the ones committing the fo pa. He just blames himself to appear better.
The interviewers were socially inept and had bad manners too.
"Corporate Culture" and "Passion" have become meaningless buzzwords and code for "We want you to do free work"
@Monster Mash But we have a foose ball table and free snack sandwich
@A. Banana great, so they're in your pockets as well.
Bromide peddlers are low IQ trash who deserved to go out the way of the dodo with evolution.
They have always been meaningless. Companies try to brainwash you in order to forget you're being taken advantage of. I would personally ban such lingo and force them to be frank. Fuck them.
Which sucks because as an entrepreneur I do want my employees to be passionate about their work and not think that I’m trying to squeeze work out of them.
I didn't walk away from this interview but my first job when I was 16 I applied for Burger King, the manager ask if I like Metallica. That was the only question after i said yes I was hired.
Say yes then start singing welcome to the jungle. Act bewildered and ask whats the difference when he stops you.
_Is that a Jojo ref-_
Whom the bell tolls is a good song
Means they're looking for someone who wont mind the music
That username tho 😂
One time the boss didn’t show for my interview so I got up and left. He texted me 45 minutes after our scheduled time to ask where I was, I replied “let me ask you something, if I was 45 minutes late to the interview would you have hired me?” I then proceeded to delete the conversation and block his number lol respect is a two way street buddy
Not to too many employers.
Matthew Spinozza I think you should have at least waited for a response. If the guy was apologetic and respectful about it, then it probably was out of his control. Sometimes people in higher positions have a lot to keep track of. If he gave a disrespectful response, then yeah, block the dude.
@@Headlock123456789 agreed
@@Headlock123456789 guy clearly knew how to text, sending "I'm running a bit late" takes what, 20 seconds?
@@Headlock123456789 If the guy wouldn't hire someone if they were late, that's the point. An apology doesn't change that.
"Okay so you'll be on a team and will be competing with other teams..."
"I'm gonna stop you right there. I'm here for a job. If I wanted to be on a team and compete with other teams I'd play a sport."
TheAsylumchild sick burn, gonna remember that one for future interviews
I have a hard time applying to jobs that refer to your potential coworkers as team mates for this exact reason. I don't want to be a team member I want to be an employee with coworkers.
This is why you're going to earn minimum wage your entire "career" and still have a mortgage in your 60's. Employers can refer to their employees however they'd like. The company is no doubt better off avoiding entitled people who get hung up on semantics.
@My Secret Account The problem comes in the form of "a team competing with other teams". Making employees work in such a way is a way to control, optimise their output with little to no benefits for the individual employee (but plenty for the company).
Factory workers used to work under similar concepts; it makes your "teammates" your greatest problem, because everyone will get angry with a person for staying hime sick, no matter how necessary it is, if it means their cut of benefits depend on it.
@@shadow101class My fellow security officers and I are considered team mates since we look out for one another. Don't just assume that because you are referred to as a 'team mate' that you'll be competing with others.
Group interviews are a red flag. Avoid them.
If you are that disposable you dont wanna work for them.
I know, right? I was once called to a group interview, but despite the red flag I decided to just go with it, maybe get some interview practice. I ended up being the only one to show up (red flag 2), and because I'd thought it would be a "HR telling us about how great the company is" thing, I hadn't properly prepared my 1 on 1 questions. It was cringe. Then I did the practical assignment at home and that was the 3rd and final red flag, because I quit.
Until this video i didn't even know group interviews were a thing. Group orientation for successful interviewees, sure, but not group interviews.
Seems strange to me. Like a company that can't be fucked finding a decent candidate themselves so they throw them all into a room to save time and hope one stands out. Basically guarsnteeing that the individual selected is outgoing and extroverted, which might be a plus, but not analysing the individual traits of people to see who would be the best fit for the company. Some introverts who have little presence in grousnare insanely capable in their line of work.
I know a guy that's incredibly quiet and reactive in groups, but is an insanely good team leader who can hype his team and keep em on track whilst not being a prick about it. Genuinely a great dude but he would almost definitely be overlooked in these kinds of situations.
Words of wisdom my mama taught me : just because you're useful, doesn't mean you're important.
@@Carnage7209 Experience has taught me to never be 'irreplaceable', either. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted. And just because your bosses think you're irreplaceable doesn't mean they won't one day try. Never assume common sense enters into a decision about who truly is 'irreplaceable' or not, either. All it takes is some idiot to THINK they can find someone to replace you, and it's a done deal - ESPECIALLY if your replacement costs the company less than YOU do. Whether or not your replacement can actually do the job or not is irrelevant in the eyes of those who make those decisions.
Dude I had a group interview, I've got the job tho😂
So many employers seem to think it's still 2005 when they're doing hiring; and they're baffled when candidates laugh and walk out on them when they try to pull the recession-era games on them.
Exactly what sort of nonsense were they pulling?
@@KnakuanaRka the "were gunna give you a job and youll kiss our feet and be grateful with whatever we pay you" crap
@@birdiec That certainly may have been their attitudes, but it doesn't answer, "what sort of nonsense were they pulling?" I think the answer will have more to do with specific instances of unethical and questionable, if not illegal, hiring practices.
You know...a significant portion of "research" on recruiting techniques was probably actually pulled from recession period, and obviously those tactics worked then. These people probably think they're being smart, but they just getting the people that are most naive or desperate. Neither of which are great reasons to have when going in to job opportunities. Or at least, not great reasons to STAY in a job. Theres a reason Occupational Psychology is a legit field of study, and they've established a while ago that the best workplaces have happy employees. If all of your employees only work for you because they have no other choice, obviously YOU are failing as an employer.
@ Even though that's happening in 2020 right now? Lmaoo
Had an interview for a job. The interviewer told me "We already have the people we want to fill the position, we are just interviewing to train our staff." I'll send you a bill, I said. "For what?", he says, "My time as a training coach."
ericb31 i would have walked out flipping them off
I would have told them to kiss my fucking ass
ericb31 “it’s good experience being rejected also, get used to it!!” as I walk out
Hope you didnt have to pay, they should be giving YOU money.
@@askinredroads5132 that is literally what they said
Pyramid scheme
Word of advice: if they constantly talk about "improving your life" without actually saying what the job is, leave
Also if they want to charge you for a skill set or pay you for bringing other people in/waive your fees for bringing people in.
Unless your desperate, why wouldn't you know? No idiot just jumps into a job blindly.
@@Dragonk116 no one knows everything and those people get VERY good at disguising their bull shit. Especially to young kids who are young dumb and desperate
Anyone can be deceived. Only a true idiot keeps falling for the same trick. Im sure you have dumb moments yourself
I hear what you are saying, but some companies don’t talk about what you will be doing because they are looking for someone who is a good fit for them over the long haul. I turned down a job with a company several years ago because they evaded my questions in the job interview about what I would be doing. The job was in their Singapore branch, and I didn’t want to move to Singapore unless I had a good idea whether the job was something I wanted to do. Also, not knowing what I would be doing put me in the position of not knowing whether the salary was seriously below the going rate for whatever work it was.
That guy sounds like he was offered an Amway-tier subcontractor job, euphemistically spun by Amway as an “Independent Business Owner” position.
The interviewer basically told me if I didn't want to work for his business I was an idiot. Which made me not want to work for his business.
You are an idiot
M'asuda the Liar it was a joke 😭
The nobody shit isn't fucking funny r/woooosh
@Some characters aren't allowed Clearly you didn't get the joke... Psh.. idiot
@Nobody comments are not funny you troglodyte fr
A long time ago, when I was about 20, I interviewed for a job at a plant. The interview started off okay but the guy got on the subject of don'ts with the job, like don't be late to work, etc. The more don'ts he listed, the higher and louder he got until he was standing just shouting at me about being back on station before lunch was over. I looked at him and started laughing. "What's so funny?" he asked. I said that you're screaming at me and I haven't even said that I would take the job. I noped on out of there.
You really dodged a bullet there
BrokenTree Usauka What kind of fucking boss yells at someone that isn’t even an employee yet? You dodged a bullet big guy good job
@@assassin8433 One thing I've learned in nearly forty years in the work force is that most low level bosses are absolute fucktarded morons.
@@slappy8941 i guess even the "boss" has a skillset you have to learn at some point lol
He shows a fundamental lack of respect, and he wants you only to nod your head?
Props to everyone who has the *SELF-RESPECT* to walk away from such blatant disrespect.
(Just make sure you have money saved up.)
Some interviewers use that tactic, they casually drop the "we work extra for no pay because we love this work", to make you leave. It's usually a very good position and they have someone laid up for the job, nephew, sister, etc, but they have to hold interviews. They make everyone leave and only "the chosen one" passes. Fucking nepotism.
BINGO!
That makes no sense. Why would they go through all that to make you leave if they have someone already laid out for the job. It is massive waste of time for the Interview and the person being interviewed. It literally makes no sense. Just hire the so called "chosen one" and leave everyone else a lone and not waste time.
@@tomas7046 they need to put up a front of effort
@@tomas7046 Because they're legally required to post that a job is available, especially internally, even if they already have someone lined up.
My Dad once told about about a time where the higher-ups at his job already knew exactly who they wanted for a specific promotion but were required to open it for anyone in the company to apply for. The higher-ups did so, but tailored the requirements for the position (experience, education, etc.) in such a way that their pre-selected candidate was the only one who could meet them all.
Guy told me post interview to call him if I had any questions. I had questions, so I called him. He asked me why I was calling him.
A lot of employers simply ghost you. Either it is because they feel they don’t owe you anything or they will call you if the person they picked doesn’t work out or jumps ship.
That's spectacularly hypocritical of the interviewer.
They don’t actually mean for you to call. It’s just something people say
"she replied no and hung her head"
*This one hurt my sympathetic sadness feelings*
Ye she hung herself during the middle of an interview
@TazIsDark
Is this a joke or are you just that dense?
@@mikejaquez4120 I'm gonna go with dense.
Holy shit i didn't listen to the last part
Hung her head means to put it down in a low sad manner... not hanging yourself -_-
I went into an interview once, they guy gave me the run down of the job and wanted me due to my high level of skill. Then offered me a couple dollars above minimal wage. I told him I would only work for double that or if benefits started immediately I would work for half again as much.
He asked me why I thought I should be paid so much and I told him all the training, years on the job I had and all the tickets and certifications that came with me.
He said that sounded great and offered me an extra 2 dollars an hour. I quoted him a number that was two and a half times the initial offer plus better benifits, he tried to move the interview along to another topic saying we could circle back to pay later after I saw how fun and nice the facilities were to work in.
I told him thank you for the offer but I wasn't interest in working for so little when you need me to do so much.
I hate how companies are refusing to pay for skilled and trained employees what they are worth.
@Celtic Phoenix PPL LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN SAYING SINCE THE 70S
@Celtic Phoenix no it didn't ,the entire economy did not collapse it didnt in 1929 it didn't through the depression, yea stock holders lost money but they all recovered, and it will happen again and again and it will recover again and again
@Celtic Phoenix idk maybe after the boomers die it will get better
By accepting a position like that, you wouldn't have just screwed yourself over, but also other people with your skillset.
I don't use the word hero lightly, but you might just be the greatest hero in American history.
Too many immigrants reduces the *Capital-To-Labor Ratio* within whole countries, that that's what leads to long term wages decreasing.
"We are very passionate about our work so overtime is unpaid"
*Laughs in FLSA*

This is a human comment.

I attended an interview for a company (EA Games) that the interviewer started asking me a ton of developer level questions (not my skillset at all) and when I repeatedly told him that I didn't have those skills he got angry and asked why I was wasting his time. I got angry in response and said "You looked at my CV, why the hell did you call me in if you KNEW I didn't have ANY of the skills you wanted ??" and walked out.
Looks like you haven't spent enough time on the Internet or playing an EA game to know that they are objectively the worst game company of all time. Blame the government subsidies I guess.
That's funny
EA spends too much money on lobbying to care for their employees. Thank fuck, though, cuz it reared its ugly head before you signed anything.
Just got one like yours . only i a little nice . Getcme the contract and the salary . After reading through i straight reject . Gosh public holiday less . OT not pay. and everyday work ot extra one hour due to lunch time.
@@MetalCha0X not objectively, they ARE the worst gaming company in existence. Followed close by Ubisoft, Activision and Tencent.
They asked me why I thought I deserved $16/hr with no business degree. I asked them why they thought I needed one to answer phones and set up appointments. They also wanted me to let them reroute calls to my cell phone and still make appointments while the office was closed, but wouldn't pay for me to be on-call, because I wouldn't be physically in the office. Told them to take their bullshit and shove it.

I once applied for a job as an Administrator with the Bank of Scotland. Turned up on time in a suit. There were two interviewers. They asked me if I was ok on the phone. I said no problem. Then they asked if I could answer the phone every 20 seconds, over 300 times a day. I asked, are you sure this is the Administration job. They explained that I would be a phone tree. People would say departments A, B or C and I'd press button A, B or C, all day. That was the whole job. I still said I would do it. Later on they said I didn't get the job because I lacked ambition. I was so relieved.
"lacked ambition" :D phone tree with ambitions :D
"lacked ambition" lol "one day I aspire to work up to A, B, C, AND D! Hell, maybe even a vowel some day!"

Funny how a some companies are all about money, then when you do the same in turn, it's a "conflict of interest".
Such companies are called bad companies.
Always ask about money, I'm an interviewer for a very big company and I love talking pay. If I can't pay enough I want to know!
@@bonbon5717 before going into the interview I would know what the market pays in my area for the job I want. If they offer the average be prepared to negotiate up. Highlight your strengths and downplay your weaknesses. If they start bellow market be prepared to walk away. They'll usually be shocked by your boldness and automaticaly adjust.

Dude just 2 days ago I got an interview. I'm an extremely qualified industrial worker. I worked my way from the bottom long ago, I operate cranes and forklifts, weld and other skilled trades. This broad wanted me to work for 13 dollars an hour moving concrete in buckets up and down stairs. I understand that for teenagers and young 20 year olds that might be acceptable, but with my skills I'm not going to revert to grunt work again. I paid my dues. I told her I need 20 just to scrape by.
Yeah. Fuck all that mess.
@Joe K I once told an interviewer who low balled me that I could make more picking up soda cans.
That sounds like something the Mexican who has been there for 3 days would be interested in..... i spent years on forklifts and a couple years loading trucks with gantry cranes too.
Typical cheapskate employer...
Might help if you didn't call superiors broads
I am an honest guy. Grandpa always said 'honesty is the best policy.'
So, I sit in an interview and I get the old question 'where do you see yourself in 5 years.'
I say 'I see myself sitting in a different office with some other loser asking me 'where do you see yourself in 5 years'.'
I don't know why I never get any jobs.
"Let's face it, the job you're offering me probably isn't that great. So, if I decide to accept it, there's a good chance that I won't be willing to put up with it for 5 or more years. Let's just lay all our cards on the table and not bullshit each other, huh? Your company probably either sucks to work for already, or it will in about a year or so when upper management decides they need even bigger bonuses, and they fuck everything up. I'm only here for the health insurance and the livable wage, and you don't care where I'm at in 5 years unless it makes you money, anyways."
When they ask "If you could describe yourself with one word, what would it be?" Just say "HIRED!" yeah that never works for me either
I don't see why that's a bad answer lol
My favorite is when fast food businesses ask this question .
I HATE THAT crap. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Still eating, working, shitting, sleeping, maybe a different car.... I mean WTF has that got to do with CAN YOU DO THIS JOB..... am I here for an interview or random questions about life plans that may OR MAY NOT happen, depending on if I meet a girl, get hit by a bus, stuck by lightning, find a gold seam on my place (is actually possible considering where I live).... who REALLY KNOWS what they'll be doing in 5 years time. I gave up the thought of total control after I realized how quickly I quit when the BS starts at a workplace. And recessions can come, bushfires turn peoples life upside down..... a few thousand people realized that this year.
I had an interview. The lady asked me: to apply with as foreigner / foreign passport (if I wanted to expedite my interview process). Mind you I am US citizen. I asked her why? She said we prefer our employees to be tax deductible. It was a big American corporation on US soil and she is an American. Than she wanted me to remove my 2 Ivy league schools. So she wanted tax free, foreign born, highly intelligent cheap labor. I took my education, my knowledge and left for good.
you wouldn't believe how common that kind of shit is. Especially in tech and computer engineering. You'll have a company making up the worst kind of job listing. Essentially posting a job for starting-low experience worker then asking to have 3-5 years of experience, which pretty much makes you a true professional at this point, for a lower than average pay, excruciating hours since they usually wants you to fulfill the job of 2 people by yourself, overall making it as undesirable as possible so the company can claim to the government that they can't find employee so they are allow to pick in the pool of H1B visa workers to fulfill everything people like you could do but for half the pay and no benefits.
@@madgunner01 OMG! I thought I was the only one. Please tell more, please!

When I was fresh out of college, I applied for a job as an actuary. The first interview went really well. During the second interview though, I found out I’d be making $12.50 an hour. I told the hiring manager “I’m sorry, but the gym across the street is looking for a janitor at $13 an hour.” With that, I picked up my belongings, walked across the street within full view of the interviewer, and ended up being hired a personal trainer (I was a certified personal trainer throughout college). I was payed a fair wage, and worked there until I could finally get a job as an actuary.
I was told the pay was competitive. I was offered $26 an hour.... I was making $43.50 at their competitor
Competitive is such bullshit. Its really sketchy, i never apply for jobs that say that.
@@jgw9990 if they don't say how much they pay I don't even bother it only gets sketchier from there
@@miguelruiz4613 Likewise. If you're not willing to state how much you are willing to pay then it's a game. 'Competitive' is just bullshit.
“Competitive pay, flexible schedule, and we’re like a family,” always red flags.
Going through potential jobs, if tgere isnt a fixed hourly rate or salary, I pretend it doesn't exist.
As much as its considered taboo to ask about it, I always do. "What will my starting rate be? How many holidays per quarter? What is the company policy on illness and wellbeing?"
How they react to those questions alone tell you all you need to know about your company.
If they don't give you figures, walk. They're just going to fuck you every way but the right way.
Folks its not wrong to value yourself! You are interviewing them just as they are interviewing you, they want you for your values the same.
true
This exact thing should be told and re-told to every single high-schooler out there before they leave and enter the Real World.
When you get out there, you're basically still a kid, socially speaking and are very naive, and you instinctively want to please everyone and do your best. You are yet to learn that some people aren't deserving of such energy.
Schools need to tell these kids how shitty employers can be, and what to watch out for, and to ALWAYS respect themselves, and to ask such corkers like"Is this a good company to work for? Why?"
Oh, and to teach them ALL of the illegal questions employers will invariably ask, and how to reply to them. You know...practical stuff!
Put them on the spot! It isn't all a one way street!
I attended an interview and was immediately made to do a technical test. To plan out a server installation. The guy left me there. An hour later I got sick and tired of waiting for him to come back, and took the test with me. I told the receptionist I was leaving as clearly he had forgotten I was there and it was incredibly rude. Plus that clearly they were getting me to do a design job for free and masking it as a technical test !! Absolute fucking joke !!

I've walked out of several because a LOT of employers falsely advertise jobs just to get more people interested in them. When I was job hunting there were several that would advertise a certain wage structure and certain working hours, only for you to do the interview and find out its completely different. Never accept a job that is willing to just openly lie like that.
My wife got hired one October for a 'full time' job at a retailer that just went under. Worked out fine until January when all of a sudden she was informed that she was part time (she was only getting 4 hours of work per week, and some weeks zero hours.) It was all just a scam to hire seasonal help. She quit and never went back.
Similar lines: if you can read a job description and still not understand what you'll be doing, it's not worth it.
Last summer I went on maybe 10 interviews. You couldn’t be more right, these employers lie so much it should literally be illegal. It’s sickening bro
They said that "we are *always* looking for good talent" Realized why they had the same job posting up for the past 5 years and noped out very fast.
Yeah, never trust a place with a permanent "Help Wanted" ad.
And don't trust a place that posts new job opening ads like every week. People leave them for a reason.

When in an interview, if the interviewer makes the statement that we're a 'family' here, I walk out without saying a damn word. I do, however, shake my head in disgust.
It is hard picturing someone saying that with a straight face.
"Team," "family," blah, blah, blah. If they have to sell the job, you don't want the job.
Sure, it sounds good for the first microsecond, and then you start thinking of all the royally effed-up families you know of.

Not me but a girl who was being interviewed before me walked out because the lady who was interviewing her straight up said that she would get the job and that I wouldn't. Her reason was because they do not hire men as they worked with children, according to her we were in capable of this work.

Wait... isn't that gender discrimination, like, overly? Isn't that illegal?
The K2 Despot Yes.
It is straight up illegal to tell someone they wonMt hire you because of your race, gender, or disability.
Some companies can skirt around this by not asking the question, and just hiring the person they REALLY want
My mom used to work in child care for the government in a naval station. Back when I was unemployed, she said I should apply for a position there because they were ALWAYS trying to find men. Apparently they were seeking positive male role models.
Not part of an interview but I was offered a management position at oreillys and I asked what the pay difference was for a cashier and a manager and he said about $0.50, imagine having a ton more responsibility for only $0.50 more, naw I’ll pass
I took a middle management promotion for +$2.50 an hour with another +$1.00 on the table in 6 months. I quit after about three and a half. You just get shit on from upper constantly and have to either eat it forever or be a dick to those below you. Fuck that.

It was like that at joanns too. I was working there part time as I already had a full time job but had been with them for a while. Then I noticed how people who had only been there luke a week were being promoted to key holders and managers and I was a little hurt, you know. But then I asked how much more they were being paid lol so sad
I walked out of one when i asked a out sick/holiday pay. The interviewer said "we dont do those." I asked what happens if im sick, and i was told "dont be sick. If you're off one day you're fired." Thanked them and left.
I'd understand no holiday pay, some places dont do that, but if your too sick to come in your too sick i mean if it was like a constant thing maybe unless you had some sort of medical problems but other than that sick/holiday pay is mostly for higher end jobs/positions

I sent my resume to a company, they did an interview, they hired me and I worked half a day before they give me a job application. I fill it out and the last page is an inventor's agreement. It basically said that if I think of an idea while I'm working for them, even if I'm at home in the shower and it has nothing to do with what the company makes, they own it, and even if I leave the company and only years later develop the idea at great expense and effort, the fact that I initially thought of it while working for them means they own it. I'm an engineer and I like to tinker in my spare time with the hope of someday inventing something, so no way. But even if that hadn't been the case, the sheer brazeness of claiming that every thought in my head belonged to them was outrageous and hinted of something darker to come.
I worked at a bank once that tried that sh*t on me. I marked up and crossed out elements of the "agreement" until _I_ was satisfied with it before signing. Never heard back from anyone about what I did. I didn't last too long there--got into a political tiff because I wasn't about to be extorted on a United Gougers Fund contribution. F those guys.
That's when you hit them with the old "do you also claim ownership for any malicious code that may or may not be released to the wider public"
"We are all dedicated to our company and overtime is not paid"
"y'all be crazy. seeya" that's illegal by BTW
Actually, depending on the job, it may not be illegal (the only caveat is that your total pay divided by hours must equal minimum wage.) Of course, I wouldn't work under those conditions.
Why work OVERtime?
It's called be an exempt employee. Almost all salaried jobs work like this.
What Kenny Phillips
and The AlienRobotAnthropologist
said. I've known people who've turned down promotions because they would be switching from hourly to salary and would effectively be taking a pay cut. I work in manufacturing but I hope to go into a well paying trade.
Salaried jobs don't pay over-time... AND no, there's no legal necessity for a salary to balance above minimum wage. The military doesn't... Trust me. I was a couple years at a steady .25 cents an hour in the military if you (conservatively) did the math... You don't even approach minimum wage until around E-6 or 7...
Hourly workers doing unpaid labor is WAGE THEFT... so report it. GET your evidence... This is why I'm always "wired" when I take interviews, and for the "probationary" period of work. I get tape on everything... It's only good at keeping honest people honest... and reporting those who aren't.
BUT when you show appropriate authorities (even Police have to enforce laws like this) video of someone specifically stating, "Oh no. We don't pay no overtime." There's a guarantee that some VERY uncomfortable questions are going to get to some very uncomfortable answers... shortly. ;o)
Be weary of any job where the interviewer says: "The job's pretty easy, just watch out for ______."
It's a trap. Whatever ______ is, it will happen often.
This reads like a CAH black card. I love it.
"Just watch out for Cum."

noodleking 92 I have unfortunately made this mistake because now I work on Saturdays and Sundays. Sigh.
I had an interview with a dealership were they told me in my first interview they would pay me $20hr plus benefits ( only reason why considered it was because it was in my hometown) I was fully certified plus some, then I go to the second interview and they said they would pay me $10hr which is below the minimum wage here even though with the amount of certifications I have with the manufacture they wanted a good and certified tech but didn't want to pay for it. walked out went across the street got hired as a tech for $23hr plus benefits
So the second company paid less than minimum wage and wanted someone with your skills and titles/certifications? Damm, sure lands in Choosingbeggars
The key word here is "dealership"; they're the most sleazy, dirty, lying scum that ever walked.
@Xyre154 That happened to my son, although the pay changed after he got the job. It never rose, and it soured him on the entire automoyive technician trade. Yes, it was a dealership that sold luxury cars.
Fuck dealerships. They're the retail of the auto repair world. I became a fleet mechanic a couple years ago. Best thing i ever did, paid by the hour with OT, always know I'm gonna make a paycheck.
Reduces your offered pay.
I conduct interviews all the time, here are some tips:
1) If you wait 15 minutes past your initial appointment and they haven't contacted you about it, leave. They don't value your time.
2) Be honest if you have been fired from another job, don't sugarcoat it.
3) Don't show up 30 minutes early, we have other things going on. 10 minutes is plenty.
4) Bring a notebook and ask LOTS of questions, it shows you are interested.
5) Ask about culture, culture, culture.
6) If you are negotiating salary always shoot for 30% more than is advertised / expected ESPECIALLY WOMEN. I can't tell you how many times people just accept the first offer. Trust me, it IS within our budget.
7) Follow up in about 3 working days. Not the next day or that afternoon.
8) When they say "Tell us a little about yourself" tell them a hobby or 2 and some reasons why this job interests you. Not about your divorce.
9) When we ask you why you are interested in this job, "make more money" is never the right answer.
10) Ask for a tour, even if you think it went bad. You get much more from us when we are walking around 1 on 1.
I'm sorry but how long is 3 working days?
@@josiaha6532 Working days are Monday through Friday. It isn't an exact number, its just meant to emphasize letting some time pass. If your interview was Thursday, call back Monday or Tuesday.
Thanks for the tips. I've only had summer jobs as of yet, but only have a little over a year left to college. I'm more worried about being overqualified for a shitty job than being underqualified for good ones.
@@yehoshuas.6917 Go for the job you want. Don't settle, but understand that people come first. So when you do get that hot shot ceo job, remember the time you had to work that shitty job to get somewhere as the janitor tries to talk to you about a promotion.
Does that salary negotiation tip apply for every kind of job? I get the impression that most jobs which offer minimum wage will just move on to the next applicant if you try to ask for more.
I'm glad to see that some people are showing self-respect. For too long, companies have been relying on desperate jobseekers to get away with exploitive working conditions.
Exactly.
Local college I was attending would bring in prospective employers to interview students about to graduate. Interviewed with one small software shop and was offered a position after graduation. Afterwards about 6 of us were comparing notes on the company. Turns out we were all offered jobs. The guys were offered software developer positions, while the women were offered clerical positions (we were all supposed to be interviewing for developer positions.) We told our profs, who told the schools administrators. That company was never allowed to recruit on campus again.

I went to interview for GAME once under the impression it was a full time position based on the job listing online which I applied via. I’m halfway through the interview and they then tell me it’s actually a zero hour contract, so I would only be working as and when they need me. I asked how often it would likely be that I would get to work, they said maybe 4-5 hours a week or more if it was busy, but it could be across any day so I effectively would have to be on standby every single day waiting for them to call me at any time to tell me to come in. I chuckled, said “yeah, no thanks” and walked off. Zero hour contracts seriously need to be banned.
My job offers 0 hr contracts, but also makes the new employees sign a waiver saying they're willing to work unlimited hours. Luckily, I'm full-time now, so I get a guaranteed 40 hrs/weeks and get paid to sit and watch tv if the work is done. But, in the past I've worked from 4:30pm-10am, then had to come in again that same day for 430pm.
Who do they think is just going to sit around waiting for the phone to ring so they can put in a couple hours a day here and there?
Timid Hobgoblin Back in the late 1980s, I worked for the IRS enter names and addresses of people who ordered tax forms. The order requests were sent to an assembly line for envelope stuffing. They were very upfront about the 0 hour contract, as the amount of work varied each day depending on request volume. The only bad thing for me was the waiting around in case they called. You wasted an entire day in which you could have been working somewhere else. Unemployment rates were very high, and this job was better than no job at the timt.
In the UK at least, 0 hour contracts are being banned. Thank fuck for that, a friend of mine worked in a warehouse and was given 0 hours 1 week then fired the next. And he couldn't do anything about it.
Since your talking about GAME I'm assuming you're in the UK? I'm 99% sure zero hour contracts are now illegal here in the UK so either you're interview was a while ago or they were trying to pull a fast one on you.
Tried to pay me tipped minimum wage

Giving you the benefit of the doubt, that just seems silly on their part. Don't they know even if your on tip wages they still have to cover you full minimum wage if you don't make enough tips? Why not just offer minimum wage.
Whoever these employers are shot themselves in the foot with that.
Basically, they wanted the waitresses to share the tips with the "waiter's assistants", I've got a family member who works there who told me that more often than not, the waitresses keep it all for themselves.

I am an automotive repair tech with twenty plus years experience. i walked out in the middle of an intetveiw with both my integrity and pride intact. i put in for a position at a local chain transmission shop. at the interveiw i was informed that every transmission can be made to fail if you test it correctly. and that reading the customer was more important than the condition of the vehicle. i stood up told him that i like to sleep at night and walked out.
They scheduled it for a literal dark and stormy night around 9pm on a friday, then the guy who was supposed to do it never showed up, so they left me waiting for an hour, then pestered me about why I hadn't been employed yet (I was young but not too young) and straight up stated that I must've been in jail since sixteen. They then diverted from what I applied for and instead asked me to do a position where I'd unload a truck of boxes at 3AM for 4hrs a week. They then asked if I thought I would stay at this shitty, no-hours position for a long time. I walked out.

When I was very young and naive, I went to an interview. My dad drove me, because something was up with my car (so long ago, just remember it was not available to me). He waited in the parking lot, thank God.
I walked into a makeshift "office", that I now know, looked like maybe they'd rented for the day. There were all of these index cards taped to the walls, and pinned to freestanding bulletin boards. Each card had a job description, and a dollar amount listed on it. They had me complete some paperwork, and some simple testing. Then they told me to browse the "available jobs" (the cards). If I found one I liked, take it down and bring it to one of the people sitting at folding tables (kind of reminded me of when you go vote) and I would be interviewed. I found 3 or 4 jobs that looked like a good fit. Took the cards to the table, and was told to pay THEM $600 to be considered for the positions. Apparently the dollar amounts were price tags? I didn't have anywhere near that kind of money, I was young and unemployed. So I go out and ask my dad for it. He tells me to get in the car, and we drove home.
He called and reported them. When the police arrived (not sure how much later), the place was an empty office. 🤦🏼 I saw people actually hand over cash payments. I don't think there were any jobs.

Had an interview over the phone with a company in another state. It went well at first, but then they started asking me very technical questions that had nothing to do with the job position that I was interested in and I had no answers as I was not qualified to answer the questions they were asking. Then they got rude, telling me that I should know these things and asking why I was even wasting their time. I explained that they seemed to be interviewing me for a job other than what I was calling in for. There was a pause and then an apology. It was too late and I told them to have a nice day but they can go ahead and take me off of the list or prospects for the job.
I had a job interview for a company that did PLC software for some other big company or such. During the interview the guy got technical and asked how I would mesh program language A with B on a specific PLC vendor type, if I had to. I can’t remember the exact question. I looked at him funny and said, “you can’t! They are for two completely different platforms. At first I thought it was one of those “trick” questions, trying to determine if I actually had experience or not. The interviewer then started to berate me. Saying I must not be that intelligent if I couldn’t figure out how to do such a simple thing. Meanwhile I had 15 years of experience on this guy giving me the interview, who was going to be my manager. I just looked at him and said, “Sorry, interview over”. Then I walked out.
I also broke protocol and called up his manager, and told her the results of the interview, and that she should probably question the experience of her next in line manager because that guy was as smart as a bag of rocks. That’s the last I heard from them.
I once had a 'speed interview' and when I answered the first 3 questions promptly and sufficiently to a point even my autism was satisfied (high functioning assburgers for realz like), then the interview panel just went silent for a full ten seconds before declaring.
"Well silence is never good in a speed interview." To which I responded.
"You've clearly already found a candidate and are now just rushing through the remaining pool in the name of "fairness". Be more honest next time as no one likes having their time wasted." I paused for ten seconds for maximum effect. " Especially in a speed interview. Good day to youse." And then stood up and left with narry nod let alone a handshake.
Believe it or not but I actually got an email saying someone more qualified had gotten the job but they'd keep me on file. Now that was unexpected even if pretty much meaningless.
Handled that shit like a boss!
1. I waited 45 minutes and left
2. I was getting the walk thru and i watched one of the supervisors spazz out on a guy for asking a simple question. I figured if he had no problem doing that infront of interviewees, id imagine that would be me in a few weeks
You were right to do so. At companies bad managers are usually bad in the same way.
Head chef has a hacking cough fit in the middle of the interview. He coughs up bloody mucus into his hand, then pulls his lower lip down with his finger and looks in the mirror to reveal bleeding gums. "God dammit, not again," he says, before spitting blood in the hand wash sink three times and wiping the bloody mucus on his apron. Nopey nopearoo.

Left my job on lunch break to head to another shop to talk to a manager and drop off a resume. Wasn’t a formal interview, they just wanted to meet me first and get my info.
I made it VERY clear to the manager that I was only on a lunch break and had a strict time constraint, but that I could come back later to speak more. This man just keeps rambling on about things and showing me around, I’m getting worried about time so I take the quickest glance at my watch to make sure because I absolutely couldn’t be late, literally a glance.

I wasn't interviewed, but many years ago when I was a freshman in college, I applied for a bank teller position at Chase. I filled out all of the typical questions such as my information, work history, etc. Then I had to take a super long questionnaire that took me about an hour and a half. It were "What would you do in this situation?" questions. After taking all of that time answering each question to the best of my ability, I finally got to the end in which the website basically just told me that based on my answers, I would not be a good fit for the position. Thanks for making me waste an hour and a half of my life, you pieces of shit at Chase.
I always hated chase as a bank they're so full of shit I cant understand why people bank with them in the first place
Those personality tests are only good for weeding out those who know how to bullshit from people with actual integrity.
There’s no way to pass those tests if you’re being 100% or simply don’t know the exact answers they want.
Same thing happened to me except I applied to a job as a sales consultant at AT&T. 5 seconds after I finished the questionnaire, I got an automated rejection email. Wonderful. Don't even get me started on the hours-long questionnaires for CVS.
In all honesty, what did you expect the company to do? It sucks that you had to spend all that time only to be rejected but it goes both ways. If you didn't answer those questions and they later found out you weren't a good fit for the company, you would have wasted your time and their time as well.

When I asked her how this was relevant to my ability to sell the product, she packed her stuff up and terminated the interview. At this point I proceeded to laugh loudly.
Anyway sales is a small world and someone I knew ended up working for them. Turns out they don't pay the commissions that they advertise and noome in the sales department actually makes any decent money.

I dropped out of college and was pretty desperate for a job because i was on my own. I had the hardest time getting hired, I was attending at least 3 interviews at one point but I was 18 and little professional experience, but enough to qualify as a front desk agent for a hotel. I was shocked at the unprofessionalism I experienced with some of hotel managers. One time I interviewed at an independently owned hotel and it went really well. The manager even told me it went really well and to follow up in a week. I called and said "Hi this is Veronica calling about the job" and he responded like "oh yes we are excited to have you start!!" I was over the moon happy, but then he realized that he was talking to the wrong person. Turns out that he interviewed another girl named Veronica and offered her the job. He thought it was her calling. To be fair, he did apologize profusely, but the damage was done. He very well could've bothered to remember that he interviewed two girls named Veronica and told both to call him. I cried for a solid 20 minutes when he hung up. I have also had a hotel manager I interviewed with tell me that I wasn't confident enough for front desk and that I should start off in housekeeping and work my way up. I told her I wasn't interested but thanks and that I had been offered another job. She got nosy and asked where. I decided to tell her that I was hired as a front desk agent at the competing hotel across the street from her hotel. That was somewhat satisfying.. but it was a long road to get there. I had another manager lead me on and not offer me a job after THREE separate interviews over the course of several months. It was ridiculous. I did very well in hospitality, promoted to front desk supervisor at 19, offered front office manager at 20, etc. But I am still annoyed to this day about the lack of professionalism and respect that managers and HR departments show their applicants, particularly young people who they know NEED a job and will accept that kind of behavior. I am lucky to have gotten past that and have enough experience and connections that I don't need to rely on someone else for job and I don't have to put up with disrespectful behavior out of desperstion for a job. Now when I interview, I interview THEM too to see if I'm interested in the and the company, but I know not everyone has that luxury, particularly young applicants trying to get their foot in the door. They still deserve to be treated fairly.
I was interviewed at Pizza hut, maybe 2017, the person interviewing me never looked at me, he looked out of the window. He says that if your customer run off without paying then the pizza comes out of our pay. Yeah like we're being paid £7.20 an hour and a single pizza is £20. That means if a party of 4 all having pizzas would end up in you owing pizza hut money.
I just got up at that point, refused to shake his hand and got in my car.

That's one of the things that gulls me so much about a lot of these places. Why the heck are you making your EMPLOYEES pay for a customer not paying?

I would understand if your job put you in charge of loss prevention and they didn't hinder your ability to do it. (No budget or staff.) Otherwise, you're 100% correct. Making sure customers can't steal is the company's job. Not yours for 7.20/hr.

Mistakes like that are exactly the reason why it's now the procedure in any competent hospital to ask the patient for their name, their date of birth and exactly what type of operation they're here for, on exactly what part of the body, right before starting the anesthetic for the operation, and to have at least two people confirm it all matches what they were expecting.
HR has a very low bar for entry. That’s why they resent engineers and IT people. We are so overpaid in their eyes.
My manager is exactly like the first one. He would give me instructions, I would write them down, carry them out to a T, and then he would lose his shit because he changed his mind 5 minutes later, and it was my fault because...?
That's every minute of every day in the military. You're literally held hostage by insane psychopaths who have nothing to do but torture you.
Having that issue as well. Why didn't you do X, Y and Z? Because that's not what we discussed. I did what you asked of me. Manager proceeds to flip out. Like I'm sorry I can't read your mind guy.
Same, it's a shame that the dipshit is the boss lots of the time
Interviewed for a job, that payed 1/3rd less than i was making data entry temping, as a treasurer for a national organization. I looked for a candid camera and promptly told them I'd need to embezzle just to make rent...no way this was serious. They called me and told me I was a terrible person later for not being interested.
"Oh no no, we're passionate about the work we do here, so overtime is not paid"
"And I'm passionate about making money; in fact, making money makes me passionate about the work I'm doing"
I hate places that expect people to work unpaid overtime. So they don't believe that people should be financially compensated for providing a good or service? Doesn't that break one of the fundamental rules of capitalism?
Cameron Henry The fundamental rule of capitalism is to exploit labor as much as possible and give as little in return as possible
@NewBlueTrue you sound like a worthless employee anyway. Seriously, you lefties and that buzzword...

I walked out of a interview because it was a 45 minute group interview that they never told it was. They spent the first 10 minutes talking about the history of a insurance company. Nobody cares.
Was it AFLAC? I had a similar experience, but I was desperate so I didn't walk (but didn't end up working there)
Primerica? Dodged a bullet there. Serious scam.

I was looking for a job around November after I was forced to resign at my previous job as an IT specialist.
Someone called me for an interview. It was for customer support. I was desperate for work back then since it was November and I didn't want to be jobless on December. On my way to the interview I realize I didn't put up with my previous company as an IT specialist to go back into customer support. I got a text from the human resources, asking me if I was on my way. I replied them and told them what I thought and thanked them for the opportunity. A week later, I got a call from them, this time it was a IT position. It's been over a year and a half and I still work as an IT guy there.
I do background checks on everyone I meet when it comes to business. "recommend this especially if you're in Marketing like me"
When I arrived the person that was to be interviewing me walked past me three times without saying anything (I knew what he looked like because of my prep) then he sat down at the front desk and starting ordering his lunch. So I wrote on one of my business cards "Don't waste my time" left it on the seat and walked out.
That one seems like you could have prevented it by introducing yourself to him,
I think of how many lunchtimes I’ve missed because of having to interview someone. I can’t believe that the interviewer put having lunch ahead of conducting a scheduled interview. That is just plain rude. It might just be him but most managers at a given company have the exact same faults. More likely than not, the bad habits and bad traits shown by the interviewer are shared by everyone in the chain of command.
I got insulted by the hiring manager at a big hotel chain recently....
The area that I specifically work at requires you to have substantial mechanical/business/financial/Human resources/Operational etc abilities which can only be acquired through extensive experience and coaching...
Long story short as i kept telling her what i was capable of doing she kept on challenging me, but she obviously didnt have a clue of what the position was about since it was the first ever to be opened by that company in its history. I just kept laterally schooling her on everything.
Eventually we reach the point where she asks me about if i smoked or drank alcohol, which i told her no and have never done it and never will(didnt tell her i got a weak liver), as soon as i tell her this she says "then you must be a virgin too"
She said this in front of her cute assistant which looked clearly uncomfortable.
Picked up my shit and took off.
Kinda sucks because that was the only open position available in the city.
Not just unprofessional but illegal. They can't ask you if you smoke or drink or pray to satan or dance nude in the woods like a druid or have kids or are planning to or who you vote for. It's none of their effing business and has no bearing on work.
I would have said straight back without missing a beat "Well the way you and I are going, I think I'll be losing my virginity in about 5 minutes anyway. Do you want your assistant to leave because she's already embarrassed.". I would have also asked if she was a farking uptight feminazi who hates men as I was walking out too.
@@OffGridInvestor i'm always skeptical of people who say they totally would've done the wittiest thing they could think up after ten minutes right there on the spot, but power to you.
When I was in my late teens/early 20's I ended up replying to an ad and heading off to what I thought was an interview at a start-up company of some sort (I needed a job they seemed keen on the phone, so what they did was details at that point). I turn up and its set up like a lecture room, with everyone seated ready for a powerpoint, slideshow and flow chart cockwaffle-a-thon. Its seemed to go on for ever. Turns out it was totally some pyramid selling shit, the guy next to me gave me a bit of a heads up that its best just to leave before they come on with a hard sell, so I do. After all that time (3 hours), it was late and I was keen to get home, problem was my old as car had other ideas and the battery was flat. The main suit at the 'interview' spotted that I had no way of leaving and came over to see if he could help/hard sell me. Eventually he noses his really flash looking truck/ute up to my shit-box and pops the hood for a jump start. I tried to explain to him that its his got to be really careful jumping it because my car was a positive earth (as opposed to most cars being neg earth). He pulled the ol age makes you smarter, I've jump started more cars that you've had hot meals rubbish. So...I let him go for it. As soon as he touched the last terminal on my car, his truck make a really funny sound and then stopped, with just a faint alarm going off under the hood (basically the death chirp of his computer). While he started to panic, I made good my escape using the slight slope in the carpark, just missed his truck, crash started the car, went home and had a blunt....fuck him, his truck and his waste of everyone's time :)
@Lesbian Amazon Sister Yep, and it was back when people told you their new car/truck/whatever had a computer in it...cos they were expensive af....I still have a laugh about it now, it would has cost thousands to get fixed :)
Ok, so you know...positive goes on red terminal and ground gets connected to frame of vehicle, not the negative battery terminal...
@@pillowbugg Yep, that's right in most cases. However the 105E ford anglia was a positive earth, which made it tricky when installing a car stereo as the unit had to be isolated from the body of the car.
@@pillowbugg there's a FEW, very few handful of systems where it doesn't. Quite rare but I've heard of this before in some generator systems. Coming from a guy living mainly off multiple stand alone 22 volt solar systems.
I only walked out once when I requested to see the manager for my interview and apparently she had “clocked off”, forgetting that I had an interview that evening. The employee said she’d be about 20 minutes. 40 minutes later there was still no sign of the manager, I up and left.
Years ago (about 1990) when you still phoned up for job ads in the paper, I applied for a job, can't remember the exact details of the ad, but thought it was something worth checking out. This was when the effects of the '87 crash were being felt, the place I was working for went bust & I was getting pretty desperate. Turned up to find it was a "group interview" where we were expected to spend a whole heap of money up front for Herblife to re-sell. Walked out of that one before the pitch was finished.
Are you fucking joking me? HerbalLife has been around since the late 80s? How the hell do these multi-level marketing/network marketing companies last so long without ever getting shut down for fraud?
@@maskedbadass6802 same question really ..
@@maskedbadass6802 fraud?🤨 this is new lol explain it to me like i was 5 if you wanna😂

Went to an interview as a passport photographer many years ago. It was in the store, so the current photographer was taking pics on the other side of the room. (I smiled at him as I passed and he gives me a weird blank faced look. Huh.). Turns out the manager who was interviewing me was kinda rude. I was working for a photography studio, but this job seemed to be offering a higher pay, but turns out they wanted you to work 50 hours a week at less than I was being paid at my current job but technically I’d take home more money. She also mentions that there is a high turnover rate. Then she asked about my experience. I say I have 2 years experience and have an associates degree in photography and she waves her hand and says “photographers are a dime a dozen”. And then asks if I was hired could I start tomorrow. Surprised, I say well, I have to give 2 weeks notice. She says “Well, that might just cost you this job.” I tell her the company I work for gave me s chance by hiring me, I owe them the curtesy of giving them time to find a replacement. She says rudely, “Interview over”, and stands up. So I thank her and leave, realizing that I just dodged a bullet, cause the look I got from the photographer was really saying “Get Out!, Run!” 2 hours later she calls and offers me the job. I kindly decline. An hour after that, she calls again, says that I’d be a great fit, and I really should just come on board. Almost a bullying tone actually. I decline again and 20 min later her boss calls me to try to get me to take the job. I tell him that I could tell the job would be hell, and explain why. Just the attitude that employees are “a dime a dozen” makes for a shitty work environment. Guy says “Huh” and says thanks and hangs up.
I got hired two weeks later at a yearbook photography company, omg that was a blast.
That's nice.

Walked out of one myself. Got called in for an interview for what was represented as "Electrical Hardware" sales for a large big box store. That's how it was told to me. I get to the interview site (45 min drive) and there's a group of us waiting to be 'interviewed' and then I see a "Kirby" sign set in the background. I sat through about 30 minutes worth of bull &hit and then everyone took a break. Needless to say I had a screaming match with the "Managers" that had organized this hiring event. A whole group of us walked out after we educated the company on "Fraud".
I used to be a Kirby salesman, knocking doors and doing demos. I hated everything about it.
I was trying to interview at Denny's and I walked in and told the GM I was there....and ended up leaving after about 40 minutes of noone talking to me or acknowledging me, while it was the slow part of the day.
While waiting for my interview.. the store manager was talking about how big the garden cashiers butt was among other inappropriate things. The interviewer came out and I told her what I overheard.. that I couldn’t work for someone like that and got his bosses info... best part? The other interviewee walked out with me saying he agreed.
Ikr? Dat ass
Had something like that happen during an interview for Loss Prevention at the Big WM. Interviewer asked if I was comfortable following and observing suspicious persons, I was like "I stand out a bit so they might notice, but other than that, sure." Then he started asking if I knew how to identify a suspicious person. I talked about people doing weird stuff with their hands, looking over their shoulder a lot, or checking for cameras... he said something to the effect of, "Yeah, those can help, but mostly I'm talking about skin color." I didn't exactly nope out of the interview, but I didn't take the job when it was offered, either. I think I was too stunned and just sorta went on auto-pilot while I tried to comprehend. Especially since I had worked AT THAT WALMART before and our biggest repeat shoplifters were 5/6ths white.

@warner tesla Bro, that's what I was wondering too
I was interviewing at a Pyramid scheme. I figured out it was a pyramid scheme and left.
I've had that situation where the employer doesn't state the shift is an overnight shift. Drove almost an hour for the interview, waited 20 mins to be brought to a room with 3 owners of the company, had a 30 min interview then was offered a position as an overnight worker. Job posting said 4-12 pm not 12-8 am. Got up and said thank you for wasting my time and gas & left.
I dont take jobs an hour away unless I plan on moving nearby.
Almost walked out of my last interview. Guy interviewing me got to the part where we talk money. He offered. I stood up and thanked him for his time then turned to walk out. He said "wait!". Then offered me a position making $4 an hour more.
I took it.
Moral of the story is you don't have to settle for less. I learned that from an awesome counselor I had in rehab.
I traveled over 200 miles for an Interview. The interviewer turned up in jeans and T-shirt, younger than me, then proceeded to criticise my whole CV when I was a degree qualified Engineer, a rarity in the industry, deliberately winding me up. I stood up and walked out without saying a word, demanded a meeting immediately with the HR Manager at reception, complained, demanded my travel costs were paid before I left, then in the car park they offered me the job with £2k more a year, told them if they employ A*sholes like that - never!
I would have taken the job just to see. You handled yourself well, so they knew you weren’t someone they could slag off to get their rate down.
I walked in, the managers was super chill dudes, very relax. I was getting my interview for a kitchen manager at this restaurant, after like 10 minutes of chatting this these dudes one of them said they were going to show me the back so I can get a feel for it. Now let me say the front was like super super clean, I had really high expectations of this place tbh. I walked to the back of the kitchen to see what they were working with. Down the main line of the kitchen was a river and I mean literally like a running river of grease that was coming from the grill back their. I was like ok ya know maybe one of the pipes or something was broken, give them the benefit of the doubt here. I see there dishwashing area, normally in kitchens there is a drain next to the dishwasher and there was just that you couldn't use it because people were jamming food and napkins down it because they didn't want to sweep the floor properly.... ok ya know little weird. It I can work around this still I met some of the workers, they were pretty ok for the most part although this kid with headphones in kept messing things up because servers would come back after putting a ticket in to explain something and he just couldn't hear them.. later on they were closing and I stayed to see how they closed their restaurant. They had 1 guy for the dishes the other for the main line. This is normal for the most part. Dish guy got done and left before the line guy was done so there were like tons of left over dishes from the line that didn't get cleaned that night, now the line guys just has to sweep and mop the floors so what's he do? He takes a freaking bucket of warm water with hand soap throw it down the main line and starts mopping over the unswept floor.... at this point I was like is this even worth my time anymore? The answer was no lol I walked to the managers chilling in the office and told them maybe the job wasn't for me. The worst thing is, I'm pretty sure they knew why to. This is another example of if your the manager of these places *it is your job* to make sure stuff like this does not go on. They were like super chill people but you cant let your kitchen staff have control over your entire restaurant.
Same, just last week I walked into a restaurant for an interview and started on a training shift about 5 mins later... Front of house was pretty decent but as soon as I went to the kitchen I saw how fuckin nasty it was... I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt but then I was taken to the back area/fridge, the countertops floor were covered in sticky hairy shit... I immediately cleaned it because I couldn't stand a customer eating ANYTHING from that area, 40 min later I handed in my apron and left... While cleaning I spoke to the staff who either seemed demotivated or were rude to me and I realized what a shitty place to work at it was

I was offered an interview for a customer service representative position. I went through 3 hours of grueling tests, and mind games. They made it challenging, but I started to realize what the interviewer was doing. He was setting me up for door to door sales literally selling window installation. This wasn't at all in the job description. Once I caught on I walked out, and they called me several times asking when I was going to come in for my first day lmao.

I had an interview in a Hotel.......turns out it was the pub next to the Hotel for a similar role. Door to door Salesman where they wanted me to pay £300 for my starter kit (would be deducted from my wages.) I noped out and blocked them. Absolute farce !!
I went for an interview for a company that was supposed to be contracted by a large cell phone company. I was lead into a waiting room by "George" who was very tall and, amoung other things, had a very distinct tie & socks on. I was then asked to wait, as "Anthony" would be out to get me shortly.
I waited, no problem. 10 minutes later "George" came out of the office and said: "Hi! Nice to meet you, I'm Anthony." Wait.... what? He was "George" 10 minutes ago! Thinking I maybe got something wrong, I looked at the tie and the socks again. Nope, that's definitely "George". He then lead me into another room where I met "Martin" and started the interview along with "Anthony".
They also wouldn't tell me exactly what the job entailed. "We'll get into that once you're hired." Nope. I thanked them and left. They seemed quite annoyed that I kept asking what the job actually was!!
Damn call center most likely. Fark it almost sounds like you were being set up for a porno shoot. That's crazy creepy.
I “met” this guy on a local Facebook group who casually said he needed an office manager for his dental practice, I told him I was interested as I had worked as a healthcare admin for years and he DMed me. I messaged him back with my resume and gave him my phone number. When I picked up the phone I said “Hey Jeff”, casually. He immediately snapped “It’s DOCTOR ____!” Red flag #1.
We set up a time to meet the next day. I asked him if he wanted me to send my references beforehand, or just bring them to the interview? He said to just bring them. A few hours later he angrily left me a voice message saying he had been waiting for those references. Red flag #2. I’ve worked for unpleasant bosses before and decided not to wait for a 3rd red flag. I called him back and left a voice message saying “Hello Jeff, oops I mean DOCTOR ____. I don’t think this is going to work out. So I’ll be unable to make it to the interview tomorrow. I wish you much luck in finding a suitable candidate for office manager. Goodbye.” I feel sorry for whomever ended up working there
I had a job interview that asked me "If the previous shift left a mess in your area, what would you do to make sure that didn't happen?" I told them I would speak with the previous shift and then their manager(s) if it continued. The interviewer started laughing and told me "No. No, that is the wrong answer... just wow, so wrong." He then proceeded to make fun of my degree (Mass Comm, with a fine art minor), and proceeded to ask me about my apartment, home life, and other questions that started to get personal. After that, he asked me "how many days I felt I should be allowed to take off?" I told him 6 (we got 6 PTO days along with scheduled holidays, summer & Christmas shutdown, and emergency leave). He just stares at me for like a solid minute and says "You must be a lazy POS huh?" The interview ended shortly there after. Still have no idea what the "right" answer was for the first question.
"You must be a lazy POS huh?"
"Not too lazy to call up your boss (or corporate) to ask about their interviewing procedures."
He wants you to take the initiative to clean up the mess of the previous shift without any compensation. That's a scum move

I interviewed at a place that did "customer service" over the phone for a facial moisturizer company. When I saw the workspace, and heard they wanted you to upsell the customers calling for assistance with existing orders, I declined the position and said there was another offer that I'd be accepting. Two weeks later, I got a "you didn't get the job" letter dated ten days prior to my interview stating I was not what they were looking for. I circled the date and noted that I hadn't even interviewed with them on that date, and wrote, that it was me who decided they were not what I was looking for and that if they were so bold as to send out denial letters, get the date and facts straight and that was another reason I was happy I didn't accept a position with them.
The same thing kinda happened to me. I applied for an overnight position and when I went in for the interview they asked me which hours I preferred to work and I had asked isn’t this an overnight position?? Then when they said no, I said thank you for the opportunity but I applied for an overnight position and promptly left. A few days later I got an email saying they decided they weren’t going to proceed with my application or something like that.

@@strike9716 combine all of these ideas together and you get a very pissed off inspection of a centipede and dildo filled locker with strange white fluid all over everything, bonus points have a box at the very bottom visible so they have to dig too it.
The problem is not what you have in the locker, it's what others can put INTO your locker without your knowing, and then accusing you for bringing it in. It's the same reason you do NOT consent to a police search of your vehicle should you be pulled over. Have them get a warrant if they want to waste your time and their time.

I got one.. I was asked to come to a call center and interview/apply. I had to take a test, part of the test required plugins to run that were not installed on the browser. I went to the person in charge and told them about the issue, they blamed me for it and accused me of using the wrong browser, they were the ones that opened the program/website for me. They blamed me for it not working so I just stood up, told them I dont think this place is a good fit for me and walked out. They ended up closing that call center some time later.
