‘One time I asked how much I’d be getting paid per hour, and the interviewer told me that they prefer applicants who don’t want to only come to work for the money. So that ✌️✌️’

‘I arrived early for an interview and the secretary screamed “you’re late” upon seeing me when I was actually early (guess the other person bailed). Just shows you how you’ll be treated going forward. ’

‘I interviewed for a six-figure job and they wanted me to commit to a 5-YEAR CONTRACT while being paid 30% less than the average market rate. They said if I left before the end of the five years was, it was a $50,000 penalty and I couldn’t work at a competing business within 30 miles. I wanted to negotiate around what they were offering and at least write in guaranteed annual 6% raises to outpace inflation, but they wouldn’t even budge on that.
So you want me to make you millions of fucking dollars while you sit on your greedy ass and in exchange gracefully pay me super shit base, guarantee no raises, and keep me hostage in your business?
I still can’t fucking believe the recruiters seemed to try and talk me out of walking away when I said no.’

‘I was at a group test for a company and the person flat out told us that we are not allowed to have personal cell phones at work. Okay but then they proceeded to tell us that if someone called to get a hold of us by calling the company that they wouldn’t pass on any messages.
I raised my hand and said I had a question. I asked them if someone called to let me know a loved one was in a serious car crash if they would let me know. He looked at me and said NO because I was there to work nothing else.
I stood up and started walking to the door, he asked me where I was going. I told him I am leaving, he was like we haven’t started the test yet. I looked him in the eye and was told that nothing is more important than family and if you won’t tell me if a loved one was in a crash then this is not a place for me.’

‘A lot, I mean A LOT a lot of questions about handling interpersonal drama. Like, A LOOOOOOOOOTTTTTT.
One or two, fine. Primary focus of interview? There’s some shit going on there that is just not worth the stress.’
