Been waiting for 20 mins already. She says it’s “lunch time” so I have to wait.

Why’d you even schedule the interview at this time?!

Edit - I just left. When I can came home and told my mom, she said “you should’ve stayed longer. you’re the one who needed the job”.

    It's a power move to see how much bullshit you'll endure and to reinforce the notion that they're in charge. Fuck 'em.

    You did the right thing. If they treated you that poorly, they probably didn't want to give you the job. Either way, working there would have been unbearable

      moreover, if they treated you that poorly, they'd probably treat you pretty shittly if you got the job too. probably dodging a bullet, really.

    My parents will lecture me if I do something that's disrespectful to others but if a capitalist does it to me then they start bootlicking and telling me "that's how the way it is".

    That was the interview.

    You made the correct decision.

    I've had long waits where they were in previous meetings that ran long, and those waits are fine even if they take a while. This sounds like a crazy power play. If you can find a job elsewhere I'd go for that. People who need to show you they have control over you before hiring are not going to be pleasant to work for.

    God I wish we could feasibly charge interviewers for wasting our time.

    Your time has value and them doing shit like that is trying to gaslight you into thinking it doesn't.

    There is nothing more demoralizing than looking for a job. I just changed jobs and from the time I applied to the time I was offered was like 2 months. How are unemployed people expected to apply?

      ugh. if you think the interview isn't going well go on a 40 minute rant about the PMC and just load on her. fuck her.

    Anything strange that happens in job interviews always makes me think: are they doing this deliberately to test me?

    Fight Club scene making you stand outside until you've proven your obedience to stupid tests without question.

    I like waiting, I enjoy sitting looking at my phone and such. I like it way more than interviewing, but I get that most people prefer to do job interviews than to sit quietly
