Man Gets Disrespected At A Job Interview, So He Pretends He Is Accepting The Job Just So He Could Not Show On Monday

Going out and seeking work can be a stressful process, especially if it's one of your first paid positions. The entire process, from discovering job listings that appeal to you to drafting and sending out your résumé to going through job interviews, is often not something most people would describe as "pleasant."

Of course, such experiences differ, but for most people, they are at least a bit stressful, which is why a smooth hiring process from the company's perspective is critical. Some firms, on the other hand, don't care about any of it, and as a result, the job search might be even more stressful for some.

It was precisely that in the case of Reddit user u/LazyMLouie. What happened to him was awful.

The user had enrolled in a trade school to become an electrical technician. He discovered a job offer that was too wonderful to pass up through career services.

But the hiring manager was so inconsiderate and dishonest (and so proud of it) that it made our OP want to fight back. His practice of deliberately making job applicants wait for hours and underpaying them simply demanded payback.

And he did. Scroll down to find out how he did it.

Job interviews can be nerve-wracking, especially if things don't go as planned.

The Reddit user begins his story by stating that he recently learned of a job opportunity that is too wonderful to pass up.

OP showed up on time for the interview, but the manager wasn't there

Getting a job can be difficult in some respects, no matter what position you're applying for. As a result, the job interview stage is usually predictable in the sense that you can plan ahead of time.

Of course, there will be some surprises, but nothing you can't anticipate. Nobody is prepared until they are forced to face something they are not ready for.

An hour has passed, and still no sign of the manager

Reddit

So, after two hours, the manager appeared, saying that waiting was a test.

And the pay is about half of what OP was told before

The manager complained about how people don't want to work. This infuriated OP. So he decided to fight back.

Redditors were angry as well, but offered some good ideas...

Reddit

People should not go to interviews there

Reddit

Maybe it works occasionally...

Reddit

Weird math...

Reddit

Manipulation pays off sometimes...

Reddit

The simple truth...

Reddit

One recruiter shared his thoughts:

Reddit

Good plan

Reddit

Karma is a b****

Reddit

Make them sweat

Reddit

What this company is doing is probably illegal.

Reddit

Any patient employers out there?

Reddit

Redditors advised OP to keep trying. There is a high demand for his trade.

The best advice:

When the original poster (OP) was told that the manager is often late, it's no surprise that he began to suspect something was wrong. However, given that the company was offering more than three times the minimum hourly wage listed in the ad, it's not surprising that OP remained hopeful while waiting.

Apparently, the job was not worth the wait.
