Share Your Job Hire Horror Stories
One time, I was hired for a job. On my first day, they didn't have a workstation set up for me. I had to sit in a corner on a folding chair. And then they gave me a huge list of tasks that were not even in the job description. They expected me to finish them all in one day without any proper training.
Well, I once had a job interview where the interviewer was constantly on his phone, barely looking at me. It was so disrespectful. I felt like he didn't care at all about my skills or experience. It made me wonder if the company had any professionalism at all.
I applied for a job that seemed really great from the ad. But when I got there for the interview, the place was a mess. Papers everywhere, desks were broken. And the boss who interviewed me was super rude, asking inappropriate questions about my personal life. It was a total nightmare.
