job hire horror stories

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.

One common horror story is when companies take forever to get back to candidates. They keep you waiting for weeks or even months without any update. It's really frustrating. Another is when they mislead about the salary. They advertise a certain amount but then offer much less when it comes to the actual hiring.

One new hire horror story is when a new employee was promised a certain role but on the first day, was given completely different tasks that had no relation to what was discussed during the interview. It was like they were tricked into taking a job they didn't want.

Miscommunication is a common one. For example, the job description not matching the actual tasks. Another is a bad work culture. If the existing employees are unfriendly or unhelpful, it can be a horror for new hires.

Another story is about the living conditions. Some Job Corp dorms were in a really bad state. There were reports of mold, which is a serious health hazard. The facilities were also often overcrowded, making it uncomfortable for the students to live there. This not only affected their quality of life but also their ability to focus on their training and studies. For example, students living in such conditions might get sick frequently and miss out on important learning opportunities.

One of my job horror stories was when I worked in a restaurant. There was a really mean chef. He would constantly yell at the kitchen staff for the tiniest mistakes. Once, I just put a plate in the wrong place, and he screamed at me in front of everyone. It was so embarrassing and made the work environment extremely stressful.

Another horror might be related to the training programs. There were cases where the promised training equipment was either broken or non - existent. For example, in a culinary program, the stoves were not working properly, and students couldn't get proper hands - on experience as they should in a normal training environment.

One of my live in job horror stories was when I worked at a hotel. I had to live in a tiny, damp room in the attic. The heating barely worked in winter, and it was always noisy as it was close to the elevator shaft. I could hardly get any proper rest.

One horror story could be long waiting times. People might wait for hours just to be seen by an advisor. Another is unhelpful staff. For example, some staff may give wrong information about available jobs or training programs. Also, there could be issues with the system. Like the system losing someone's application details, causing a lot of stress and delays for the job seeker.

A job offer horror story could be like this. A candidate received an offer from a well - known company. However, when they started, they realized the work environment was extremely toxic. The boss was constantly yelling and criticizing employees in front of everyone. There was also a situation where a person got a job offer for a part - time position with flexible hours. But once they started, they were forced to work full - time hours without any extra pay. And then, some people have experienced getting a job offer that was suddenly revoked without any proper explanation just a few days before they were supposed to start.
