35 People Who Walked Out In The Middle Of Job Interviews Share Why They Did It

Fire hazard, there should always be a way to LEAVE

How weird - in a building with such high security, would an outsider not be accompanied everywhere? They did this for all interviews I had in the last years, even it was just the next door - not because of security, just to make sure noone get's lost or feels uncomfortable...

The Universe was looking out for you, just image....you could be the poor other candidate who got the job

So how did the other interviewees get in and out ok?

I can relate to this. I had severe trouble getting into a bank to teach a training course once. Like this, all external doors were operated by key cards. I walked a complete lap of the building and failed to find anything resembling an entrance. Asked at the neighbouring building which had a massive advertising sign for the bank on the roof and they denied all knowledge (later found out this building contained the canteen!). Finally wandered into the station concourse, which was part of the same building, and found a branch of the bank in there, so went in to ask... and was shown through to the reception. Now if only someone had told me this before I spent a good half hour making a complete tit of myself!

Ah, sounds like my old school. If you weren't 'inspirational', then your disability was ignored.

I was shocked by a young man raising funds for an organization for the disabled. He started his spiel with: "Do you know any Canadians with disabilities?" I answered, "Yes" and he looked as if I'd announced a death in the family and said, "I'm sorry". I tried to correct his pitying attitude by discussing my sister who has 10% vision (and 150% smarts and initiative) and realized it wasn't helping. I got fed up and walked away.

She should not be teaching anyone or making decisions about who teaches. That kind of attitude is toxic and can harm children for life in a multitude of ways. So many kids who were 'gifted' when they were younger discover learning disabilities or other challenges in a higher grade when the ways things are taught change. That can be devastating to a child without support, especially if you have a an educator whose attitude towards disabilities seems to be a thinly-veiled "eww"

That kind of behavior needs to be reported to her higher-ups.

They don't have students "like that" but they just said one of the students from the school for students with disabilities was accepted into the new school?

How did that employee even stay 15 years then without any raises??

Me: Than we're done taking.

See ya!

Job I once had was so thoughtful, they would research what your raise would result in actual money in hand. If it changed your tax bracket and therefore resulted in you making less, they would give you the option for them to hold that raise and add it to next years raise

This is the reality at Citi - they give a failed CEO a $400M golden parachute when they fire him, but certain people I know haven't been able to get a COLA, merit, or market adjustment raise for over 10 years (he is paid about $40 k below market and has had to train every manager he's had over the past 10 years... sigh), AND they stopped giving bonuses. You know what they give 20 year employees? $400 dollars... in gift cards...

"Sure. On the same day you hand over a signed blank check." /s

My workplace of 20+ years suddenly asked for my, and others, signatures on blanks paper. They want it to include on our profile pictures in the head office foyer. So anybody could walk in, get a picture of my face, and a signature to go with it. I declined.

It's a trick question. You are supposed to fold the paper once making a fold like the one in chinese hand fans and the sign on the crease so that your sign will be separated into two parts and no one can use it. Basically signing the page in a way that nobody can misuse it.

SIGN THE INTERVIEWER'S NAME AND WALK OUT.

It’s blank, who CARES?!

Without quotas I will never have a job. I am more qualified than most men, but I was born a woman. I know they hire me because of quota and took me lots of time proving myself and has to become bitchy. But otherwise - I will be simply stuck in the kitchen.

And then everyone cheered and raised you on their shoulders. What absolute nonsense.

I worked in the broadcast industry in the late 1970s. My coworker was female, black, and a Muslim. She called herself a Three-fer. (Three for one) Myself and the other member of the department, both of us also women, only counted as one. We did NOT share this joke with management.

I saw a movie once where a black man goes to a job interview and quickly realizes that he is totally unqualified for the job. But to his surprise, they offer it to him anyway. So he asks, "Are you offering me this job just because I'm black?" The interview replies flatly, "Yes." So he enthusiastically says, "Thank you, sir." Point being, if I was offered a job to fill some sort of quota or because the HR lady thought I was handsome (hey, maybe she has thing for overweight bald guys) or some such goofy reason ... I don't know. If it looked like a good job and it would get me in, maybe it would be worth a shot.

That happens when companies are forced to fill quotas. We have the same discussion here in Germany about quotas for companies hiring women to prevent paying fines. Or the idea that half of the Parliament HAS to be filled with women. (Literally putting gender before qualification)
