He could've been a founder/CEO who's income was mostly in the form of ESOP's..

But then again, those type of people won't be getting interviewed by Assistant manager types like yourself

"I'll be in touch" I said as he awkwardly got up and fumbled out the door in his cheap suit.
It ain't right when you ****gy interviewers say this, even if it's obvious you're BS us. How about having the decency to let us know the problem or at least that we aren't what you're looking for? You give us false expectations. Who is the time waster here brah?

And this is why you are pussies. Get off your grandeur pal.

Why the hate on OP? Unaware.


And yea, the guy should have been more aware on the position's salary.

The guys says - and I'm not joking - "I'd be satisfied with anything over 35 thousand".

I glanced up from my clipboard like "u fukking wot". This was an 80k/yr position, how did this little twat make it through the gatekeepers?

I realized my time had been wasted but I put on my pokerface and let me curiosity guide me to confirm the worst.

Looking down at my clipboard writing notes about this guy I ask "what was your most recent compensation".


$30k a year he said.


I stood up and opened the door.

"I'll be in touch" I said as he awkwardly got up and fumbled out the door in his cheap suit.







WTF, Barabara in HR is going to get an ear full for even making me talk to a 30k/yr earner who clearly should not have been there.



Anyone else had this happen?






You know what, you look and sound like a complete douchebag that you just wanna smack around a few times until they start crying like a little bitch. I know it wouldn't take much for that to happen.

You look just as bad in your after pics as you do in your before pics.

How the fk did this guy get up to 50k reps??? You look like a little cry baby who's after Patrick Bateman's heart, fkin insecure *******. Your username should be revised to Mr A Twats instead. I like the way you're rockin those titties on that before pic. Wear a bra, the gyms not for you.

I don't get it, op? What's the problem? Sounds like a good deal to me...you could hire 1 more and still have $20k left over.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit softly.
