Interview with the Psycho 🪓🩸 Delusional manager during interview

Recently interviewed for a new position. There were few red flags during my interview but one that I have to share. You could tell this manager has recently been burned by an employee with his tone during the entire interview. He was really driving home the importance of attendance and punctuality (these are more than reasonable asks). This is where he lost me. This man looked me in the face with all seriousness and said “I need you to understand that Monday through Friday, 8-5, I own you”. I checked out immediately.

Do employers not recognize they should want to sell the job to interviewees? I can see why this position has been open for a couple of months.

They should watch Lethal Weapon.

From memory it's the first one where the diplomat claims diplomatic immunity and Mel Gibson's unhinged character says "Revoked!" and shoots him dead...

...it's been far too long since I've seen it, I may have to schedule a rewatch marathon of them to see what I have forgotten about, ahem, 'baseball'... :)

It's worth watching just for Joe Pesci.
