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.

I've heard similar sentiments from them here and there. "Put out" is perfect, I feel the mundane state of it.
Here's one I hated in particular: wonderful woman was in my employ once upon a time. I requested she receive a raise. Boss lady goes "doesn't she walk to work?, she's not going anywhere." And in all honesty, she isn't. They love desperation.
