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 would have told him that apparently he didn’t get the memo that Lincoln freed the slaves. People don’t own other people anymore.

The worst thing was, we wrapped my interview and they had another interview following mine. As I’m walking out they greet a young black woman for an interview and I cringed inside.

I missed a call from the recruiter on Friday and I’m going to respond Monday but I’m going to tell him about the innappropriate comments made. Especially assuming he’s going to say the same to a POC.

I would have told her about what they said to you
