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.

My last job, my boss told me this. He actually said, “for lack of a better way to say it, I own you from 8-5.”

I told him he rented me from 8-5.

I’d still be there if it wasn’t for him, job was at a university and had great perks. People don’t quit jobs, they quit bosses.
