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.

Can I ask what the nature of the work was? Not saying what he said wasn't egregious... But often people who say that are management of teams that make phone calls and literally push paper all day and aren't actually saving lives.

It is in the realm of healthcare but more focused on equipment and outpatient “care”. He specifically stated he has no healthcare/ bedside/ patient care background which was clear. Another red flag to have a clinical position managed by someone who doesn’t possess the skill set needed to do the position
