Worst Job Interviews People Ever Had

You can encounter some real wildcards on your search toward locking down your next great gig. Not all job interviews run smoothly. It'd sure be nice if they did, but some job interviews can end up being complete disasters.

Redditor u/AntonK7777 posted to r/AskReddit requesting stories of people's worst job interviews, and as you can imagine, the responses did not disappoint. From the person who discovered that a company intentionally acted rude to interviewees to see how they perform under pressure, the person who was weirdly coerced into choosing a specific candy, and the classic mid-interview realization that the company is a pyramid scheme, these interview stories are sure to make your blood boil and remind you of the weirdest interviews you've been on yourself.

We'd hate to be the person who said the employee they interviewed with straight-up told them they hate working at that company. Never fun.
