There are a lot of opportunities out there. Most of them are pretty bad. Some of them are strange. Some of them are a good reminder that there's no true standard to any kind of workplace decorum, and some bosses are straight up psychos. Luckily for us, getting that first interview can be a chance to look for those job interview red flags like "everyone is sad here" or "for some reason my hiring manager asked me for 50 bucks ad the contact info of 10 of my friends and family."

Here are some folks who got scared, skeeved or actively reminded that this wasn't a standard interview experience. Some actually ended well, but like everything else, life is a journey. That might be the kindest way of putting it.

Getting a new job can feel like a leap of faith, and it's important to look for signs that you're leaping onto a stable career path. Or at least a place where the boss won't yell at you for leaving at the end of your shift. For some of those jerks, here are satisfying times people quit unreasonable bosses.
