There's a strict code of professionalism that needs to be followed when undertaking job interviews. It's a situation that often has a significant power discrepancy, and the person being interviewed is usually nervous as all hell. Under no circumstances should you start asking a candidate highly personal and intimate questions about themselves.

Well, this code of professionalism is one that this idiot interview refused to follow when he decided it was ok for him to start into the personal topics with this poor woman. His questions ranged from across the line to highly inappropriate, even going as far to ask "what type of dudes [she liked]." Unsurprisingly, he was fired on the spot when she reported her experience to his superior. Now he's pissed off at her for "having him fired" and has even saved her personal details and tried to contact her. Like, dude, what?

The woman who was interviewed, Redditor u/R_Rover_2013, posted this thread to Reddit's r/AITA (Am I the A-hole) subreddit in order to see if she was in the wrong for getting this interviewer fired.

Commenters overwhelmingly sided with her, and several pointed out that his actions got him fired. She just reported them.

It doesn't sound like this guy is the type to learn anything from this experience, but hopefully, he'll eventually realize that his consequences are of his own actions.

Screenshots to follow.
