This guy gave his potential employer the middle finger after he fed him the tired "Nobody wants to work anymore" line.

And with good reason too! This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by u/acfreeman94, who broke down exactly how he called out his interviewer for being completely shady. First, the job posting online was a blatant lie: the Redditor currently works at $32/hour and it turns out this job was actually only offering $18/hour. Second, throughout the interview, there were references to a dust problem in the office that has yet to be resolved. That clearly shows how these people view office conditions for their employees.

The funny part is that after the Redditor called the interviewer out on all of this, a few days later, the same guy called back offering a ~generous~ increase in pay to $20/hour. Sir, sit down! As the Redditor pointed out, it's not just that people don't want to work anymore; it's that they don't want to do it at such low wages. If these idiots don't actually start listening to their employees and interview candidates, they will be stuck with no one. Oh, and fix that dust issue!
