We've all been given radio silence from recruiters before, but this is a new level of savage ghosting from a potential employer. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by u/DentistThink4578, who opened up about a horrible Zoom interview experience he had recently.
The original poster has serious back problems that make sitting in an office chair hard to do (hence, the need to work remotely). During the interview, he set up his laptop on a lap desk and used a neutral background. It was about as professional as it could be given his condition, but no less than two minutes into the interview, the Redditor found himself cut off mid-sentence. He checked to see what happened and learned that he had been kicked out of the Zoom interview and blocked with a single departing message explaining that "we prefer workers who sit at desks in chairs." Keep scrolling below for the full story and for the suggestions people made in the comments about what he should do next!
