Job seeker ends interview early after learning they've been hiding a below-market rate
There's so little time in the day as it is it's just disrespectful to go about wasting other people's. Nobody likes to have their time wasted. It's one of the most common everyday examples of self-entitlement that really just needs to stop, namely when it comes to missed appointments and meetings or misleading interviews.
This can go both ways in the interview process; both vetting candidates and applying to jobs is so agonizingly time-consuming that going through the process unnecessarily is really wasteful and gear-grinding. That's why it's important for both candidates and hiring managers to be upfront about their offerings and expectations. There's no sense in hiding behind false promises when it will all come out in the wash anyways. What are you hoping to gain as an interviewer by being intentionally misleading?
A frustrated job-seeker shared their experience to Reddit's r/WorkReform subreddit, telling about how they had been misled about the compensation being offered, which ended up being below market rate. Commenters congratulated the poster for walking away and had some other messages for the interviewer. Keep reading for some selected screenshots of the original thread; for more, check out this interviewer who had to prove their degree to a hiring manager who thought their degree was fake because it was in latin.
