'She basically told you she didn't want the job': Employee tells boss about private DM's from a job candidate

Be careful what you say in the workplace, even if you think you're saying it in private. 

This woman got burned by a coworker, and I bet she won't make the same mistake twice. U/Ok-Material6418, who is that coworker, wrote to r/AmItheA**hole, where they were presumably feeling a bit guilty. As they explained, they were in the middle of trying to hire candidates for a job, and found a friend of a friend to have an interview. 

But the red flags quickly began waving for this OP. They explained that the candidate began DMing them, and sharing some pretty concerning information. In the comments, people agreed with the OP's judgement here. After all, why would you want to hire someone who is already showing major signs that they're going to be a short-term employee?
