'I do not want to work for someone like you': Job candidate walks out mid-interview after boss shouts at another employee

Sometimes, it's hard to tell as an interview candidate if you're potentially stepping into a toxic work environment. People tend to present the most performative versions of themselves when they're interviewing someone. Everyone seems to be extra smiley and people only seem to be talking in euphemisms. Direct answers to direct questions are hard to come by during the interview process unless you force their hand. And because everyone's being the best versions of themselves, it can be difficult to detect any and all red flags.

However, other times, the signs are right there in front of you. That's certainly what this candidate saw after their messy interview for a retail position, which was shared online via this Reddit thread. Not only was the candidate completely in the right, but also the manager conducting the interview was entirely responsible for how this all went wrong. Essentially, she was interrupted by another employee, which set the manager off immediately. Thankfully, OP had enough common sense to realize right then at that moment that this would not be a good fit. In fact, it shouldn't be a good fit for anyone.
