'None of your candidates enjoy it': Candidate declines one way interview as part of job screening process, leading to dispute with HR

One fed-up candidate who had the privilege of job searching while they still had a job snapped back at an HR representative over text after discovering that a 'one-way interview' was part of the screening process. What exactly is a one-way interview? Well, it can vary but it's usually a brief video recording that job candidates send potential employers to aid them in their screening process. You typically answer a few pre-selected interview questions. Awkward, right? Demeaning almost.

This candidate was not having it… They promptly told HR that they should reconsider this process as it was degrading, to which HR replied that many of their candidates enjoyed it! Yeah right. People who need a job will say anything… I mean, if you're left with two choices, one being telling the truth and two being putting food on the table, it's a no-brainer.

Next up is a story about a micromanaging CEO who flip-flopped between calling an employee a remote worker and an on-site worker. It led to a hilarious dispute where the employee refused to come to work.
