Job candidate calls out hiring manager for overly excessive interview process, withdraws application in savage email: 'Don't let potential employers waste your time'

If a potential employer is stringing you along during the application process, nine times out of ten, they will be a bad manager. If for whatever reason you feel targeted by that statement, perhaps it's time to rethink how you go about your hiring process. Of course, we understand that there are certain specific skills you might be looking for and you want to make sure your candidates are serious about the position. However, this is really something you can be crystal clear about from the get-go and during the first or second interview rounds. If you're still testing someone's skills by interview four or five, then let's be clear: it's not that you're unsure whether or not the candidate is the proper fit, but rather that you're completely unsure of what you want.

This thread was posted to Reddit by u/JCarr110, who thankfully was already employed during this interview process and was in a privileged enough position to be able to withdraw his application and confront his potential new employer as to why. We understand that not everyone will feel comfortable turning down a potential opportunity like that or being so candid to the hiring manager. That being said, someone had to be this upfront. If not now, when, am I right?
