‘They told me about their severance packages in the first interview’: Employees Share Most Entertaining Job Interview Stories

Ding, ding… Alarm bells go off in my head anytime I hear the phrase, 'Though there are set hours, most employees stay extra so to show they're committed to this job'. Another big red flag is when the interviewer seems disinterested or unprepared. If they haven't looked over my resume, or if they're asking basic questions they should already know the answers (again, read my resume). Sometimes the interviewer doesn't really provide clear information regarding a role, and that just makes me think that it's a 'wear a lot of hats, but get minimum wage' kind of situation.

Employees banded together in a Reddit thread to share their own 'Red flag' job interview stories that had them scratching their heads and walking out feeling apprehensive about going forward. From working on weekends without pay to being expected to do overtime (again, without pay), employer's expectations are wild.

Afterward, check out this manager who kicked a worker off their shift for not adhering to the company dress code.
