Hiring manager expects employee to beg for the job, employee refuses, manager promises to ensure the candidate never works in the industry again

The business world is not always kind. In order to attract the attention of potential employers, you must not only stand out from the competition but also outperform every other application seeking the exact same position. In other words, your only options are to play and win the corporate game or to fail horribly. To put it plainly, the game is tedious and never-ending.

An employee who was taken aback is described in the story below. The original poster (OP) has been actively participating in the business game for some time now. So when a potential employer showed interest in his experience and qualifications, he thought he owed it to himself to at least hear what they had to say. However, following a brief conversation with the hiring manager, OP came to the conclusion that he wouldn't be a good fit and politely declined. Despite this, rather than receiving OP's rejection with grace, the recruiting manager took it personally and vowed to make his career as challenging as possible.

Having said that, be sure to read the story below if you're interested in learning more about what was actually said! Additionally, after reading the story, don't forget to read the one about the hotel guest who boasts of always getting his way and demands a complete refund following an enjoyable stay!
