Job candidate feels confident during job interview, despite CEO arriving 15 minutes late, until he realizes, through a phone notification, that the CEO was simultaneously reposting the same job offer online while on their call: 'Seriously, the audacity'

This is genuinely one of the most hilariously outrageous office-life stories we've heard all week. We're just surprised this job candidate managed to keep quiet after what happened…Sorry, let us go back to the beginning!

This potential employee had been locked in and ready to ace his job interview. Despite the initial disappointment of the CEO being fifteen minutes late to the interview, he kept his optimism high. He sold himself, discussed his skills, and even cracked a perfectly-timed joke or two…and just as he's convinced himself that he's crushing the interview, he noticed his phone light up in the corner of his eye. What was it you ask? Well, in minus 2 seconds, he managed to gather that the CEO had reposted the job offer online, asking others to share the link, whilst the interview was still happening!

He couldn't believe his eyes! The audacity…and the cherry on top? The CEO posted it on a networking group that the candidate runs! Now that's what you call a double-whammy. If we were in his position, we're not sure we'd be able to be so polite. We'd probably pick up our phones during the interview and reply to the message right then and there. Perhaps that would teach the CEO to refrain from rejecting someone publicly before delivering the disappointing news directly.

Now this candidate debates if staying quiet was the right decision, or if confrontation of this CEO's disrespectful actions would have been the best path…Sometimes, certain situations aren't worth giving energy to if the outcome is unshakable, however, there are moments in life when people need to be taught how to treat others, no matter their job title.

The CEO was 15 minutes late for my interview, then asked me to post the job ad in my group while we were still on the call.
