Job candidate arrives early for 10:00 AM interview, manager shows up 10 minutes late and blames it on the candidate: 'I don't know if I want to interview someone who's late'

Don't you just love it when an employer reframes their own mistake as if it's your fault?

This job candidate arrived at the retail store where he was going to be interviewed five minutes before opening. He was meant to be interviewed right at 10:00 AM sharp. This was confirmed via email. When he arrived there, it looked like no one was inside, so he waited on a bench right next to the front door for several minutes.

By 10:02 AM, nobody else appeared. The candidate took another look at who was there, and finally, an employee let them in. By the time the manager showed up, it had been an additional 10 minutes. That's when the manager showed her true colors. 

She proceeded to blame the delay in the interview start time on the candidate for not being inside at 10:00 AM despite the fact that no one was there to let them in… not even the manager herself. Keep scrolling below for the full story and to find out what happened when the candidate reported the incident to corporate!
