I applied for a sales management position at a marketing agency. I have plenty of experience in sales and leadership, but none in marketing. However, it’s an intangible service just like insurance, and it is a very similar sale. The boss called me back about the management position and we set up an interview, but when I get there he tells me that no one starts as a manager but everyone can work their way up and prove themselves. I have had the “management/promotion dream” dangled in front of my face at shitty corporations many a time, and the fact that he misled me from the beginning of the application process but then proceeded to sell me a dream is a huge red flag for me. He just called me back for a second interview, but I am not sure how to proceed. Should I politely decline? Should I call…

Seriously, I have been working for 18 years and I have never heard of it. I'm seeing multiple posts of people complaining they only got donuts or whatever but were there any actual people expecting something else? Take your candy or coupons or whatever cheap thing they left in the break room but if you sincerely expected to be appreciated you need to check back in to the real world.

So I worked for a company producing marijuana edibles for a while. It was me and 2 other people that I considered my bosses. The whole time I worked my ass of they never lifted a finger to help. I would work 50+ hours some weeks, I came home early from vacations to work, was never given any PTO. On top of all of this I was paid 24k a year BEFORE TAXES. They both told me at my age that should be plenty or I wasn’t managing my money right. After about a year I realized I was their cash cow. They even outsourced to a company’s to sell their products for them. All they did was make invoices and that’s it. We’ll flash forward a little bit and I start working with another company under the same building. Well the company I was working for wasn’t doing well…
