Encountered a sexist female recruiter for the first time in my life…

Went to an interview for a position in sales. 10 mins in and the she says: “Your profile is interesting but we only hire women because most men are mamas' boys so they don't work as hard as single mothers” I was like WTF.

  • “We don't pay overtime because our salary is higher than average. Are you okay with that given the fact overtime is required 2-3 times a week?”

  • “Workers generally don't take their lunch time here. You'll see some eating at their desk just to save time”

  • “Your commission are paid the next month. But if your performance for the next month drop, the commission from your previous month takes a cut”
