I posted a screenshot there of a potential employer getting short with me when I told him I had another interview to honor after he offered me the job less than 24 hours after talking with him.
The people over at r/mildlyinfuriating are 'educating' me on how that's wrong and not nice, and I should've just not told him about the other prospect. Mind you, he made sure to let me know that another person was being considered for the position, as well. According to them, it's disrespectful and a waste of his time to tell him he's not my only option. Hell, I even told him during the interview that I'd like some time to think on it, anyway. They also learned me on the fact that saying you're interested in a job is the exact same as “I'll take the job”. Uh, if I wasn't interested in the job, then why am I applying/interviewing?
I'm just trying to figure out where I owe him anything? The job was not a 'hire on-site' job, or if it was, that wasn't conveyed to me. So, on what planet is it wrong to be open and up front? The reason I'm looking for a new job is because my current one lacks just that: openness and communication.
