I came into work today to see that there had been an interview earlier in the day. I don't think much of it. Not sure why we're hiring since my manager has implied that they can barely afford to pay existing staff, but whatever.
Later in the evening, my boss, the owner comes in. He asks to talk for a minute and I say sure. He says did you know I'm hiring right now? I say yes, I heard there was an interview today. He's like yeah, and I saw your resume on Indeed and that it was updated a couple weeks ago.
Apparently, my resume was suggested to him by Indeed because of key words and phrases or something. I say yes, it has been three years since I updated and so I did so, considering I have much more experience and skills now, but I'm not looking or applying (Which is a lie and a truth. I was close to quitting at the time and started looking, but negotiated a change in my schedule that made my job tolerable enough to stick around a little longer, at least through the season.)
He starts to get a really condescending tone and says “I don't know why you would need to update your resume if you're not applying.” He clearly doesn't believe me. I think it's pretty normal. My brother does the same thing. It's just something you do as you gain experience, or at least that's what I thought. Feel free to let me know if I'm wrong about that.
Either way, I have every right to do it. But I could tell he thought I was in the wrong. In fact, he said “I feel like I found my partner on a dating website.” Am I crazy or is that highly inappropriate? Not to mention unprofessional. He also asked me if any employers had reached out to me, which is none of his business. And when I said my brother said I should keep it up to date because he is protective of me and always wants to help me, he snarked “Yeah, he wants to help you find another job.” What a manchild. I can't wait to leave. Any insight and advice is welcome.
