That's a story from a couple months back when I used to work at a corporate hellhole in the pharmaceutical industry.
I was a technician and applied for an analyst position within the same company/site I was working at. After a week, I get an email from HR with my interview date and time, which was more than a month ahead of time.
I immediatly warn both my supervisor and the person in charge of scheduling that I would need to be available for an hour on that given date for an interview. They both confirmed it was okay and marked it in the schedule as a “meeting”.
Fast forward to the morning of the day of the interview, and my supervisor tells me that the workload is too high for that day and that I -have- to cancel my “meeting”. I respond by telling him it's not a meeting, but an interview, and that both he and the scheduler gave me the okay 5 weeks ago. He goes “Okay, let me see what I can do” and leaves.
Not 5 minutes later, I get CCed on an email that my boss sent to HR saying: “Khriss1313 is not available for his interview today, please cancel it”. That fucking bastard did not even tell hime it was his fault, and I looked like a fucking idiot trying to explained what happened while staying profesionnal.
I still got to reschedules the interview after talking with HR, but I chose to quit anyway since I tought that a company where this kind a disrespect toward employees is not worth my time.
