I went for an interview this morning, first big red flag was the place being empty at a time when everything nearby was packed. Second red flag was the owner telling me I was being hired to replace their full-time staff member but “we haven’t told her yet cause we don’t like her, so you’ll have to pretend to be my cousin’s girlfriend so she doesn’t figure it out while you’re learning everything here”. Third red flag was being told none of the other staff speak English, but “you can just call me if I’m not here so I can translate between you”.
The woman interviewing me spent a solid 10 minutes telling me all the reasons she hates her employee, none of which had anything to do with her job performance, and another ten minutes venting about how much work it was to convince her “rich husband” to let her run the business.
I wrapped it up as fast as I could before I had to start charging for the free therapy session and while I was leaving, she told me “I’ll see you here at 9:00 Tuesday to start”……yeah that’s not happening.
Trying to decide if it would be incredibly petty to go back during the week and warn their full-time employee of what they’re doing. 🤔
