TLDR: the person interviewing me made an abrasive comment about how I didn’t have a job lined up when I quit my other.
I left my previous job about two weeks ago. It was toxic, and draining to my mental health. I had initially put in a four week notice, but I could not handle longer than a two week. I quit without having another job lined up and I was okay with that. I’ve been interviewing nonstop for the last two weeks and today I had one that just didn’t sit well with me. The interviewer actually said “wow it was pretty brave of you to quit a job without another lined up.” First of all, **** you. Second of all, you don’t even know me. I gracefully responded “well I’m a single mother so I’m really good at managing money.” Looking back it didn’t even warrant a response, or I should have had a better one. Am I going to work for your company? Absolutely not. insert eye roll here
