I was leaving a terrible job after 5 years of mental health decline, and was ready to take literally any job while giving up a decent salary since my wife had recently received a big promotion.
I found a job listing for a medical supply company that paid a little above minimum wage, and was full time. I thought that sounds easy, I have certs in the HIT field that I've never used, maybe it will come in handy. I applied and was offered an interview the next day at 9:00am. It was a Saturday – and I noticed the office was closed on Saturdays. I asked if there would be a conflict and was assured there wouldn't be.
The next morning, I dress up, thinking I was looking sharp. I arrive about 15 minutes early and notice there are no cars in the parking lot. I try to open the door and its locked. I wait around in my car parked directly in front of the office door parking spot… At this point it is 9:05 and I've waited 20 minutes. I call the office number, which has an option to connect to an on call employee. I select that option, I explain to the girl I had an interview at 9:00am and ask for the boss direct phone number. She wouldn't give it to me but said she would call him.
I wait for another 10 minutes, but had already decided fuck this job, and I was gonna waste some of their time. At about 9:20 a Lincoln Navigator fliess into the parking lot, parks all crooked and a guy in gym shorts jumps out… He doesn't even acknowledge me sitting in my car right in front of the door. He unlocks the office door and walks in… Fuck this guy… Fuck this job…
I sit there for another 3 or so minutes, and he comes out and gives me a wave to come in and I give him the hold on
one minute hand signal, he walks back inside…. I just sit and wait. After about 3 minutes of me sitting there he comes back out and gives me another come in wave with a frustrated look on his face. Still… fuck this guy. I got time. He comes out again a very short time later and starts walking towards my car window.
I put my car into reverse, give him the universal fuck you hand signal and drive off… Enjoy your Saturday fucker. If you don't value my time the first time I meet you, I cant imagine what working for you is like.
TLDR: Interview scheduled on a day the office was closed. I show up and no one is there. Boss shows up 20 minutes late. I make him wait 10 minutes for me, flip him off and drive off.
