There are levels to that suck though

And sometimes it's not just corporate suck. I've literally had the CIO of a construction contractor berate me on the phone before I had started. Needless to say I didn't take their offer

Name and shame. And publish your real name while you're at it.

Haha. I really want to do the first part, but relatively local to my region. I'd rather not give that out right now :\

Same. Got screamed at before the interview. don't know why I even bothered going, maybe just curious how fucked up the place would be.

Left them a bad Google maps review which was kinda fun since they had zero reviews before I left one. They left a screaming reply to it hahah

What happened that they screamed at you even before an interview?

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Was a long time ago but I remember it was something small like I had used my old snail mail address on my resume vs my cover-letter.

But hey they bought me lunch so it wasn't a total lost and I got to see all the people running the place act like total assholes to each other. So dinner and a show.
