“I applied to a position out of state and was offered the position during the phone interview. When asked when I could start, I replied two weeks but stated I couldn’t accept without knowing how much it paid and having that in an official offer letter/email. This dude lost his shit and said all huffy and puffy: ‘Well, I mean, I don’t have the numbers right in front of me, but I guess if you have to know I can get that for you.’ I said yes, I have to know. He said he’d call back. He never did.” —u/Krushed_Groove “Yup, I worked in a call center as technical support. They really forced us to make sales our priority. One time, I spent 15 minutes on a call explaining to some old lady, step by step, how to fix something on her phone. She was really thankful, and I felt good about helping her. I ended the call, and my team leader came over to chew me out because I wasted too much time on that call and didn’t even try to sell her anything. That was the moment I realized, ‘Man, fuck this job.’” —u/Slish753 “Or, some variety of how often they take a vacation, especially for places with ‘unlimited’ vacation. I interviewed at such a company once, and my interviewer said he never took off and was talking about a coworker who takes off frequently in an annoyed tone.” —u/acid-runner
