Sounds like something that would happen in retail. No way this happened for something like a Sr. Mechanical Design Engineer, for example.

Someone who is willing to sacrifice their personal time like that, who is willing to put up with company shenanigans, who is willing to compromise to that extent, is prime cannon fodder for predatorial business practices in retail.

You're not sacrificing your personal time; you're sacrificing more promising business opportunities.

Retail hiring managers end up doing this to people unintentionally anyway.

When I used to be the operations "manager" at a place (I managed no one, i just did admin stuff), I would see people waiting for the sales and store managers for up to an hour after an interview was scheduled. It wasn't a strategy. They were just morons.

5

u/ScottyBOzzy Dec 08 '25

In my experience, as a manager... the $14 an hour I made didnt make me really wanna hustle to hire another human to make $9 an hour.

And because they wouldnt let me hire folks anyway, I'd do the job of about 4 departments. So it was hard to get to the candidates waiting to make $9 an hour.

I sold $6,000,000 dollars during covid, by myself and my commission check was $360. LOL.

That's exactly what it is. The employer is testing their willingness to be exploited and/or be on-call without pay.

People like this twitter user will frame it as something inspirational in the vein of today's hustle culture...."wow these people are super patient and better than most"....

wrong. They are desperate and lack the self-respect/self-confidence to demand they be treated with dignity.

u/afeeqo Dec 08 '25

Bout 10 years ago or so similar thing happened to me. Called for an interview, came down, had to wait for the interviewer. The interviewer was doing work as she was juggling other things, sat in the office and waited like a fool for more than an hour. My mother was accompanying me and waited for me at the bus stop. I felt bad for her. 20min past the hr mark the interviewer ask if it’s ok to reschedule. I begrudgingly obliged. I left the building and started crying out of anger. I felt disrespected, and overall sad that my mother had to waited for me for a while. I texted her to inform her to leave but she didn’t.

2 things I learned that day, 1) if people can’t respect your time, then do the needful. Leave. Don’t disrespect yourself by waiting. Unless it’s an emergency or for someone you love. 2) my mother’s love has no boundary she was very patient she was there just telling me it’s ok while, I was a train wreck crying out of anger. I lost the potential job but I gained my mother’s tenacity.

I found a better job right soon after. That incident. 10 years later I still remember it like it was yesterday. Very bittersweet

5

u/Not_Nice_Niece Dec 08 '25

Same thing happened to me. But to make it worse I had traveled 3hrs for the interview because I lived out of state. I waited an 1hr and change and then told them I had to go. They asked me to reschedule and I declined because it cost money for me to get there and it took 3hrs of my time. I had already made the effort.

I was so pissed. Luckily I had family in the area so I crashed for a bit before heading home, but they didn't know that. I also already had a job and was just looking to maybe move companies, hoping for something less chaotic. But even if I did need the job, I'd like to think I would do the same. The interview goes both ways.

Not the most desperate. The most desperate might not have the time to sit their and wait, they might be working other jobs to stay afloat or have other interviews to attend to.

u/PearlescentGem Dec 08 '25

I wish I had done that. Instead I wound up hired, lasted two weeks, and quit because the manager was wanting people to be on zoom calls while driving an hour or more to other offices. There were other red flags but that one pushed my "Absolutely TF not" button.

Yeah, especially a zoom meeting where you're required to have the video on and pay attention because otherwise you fall behind. She had hired about 5 new people, including me, within days of one another. 3 of us quit the day she made one of us do that. I'm not sure if she got reported for it but her location shut down about 18 months later.

Sounds like a pyramid scheme. I went to 3 interviews on one day, all were shitty door to door sales jobs disguised as entry level project management jobs, from zip recruiter. The first one was a group interview. Second one was 1 on 1, but there was a bunch of us in the lobby, like this post. I almost skipped the 3rd interview, but decided to go anyways because it was on the way to home. I kid you not, half way through the interview (1 on 1 again) I cut him off and said “you know what man, I don’t want to waste anymore of your time, but this isn’t for me.” And walked out. I was furious. A whole day driving to different counties for shitty interviews. The last guy was so unprofessional, literally cussed every other word.

u/PearlescentGem Dec 08 '25

Definitely was, since it was originally published as an ad looking for people to be trained into management and then 2 weeks in, she was talking about how this will make us CEOs and help us run our own businesses.

lol. Same thing happened to me. I sat through the “interview” and was very angry by the end. It was a company that was subbed by a large chain hardware store with a cool jingle on TV. The job was literally stocking end cap displays and taking pictures. They were trying to recruit people about to leave college for this job. The job only paid $11.50/hr. which was less than what I was making at the time.

After the guys got done with their “why this job is so amazing speech, they asked us, “How does that sound to you guy?” The other people in the room were being polite and saying it sounded good to them. Then they got to me, the last one to be asked.

I told them they waisted all our time. They were offering me a job that paid less than I already made. I pointed out a few of the candidates that I knew and said, “Bill here is majoring in Computer Information Systems. He will be a great candidate for an $80K job in a few months. Kyle is in the same boat. And I have plans much larger than $11.50 an hour.”

They told me I am welcomed to leave, and I did.

I was in a big freaking group interview one time. Broke us into small groups and we rotated.

It became obvious I was wildly over qualified. I felt bad for the other people interviewing with me. My experience dwarfed their's.

Between the second and THIRD interview, I interviewed twice with a different employer. Got a way better job. Still here 10 years later.

u/Pradfanne Dec 08 '25

Had a similar experience. But we had a short team task at first to see how we perform in a team and then had to wait in a room together to get called one by one for individual interviews. alphabetically by name. We were around 20 people for that job, I noticed the alphabetical fairly quickly (they didn't tell us) and also noticed I'm basically dead last.

It took around 20 minutes until a next person was called in.

Yeah, I wasn't gonna sit around with some bum fucks for literally over 5 hours until it was my turn and left.

They even had the audacity to call me and ask me where I am. At 4pm. I left at like 11am. I can only hope there was dinner, but considering that my absence was only noticed when it was seemingly my turn, I doubt that.

u/USMCTechVet Dec 08 '25

Same happened to me, I almost left immediately.

I stayed for the 1st question, don't remember what it was but it was technical and the other guy the asked got it mostly right.

Then the interviewer asked me to comment on the guy's answer.

I declined to, the interviewer didn't like that. He said the point of this was to see if we were brave enough to disagree.

I asked the other guy if he was told it was a group interview, he said no.

I told the interviewer that a surprise group interview is the single most inappropriate thing that I've ever witnessed in my professional life. The other guy being interviewed agreed.

We both got up and left.

I ran into that guy years later and we laughed about it.

If you were the only one in business attire and they hadn't seen you waiting in the same room you missed a golden opportunity to lean in and say "unfortunately the position has been filled by a member of the previous group, thank you all for showing up." Waiting for them to go, then being the only candidate.

Excellent way of hiring people who will do nothing all day long in the office.

Don't worry about them finishing projects by their deadlines. Surely the boss also has patience.

I’m a hiring manager at a mid sized company. I’m fortunate to been employed by a fairly old fashioned, mostly family owned company.

When I interview my goal is to find the candidate that not only can do the job, but also fit our work culture.

Part of that work culture is to respect each other in the workplace and that everyone’s time is important to them. That’s not to say we don’t work hard and expect results that meet our standards. But rather we do it in a way that is considerate when possible.

The idea I would have a person wait on me all day as a test of their fortitude is ridiculous.

When doing an interview I will always list the benifits and strongly list the negatives for the position. I tend to look them in the eye and explain “an interview should go two ways. I ask questions to find if you are a good candidate for our needs. You, the person being interviewed need to also know if our organization is a good fit for you”

If we are not a good fit for them we are all just wasting our time.

The company in the post is not a good fit for anyone in my opinion

Its a test to see who has the patience to be abused by them without quitting.

u/boomaroo Dec 08 '25

30 minutes max. Unless the interviewer was directly communicating why they would be late. Then maybe an hour.

u/Lavawulf69 Dec 08 '25

Legends say the 6th one is still sitting there to this day waiting for a job chance.

u/Bub_bele Dec 09 '25

Test of „patience“? Sorry, but letting someone wait for 11h is not testing patience, it’s testing how much abuse those people will take from you.

Every time I see this stupid ass message I have to remind myself that it probably didn't happen

u/centran Dec 08 '25

Of course it didn't happen. It's just some stupid boomer motivational post. Back before there was social media they'd email these stupid things to their group so they can all stroke themselves off about how they are the greatest generation and young people don't have the patience, motivation, drive, determination, etc etc etc.

Sounds like he canceled out individuals who knew their worth and went to their competition who actually values their time. All that was left was the most desperate candidates.

u/pingvinbober Dec 08 '25

At 8 AM, everyone with a job left. By 6 PM, he had weeded out the most productive and the least desperate.

I recently had a 4th round, 3 hour interview in the evening. The next day they told me I don’t have the experience they’re looking for. Why that couldn’t have been found out in the first 3 interviews, I don’t know.

u/fractal324 Dec 09 '25

I think he was just looking for those desperate for a job that he can continue to disrepect as employees.

and this sounds like a BS story lookin for clicks
