Have you ever had a great job opportunity that you thought was going to be totally solid and then, BAM, something happens that makes you decline that job without another thought?

It definitely happens from time to time!

And at the end of the day, you gotta do what you gotta do if you get a bad feeling about a job.

Check out what this person had to say and see if it reminds you of any of your work experiences.

Had a job offer today, I declined because of their actions.

“Today I went for an interview at a warehouse, the interview time was 13:30.

I arrived 5 minutes early, and had seen eight other potential candidates, that had already been waiting since 13:00 for their interview. Then at 14:00 about another 7 people arrived.

I was eventually interviewed at 14:45. One hour and fifteen minutes after the agreed time slot.

So I entertain the interview and did well, they offered me a position and I respectfully declined, to which they asked me why.

I said if you can’t even value a potential candidates time when they don’t work for the company yet, then what will working for you be like, it’s disrespectful to have us all waiting that long and shows poor time management skills from yourselfs.

Then wished them luck with the rest of the applicants and left.

Can you imagine if I arrived to an interview late and said ahh sorry it’s been a crazy morning…”

And here’s how folks reacted on Reddit.
