At no point did John mention we're not currently hiring.
One of the interviewees was a young woman who chatted with me while she was waiting, and she said she's a single mother who had to get a last minute babysitter so she could make the interview.
So not only is she not getting hired for this job, it cost her money to show up.
Another was an older man, and when I walked him out, he asked, do you think a fossil like me has any shot?
I almost burst into tears, but Fury won out.
I told him, there is no job.
I'm sorry they lied to you.
This company thinks nothing of wasting your time.
He looked shocked and walked away.
Someone must have heard me because I got called into John's office where he proceeded to yell at me.
Apparently he's fine with lying to people's faces, but not with people knowing about it.
He threatened to fire me and I said to do it because I can't go along with this.
You're getting people's hopes up for no reason.
John argued that the jobs could be real in the future and it was helping him lead the team.
So that made it okay.
Reason number two, why I might be the asshole.
I quit on the spot.
No notice.
I have a second job, so I'll be okay.
But John said to forget about a reference.
