This guy from Piper Companies wanted to interview me at 13:00 but he didn’t show up at 13:04 so I emailed him to ask if he needed to cancel and he said he was just finishing a previous call and he’d be on in “one or two minutes”. As 5, then 10, then 15 more minutes passed I began to consider emailing him again saying it’s not polite to let someone’s call run this long into a scheduled call with someone else, but I was afraid of hurting my chances of getting hired, but after waiting 26 minutes I decided fuck it and sent it to him. Waited 4 more minutes and gave up. If you can’t respect my time, why should I bother with you? Probably would’ve rejected me anyway.
This isn’t the first time I’ve had potential employers or recruiters miss the time they scheduled but it’s the first time it was confirmed to be out of impoliteness rather than forgetfulness.
Look at the bright side, looks like you avoid a shity company.
Ugh. Most recruiters are terrible at their jobs.
Honestly you dodged a bullet. This is probably very common at that company and you’d likely be expected to fill in every single time this happened as the new person.
You did the right thing. Wasting the employee’s time is an obvious red flag
