[quote=Anonymous]A company approached me via LinkedIn about an open position and I agreed to a phone interview. We scheduled it for 10:30 this morning. At 10:45 I hadn't heard from the guy so I emailed to ask if he wanted to reschedule. He replied "Sorry for the delay, will call in 15 min." Did not call me until 11:30 and then briefly said "Sorry, got caught up in meetings" and then launched right into the interview.

My guess is he felt entitled to do this because I'm currently home on maternity leave and therefore don't have any work meetings to work around. Maternity leave or no, I can't imagine being so disrespectful of someone else's time, nor can I imagine any hiring manager at my current company (which, FWIW, is very male-dominated) being so cavalier about an interview start time. He seemed like a nice enough guy once the interview got started and I'm still somewhat interested in the position, but this seems like a huge red flag to me.

Do you work for an organization where something like this would fly? If so, is it symptomatic of a culture of entitled jerks and/or lack of respect for employees' time? [/quote]
