Unemployment is preferable over dealing with that moron

While I'm not sure about the whole take in this comment, I can't help but feel like that interview was planned that way. 30 min late? Another person just walks in? Outrageously personal and tragic stories? It just seems a little over the top.

Not only is the interviewer not here but the office is locked and I'm outside waiting without a coat because I wore a blazer. I called at 11:55 to say I was here and he said he was running an errand and would be back in 5. That was 18 mins ago. Do I just leave at some point? I drove 45 mins to be here.


OP, I hope you left. That is the sign of a company that its disorganized and will not be a good place to work.

This is racist. Don't pat yourself in the back for being woke. It's hard to be more racist than saying certain cultures just can't be timely.
