The best thing one can say in an interveiw.

The best thing one can say in an interveiw. 

I called the woman interviewing me “Tina”. Her name was not Tina. I did this on purpose.

I was being interviewed for an IT position with a very high end resort. From the moment I started interacting with this woman, I knew I wasn’t going to take the job even if it was offered. She was that unpleasant.

However, being the professional that I am, I figured I should at least complete the interview.

That was before she started talking down about her employees as if they were her personal servants. She was elitist beyond belief. She outright laughed in my face when I told her I had experience dealing with wealthy people. She generally made no effort to hide her disdain for “poor people” and told me that I would not be permitted to ever talk to the clients.

It was at some point during this conversation that I had Ron Swanson running through my head

The woman in question was named Toni, but by the time she was done with my interview, I wanted to call her Satan.

So, at the end of my interview, I stood up, reached out my hand and said “Thank you for the interview, Tina. I’ll see myself out.”

I thought her face was going to explode. HOW DARE THIS PEASANT CALL ME BY THE WRONG NAME!!!!

Yeah, I nuked that bridge from orbit, but I have absolutely no desire to work for a person like that, nor anyone who would associate with her.
