Job candidate walks out of interview after waiting 45 minutes for manager to arrive, gets called out for being unprofessional: ‘Sorry, employment is a two-way street’

Every job candidate out there should approach interviews with the mentality that employers need employees just as much as employees need employment, it is a two-way street. The interview process is a test for the employer no less than it is for the candidate, as they both are there to see if the place of work could be a match. There is no reason an employer should not treat their candidates with as much respect as they expect to be treated themselves.

Which is why I think the job candidate in this Reddit story did the right thing. After arriving at a job interview with a manager at a grocery store, the candidate was forced to wait 45 minutes for the manager to arrive. Even after those 45 minutes, nobody came up to them or told them why they had to wait that long, so the candidate simply decided to leave. Later, when they discussed the issue with their family, they were told that leaving was extremely unprofessional.
