Hiring manager calls night-shift worker in the middle of sleeping at 12pm: 'I know they’re going to show me the same job vacancy I didn’t accept before because of too low wage'

When you work at night, everything is the opposite. You sleep during the day and work during the night. Simple enough, but it gets complicated when you're trying to do business with the outside world. The rest of us tend to operate on a work during the day, sleep during the night schedule. We don't often stop to think about our friends who are night owls and how we might better help them orient their lives. We could be doing more to make sure we don't interrupt their schedules. If you have someone in your life who works nights, you know this.

It's one thing if you don't know someone's schedule and you accidentally interrupt it. It's a whole other level of disrespect to intentionally interrupt someone's sleep just because you think your problem is more important. That's what happened in this story. A hiring manager purposefully disregarded a prospective employee's sleep schedule. Some hiring managers think they're the most important people in the world. When you're looking for a job, they might seem like the most important people, but they by no means actually are.
