Unsympathetic job recruiter learns valuable lesson after one of the interviewees he belittled lands a senior position and gets him fired: ‘I’m glad he has the life he deserves.’

"I ended my response by saying that I would not want any of our candidates to have the experience I did and would not want my organization to be represented in a callous and unprofessional manner."

There is a reason you hear "don't burn bridges" as sage professional advice. You never know who you are going to run into again when working in any professional field. Sometimes that can be difficult, because the workplace is so unbearable. But if you take the high road, it might just help you later on in life. If you take the low road, well, that might just come back around again in your lifetime and take you even lower… 

Listen, I'm all about people facing the consequences of their actions. How can anyone learn if they do not face them? But that does not mean that you are the one responsible for making them learn this lesson. Sometimes you need to know when to just walk away gracefully. This is initially what this woman did, but then karma gave her a chance to be the leader of justice, and, of course, she took it. 

I have been on the job hunt before, and it's not pretty and can truly make your self-worth plummet. Interview after interview with nobody reaching back out can make you truly believe that something is wrong with you; that maybe you are a talentless human in society. But don't let the man get you down! Just keep working hard and being kind, and you'll be fine. 

This woman was working hard, but one job recruiter in particular really put her down. She was in tears at the end of the conversation. She thought she was doomed. But, soon after, she landed a much better job with a greater pay increase and title. Then the company that this recruiter worked for reached out to her to hopefully gain her as a new client. She needed to hire employees, but decided not to subjugate any of her employees to that upsetting recruiter. She let that company know the truth and even attached old emails from that disrespectful recruiter. 

Soon after that, she saw that the man was looking for a new job… Karma can come in many forms, bestie.
