Man Walks Out Of Interview Over 15 Minutes Delay, Here's How Internet Reacted

"At 2:45, I just walked out and left. 15 minutes. I know our industry, and there's no good reason for me to wait more than a few minutes," wrote the Reddit user.

While appearing for a job interview, punctuality and professionalism are the two qualities a person is expected to posses. But what happens when the interviewer itself is late? A person who went to appear in an interview shared a story of being in a similar situation and walking out before the interview could be held. He took to Reddit to share his experience which has now gone viral and sparked a debate whether what he did was right or wrong.

"I walked in the front door of the facility at 2:30 today, exactly when I was due to meet the director in the front lobby. I spoke with an employee who paged him, and I was told that he'd be right over "in just a minute," he explained.

"At 2:45, I just walked out and left. 15 minutes. I know our industry, and there's no good reason for me to wait more than a few minutes. All I see is a giant red flag waving: "This company is testing your patience because they want to be sure that the candidate is desperate because they're going to abuse them," he further said.

Since being shared, the post has received 30k upvotes.

"The interview for my current position started about 30 minutes late, but it was communicated to me immediately when I got there that there was an issue being worked on. So I waited in the lounge and eventually got to my interview. The key point was that someone explained to me what was happening right away instead of just having me sit there," commented one user.

"Idk if that's why they had you waiting. But thats good on you for leaving. Your time should definitely be respected," wrote another user.

"But if you were 15 minutes late at the job, you’d get docked on your pay or reprimanded," commented a third.
