They're looking for the most desperate candidate. They want someone who they know they can really fuck over and treat like shit and still expect them to show up the next day, someone who will work for minimum wage and no benefits.
Yeah they're the desperate ones that will work from the recovery room after having surgery, or skip the birth of their child for a review of a side deck that no one will read.
But, given the nature of this sub, it's a BS story anyway from a nitwit promoting subservient lapdog employee hustle culture. Probably paid by CEOs to brainwash the weak minded.
You act like that doesn't work both ways. That guy just hired the two idiots who will follow orders to the letter even if they don't make sense and that comes out of his pocket.
Yeah but they were dumb/desperate enough to stay so the boss can blame them for all screw ups and that probably matters more to a person like that than money saved.
He can blame them all he/she wants. Mistakes and incompetence doesn't make money. He'll be right back to his idiotic hiring methods in a month with nothing to show for it.
It not like the gaps in productivity are going to suddenly disappear before or after these two are hired/fired too. If he's a shit manager who needs to blame his mistakes on someone else, those mistakes are always going to be present. Eventually, the common denominator is going to become apparent.
If they don’t call me back in for a replacement interview and at least apologise for not being on time the first time round, then I just dodged a bullet by not working for that company.
Pretty much, i may give some leeway if someone tells me "So and so knows you are here, is sorry, will be here shortly" but "some leeway" ends at 20 minutes tops.
Even if this was true, that’s a job you do not want. If they are doing this bullshit before they’ve even hired you. They are going to treat you 1000x worse once you’re an employee.
This actually sort of happened decades ago when I worked at Best Buy. A kid came in for an interview and the hiring manager was slammed so he asked the kid to wait in our break room for a bit. Probably 19,20. Wearing a full suit and tie. He sat in that break room for 6 hours waiting for the manager who forgot, and went home. Getting ready to close the store I walked in and was like "uh who are you?" He explained, I apologized and said "yeah you're hired, go get some sleep.".
An interview goes both ways. The interviewer is seeing if I am a good fit for the company and I am seeing if a company is a good fit for me. I value direct and honest communication, clear direction, and mutual respect. A company that would leave me sitting for 11 hours as some sort of “test” while not telling me what is going on is not a company I would want to work for as that does not fit with what I value in an employer.
Yes, this is definitely what all recruiters look for in an applicant: patience. Not relevant experience or education or applicable skills, just whether or not you are desperate enough to wait around for 11 hours. People who say shit like this, are apart of the we "are a family" (that doesnt offer benefits, or decent pay) they want you to consider them family as they fuck you over.
Oh great! For waiting I was rewarded with this job where the boss had zero respect for me, my time, or my skills and only values that I put up with their bull shit.
Make me wait for 11 hours for a job interview, then tell me that waiting WAS the job interview... I'm going to tell you exactly what I think about you and your mother.
Reminds me of in Kung Fu when Kwai Chang Caine had flashbacks of his childhood waiting to be chosen for temple life. Many children showed up in the morning and were sent away due to lack of discipline. Only three children remained by evening. Chosen due to obedience and patience. What a great show Kung Fu was.
Unless the job involves sitting and doing absolutely nothing for hours this would be a stupid way to interview lol.
Imagine these 2 jug heads sitting around and doing nothing "fuck man I have no other prospects, I really need this." Then this dip fuck hires them without asking a single question.
what makes you think this didn't happen? amazon used to do this regularly, as in, you knew if you had an interview for amazon that they were going to make you sit around and wait for no other reason than to fuck with you. i even had a friend who went on multiple interviews with them, he told me the secret is to bring a granola bar or two so you can sneak off to the bathroom and scarf it down mid-day because they intentionally keeping you from having lunch.
To be fair, I came into this expecting a math equation or the gate.. he INVITED 6 people BY 7am.. it doesn't say what time he invited the 6 people that he sent invites to before 7am to be there at.. that doesn't make anything better, but I was ready for one of the multiple stupid reddit brain teasers.
"BE CAREFUL AND NICE TO THAT HOMELESS MAN BECAUSE IT MIGHT TURN OUT HE'S THE BILLIONARE OWNER OF THE START UP COMPANY YOU'RE WANTING TO BE THE CTO OF!".
And BFE (Basic Facebook Enthusiasts) will share it and go "Wow, I actually got it right in the feels! Reminds me of when I bought a homeless man some coffee and he said he never met someone with my aura! He said I was an old soul! If more homeless were like him I wouldn't call 911 on those setting up tents in the rain outside my condo, disgusting, didn't feel at all bad when the cops shot him, if he wanted to become a junkie he should have thought of that before he became traumatized as a youngster!"
Then he finds out that homeless man he called 911 on was in fact the CEO of his big advertising firm and when he went in for the job interview he tossed the 3 Jacketed Hollow Point bullets on the desk! And he doesn't get the job cause almost all Dhar Mann videos end with a form of revenge.
Remember, be nice to everyone, cause they might be rich and powerful and reward you with something.
Ah - the old 'spot the willing doormat' technique. The non-existent employer above, would make a better choice by selecting those who applied a degree of self respect and buggered off when he didn't show.
Another take is someone who doesn't go to see if the appointment is still occurring. To take charge and make decisions in this case. Your time is important so manage your time, and theirs.
That post was just a scene from a B plot in the 2002 Ben Affleck/Samuel L. Jackson movie Changing Lanes.
Except, Ben Affleck's character only accidentally did it to a guy who showed up for an interview because he was distracted by his feud with Jackson's character.
So, the OOP here took a scene from the movie, made their self insert into a total dick with no respect for other people, and posted it for internet points like they'd done something.
I don't think this specific story took place -- at least I hope it didn't -- but it's distressingly plausible. As a former friend of mine once said, "They're so used to pushing people around that, by now, they literally have no other methods."
This is some right wing bullshit tale that is in no way true. The moral of the story is however bend over/bow down to your masters. The reality is most would have left by 7:15, 7:30.

Test to see who’ll put up with some fuckwit wasting eleven hours of their time for a job they may not even get.
They're looking for the most desperate candidate. They want someone who they know they can really fuck over and treat like shit and still expect them to show up the next day, someone who will work for minimum wage and no benefits.

That kind of feels like every day of a job anyway
That’s a test of who you can bully and waste their time
You act like that doesn't work both ways. That guy just hired the two idiots who will follow orders to the letter even if they don't make sense and that comes out of his pocket.
Yeah but they were dumb/desperate enough to stay so the boss can blame them for all screw ups and that probably matters more to a person like that than money saved.

LinkedIn lunatics aren't exactly known for their long-term thinking
Or indeed, thinking.
Exactly what a boss wants then
I can assure you there's nobody on this planet, no matter how desperate, who is going to sit around for 11 FUCKING HOURS for a job interview
Perhaps a homeless person who's better off staying indoors than outdoors, but I agree.
HR has entered the chat
There absolutely are. These will be the worst people to hire.
Oh yeah, definitely. I can't even believe the part of this story where three people stayed until 3 pm. I would've waited until 7:30 and dipped lol.
If they don’t call me back in for a replacement interview and at least apologise for not being on time the first time round, then I just dodged a bullet by not working for that company.
Abed from Community
Depends on the job
Then you don't know how bad some people have it. I hate this as much as the next guy, but you're speaking from privilige
No, the test was “who’s a little bitch that will let me disrespect their time”
Yeah, they would have 20 minutes max and I’d already be pissed.
After 10m of no communication I’m leaving
Pretty much, i may give some leeway if someone tells me "So and so knows you are here, is sorry, will be here shortly" but "some leeway" ends at 20 minutes tops.
Even if this was true, that’s a job you do not want. If they are doing this bullshit before they’ve even hired you. They are going to treat you 1000x worse once you’re an employee.
Six people showed up. Three left and two got the job, what about the sixth person?
They live in the walls now. If you listen hard enough you can still hear them clapping for the two that got the jobs.
Three left by 3 pm, and when the douchebag arrived at 6 pm only two were left. You can infer the sixth person left between 3 and 6 pm.
The other two ate him
Absolutely no way.
I’m sure it happens more often than we think. Boomers love nonverbal communication, not planning ahead and bullying people.
Isn't that only 5 people accounted for? I dont math good, so I could be wrong
You are right. For figuring this out in the imaginary story- you are hired!!!
It was a test of patience AND observation !
Everybody is applauding!!!!
I dug a little deeper. Apparently legend has it that the 6th guy is still waiting to this day
2 left between 3 and 6
One died in the waiting room and his organs sold off for profit
The sentence "by X pm he came and met 2" implies that another left
Left between 3 and 6 pm.
This actually sort of happened decades ago when I worked at Best Buy. A kid came in for an interview and the hiring manager was slammed so he asked the kid to wait in our break room for a bit. Probably 19,20. Wearing a full suit and tie. He sat in that break room for 6 hours waiting for the manager who forgot, and went home.

Awe. Poor guy.
Community did it.
Very first thing I thought when reading this was Troy yelling "You promised butt stuff!"
I would not want to hire the type of person that would be willing to sit in a waiting room for 11 fucking hours to get a job
An interview goes both ways. The interviewer is seeing if I am a good fit for the company and I am seeing if a company is a good fit for me. I value direct and honest communication, clear direction, and mutual respect. A company that would leave me sitting for 11 hours as some sort of “test” while not telling me what is going on is not a company I would want to work for as that does not fit with what I value in an employer.
Test to see who is desperate & poor enough and doesn't have any sort of life. The perfect worker drone!
Yes, this is definitely what all recruiters look for in an applicant: patience. Not relevant experience or education or applicable skills, just whether or not you are desperate enough to wait around for 11 hours. People who say shit like this, are apart of the we "are a family" (that doesnt offer benefits, or decent pay) they want you to consider them family as they fuck you over.
"At 6 PM, there were only 2 left. They got the job."
So, both of them?
Yeah and fuck that 6th person in particular.
I hate the way.
They all write like this.
Manosphere and cryto grifters. Do it too.
No warmth.No soul.
Do you see?
Max I'd give is maybe 15-30 minutes, anything else shows an employer with terrible time management, and work that will be the same
Oh great! For waiting I was rewarded with this job where the boss had zero respect for me, my time, or my skills and only values that I put up with their bull shit.
Make me wait for 11 hours for a job interview, then tell me that waiting WAS the job interview... I'm going to tell you exactly what I think about you and your mother.
Yeah, no. I'm not working for someone who plays games
Reminds me of in Kung Fu when Kwai Chang Caine had flashbacks of his childhood waiting to be chosen for temple life. Many children showed up in the morning and were sent away due to lack of discipline. Only three children remained by evening. Chosen due to obedience and patience. What a great show Kung Fu was.

Sounds like of those tests teenagers use when dating
You will get the employee you deserve in this case.
what makes you think this didn't happen? amazon used to do this regularly, as in, you knew if you had an interview for amazon that they were going to make you sit around and wait for no other reason than to fuck with you. i even had a friend who went on multiple interviews with them, he told me the secret is to bring a granola bar or two so you can sneak off to the bathroom and scarf it down mid-day because they intentionally keeping you from having lunch.
Suuure. 11 hours waiting for a job? Who would work for an ahole like that
lots of people work for amazon and most of them hate their jobs
To be fair, I came into this expecting a math equation or the gate.. he INVITED 6 people BY 7am.. it doesn't say what time he invited the 6 people that he sent invites to before 7am to be there at.. that doesn't make anything better, but I was ready for one of the multiple stupid reddit brain teasers.
This feels like a Dhar Mann video.
"BE CAREFUL AND NICE TO THAT HOMELESS MAN BECAUSE IT MIGHT TURN OUT HE'S THE BILLIONARE OWNER OF THE START UP COMPANY YOU'RE WANTING TO BE THE CTO OF!".

You forgot that the meal they gave the homeless guy was spaghetti and that the guy would say “everything in the dark eventually comes to light”
This is clearly bait. Maybe this post is also bait..
Lazy, copy-paste crosspost bot bait, to be precise
People lacking patience is one thing, this is negligence and the sign of someone who doesn't give a shit about others.
I love how getting a job is like being given charity in some people's eyes, not as an agreement between two parties for MUTUAL benefit...
This was a test to see how much shit you will take. The winners are the actual losers. Have some self-respect.
Ah - the old 'spot the willing doormat' technique. The non-existent employer above, would make a better choice by selecting those who applied a degree of self respect and buggered off when he didn't show.
Another take is someone who doesn't go to see if the appointment is still occurring. To take charge and make decisions in this case. Your time is important so manage your time, and theirs.
What happened to the 6th interviewee‽ I must know.
That was their mistake for daring to go to the bathroom before being interviewed. (Read: OOOP forgot)
That post was just a scene from a B plot in the 2002 Ben Affleck/Samuel L. Jackson movie Changing Lanes.
Except, Ben Affleck's character only accidentally did it to a guy who showed up for an interview because he was distracted by his feud with Jackson's character.
So, the OOP here took a scene from the movie, made their self insert into a total dick with no respect for other people, and posted it for internet points like they'd done something.
So only 3 left after 8 hours? Two people waited 11 hours? No human on earth would wait more than 2 hours.
Even if it did happen it's not a good test of patience. That just shows they're willing to waste their time.
I love the TWIST. That was the test! Enduring arbitrary cruelty. Wow shamalan
Nope, I’m out of the in 15 minutes. No respect for me means I have no respect for you
What is this even a thing to react to?
This is most never happened thing I’ve seen on here.
this absolutely happens. amazon does it intentionally just to fuck with interviewees. they used to 10 years ago at least.
Someone must have watched the Mainland cheese commercial in NZ, because this is exactly it.
Sitting in a room for 11 hours without leaving?
Dude thinks the duncan principle works
I don't think this specific story took place -- at least I hope it didn't -- but it's distressingly plausible. As a former friend of mine once said, "They're so used to pushing people around that, by now, they literally have no other methods."
You know what jobs really love? Intense desperation
Bro I got shit to do
That's the dumbest thing ever.
This is some right wing bullshit tale that is in no way true. The moral of the story is however bend over/bow down to your masters. The reality is most would have left by 7:15, 7:30.
Waiting 11 hours just to square up with the bitch who just wasted an entire day of my life
If I had to hire someone using this method, I’m taking the first one to ask what’s the delay and if we should reschedule
That’s some bullshit I saw Master Ahn do in season one of the original Kung Fu series.
Hopefully they are great at sitting there and doing nothing while taking this assholes money.
I'd stay the 11 hours.
"You're hired for being patient. When can you start?"
"2028. Please be patient."
Wtf?! That should be illegal!
He likely lost the best candidates
And if the interviewees showed up late, they'd be rejected for not being punctual.
