Second worst, when I boldly stepped up with my marker to draw how I would organise things, only to be informed that was in fact not a whiteboard but an overhead projector screen that would now have to be replaced.

Not naming names, but one big studio offered me a salary WELL below industry standard, and when I brought it up the recruiter said “Oh, everyone here has roommates. You’ll be in the office so much you won’t even notice.”
I uh…didn’t take the job. https://t.co/pcndSuczab

Interviewed with Blizzard, was offered a lead position for $30k less than what I asked and was told “you can’t put a price on prestige.”

I was interviewing for a job for which I was not qualified. The company got its wires crossed and instead of a technical interview and a “culture” interview they gave me two culture interviews. I took the job, learned quickly on the job, and told no one.

Not me, but a friend’s teenage son had an interview at a burger restaurant for what would have been his first job. The interviewer asked “what’s one word that best describes you.” Extremely nervous, he chose the first word his flustered mind could come to: “erotic”

I once had a terrorist attack occur directly outside the building I was in during my required “5 minute presentation” for an interview.
I suggested we pause while the interviewers let their families know they were alive.
