I think it would be considered a bit rude for an employer to terminate an interview early without a good reason. Unless it was obvious that the interview would just be a waste of everyones time, in which case I might be grateful, I've grinded through hour long phone interviews where it's been clear in the first 5 minutes that I'm not what they are looking for.
- wccrawford 14y agoAt a previous job, we had a question that we'd use to signal that we thought the interview was over so that the boss could wrap it up. The interviewee only knew that they were hit with an odd question. They didn't know it signaled the end. There were other times that the boss ended it early without consulting us. Only once was I unsure he should have done so. And again, the interviewee didn't know the difference. We did, because we do the same things every interview, and if some are left out, it's obviously short. But we could get away with it because the interviewee had no expectations. The guy in the article, however, was there for a full day of interviews. If they cut it short, he'd know. And yes, it would have been rude, just like he was rude to leave. But in the end, does that matter? If he stayed, knowing he wouldn't fit, he'd be wasting their time and his. Leaving saved them all time and money, and they should be thankful instead of upset. Their feelings were hurt because they thought they had an awesome place to work, and he didn't think so.
