Didn’t your momma teach you that two wrongs don’t make a right?? If someone is a jerk to you, and then you’re a jerk to them… you’re still a jerk.

- tombert 7mo agoI do not concede that what I did was “wrong”. Pointing out something that was objectively douchy isn’t “wrong”. Yes I was a little snarky, and maybe I am a “jerk”, but considering that this person was happy to just waste my time like it was nothing I do think he was entitled to a little embarrassment.
- rkomorn 7mo ago> I do think he was entitled to a little embarrassment This is exactly the kind of signal that would make me not want to hire someone. Tit-for-tat? Spite? No thanks.
- tombert 7mo ago“Tit for tat” and “spite” feel like they are very strong words for what amounted to a justified smartass comment. If I had shown up fifteen minutes late for the interview I wouldn’t have gotten an offer and the interviewer might have made a comment about it during the interview and people generally wouldn’t call them an asshole for it.
- rkomorn 7mo agoYes, the fact that you don't see a problem with saying "he deserved it" as justification is the signal not to hire.
- tombert 7mo agoThe fact that you only want to hire workers who won’t call you out when they feel like they have been disrespected is a great way to breed a team of people who resent you. Regardless, you kind of proved what I was trying to say. Most people don’t actually want directness. The fact that when I was direct with someone you’re treating it like some mafioso retribution is telling.
