I am willing to give up time out of my life (which is not renewable) for money from a company (which is renewable) and I am treated with contempt at job interviews like they are doing me a favor and treated as if I am trying to scam them. Why is society like this?
If I am helping your business make money shouldn’t there be some minimal gratitude? Instead companies treat you as if you are lucky to be helping them and they treat you as if you are constantly trying to scam them.
If you feel, in an interview, that you’re being negatively judged. Leave. You are interviewing them just as much as they, you. Sure there is a slightly different power dynamic at play but the point of contempt and feeling like they’re doing you a favor shouldn’t exist.
This isn’t super useful for people that are paycheck-to-paycheck and close to desperation mode.
Though to add to that, I’d suggest everyone live as far below their means as possible and save their asses off just for this reason.
