Microsoft teams and shitty management shafted me out of a job that could have been pretty sweet.
Remote interview. Click the link to join the room. Just me alone. Back out and back in. Me alone. Wait 5 minutes to see if its some kind of patience test because they said the interview would take 45 minutes but I cant think a single reason why it would take more than 5. Reply to the email telling them Im here alone. Send an email to the company checking if ive been sent the right time or link. Wait in silence for a full hour. Receive an automated email rebuking me for not attending the interview and that I’ve been blacklisted for applying for the company for 12 months.
Just. Fuck. Off.

Lol. :) If that is true, then you have a ridiculous culture over there. In Sweden, someone from hr would call me if I didn’t show up, since they understand that technical problems are common.

I frequently conduct interviews and will call the phone number on record or from the CV if the candidate is even just a few minutes late.

Same exact thing happened to me and they just ghosted me afterwards. It was for a good job too.

It sounds like you dogged a bullet. Management didn’t try to reach out to you at all in that hour to ask where you were? They didn’t see the email and figure out it was technical hiccup and reschedule the interview?

Same thing happened to me for a remote call center job. They ended up discovering they mistyped the invitation link by not copy pasting the last character. They told me I was unprofessional via email until then. When they rescheduled, I simply told them their unprofessional approach pushed me to search another opportunity.
