The Interviewee, The Boss, and The Hilarious Misunderstanding!
In a tale of mistaken identities and foot-in-mouth moments, a boss lady with a gender-neutral name found herself being badmouthed by a nervous job applicant, who thought she was talking to a colleague, not the boss herself! From spilled iced coffee to a bathroom monologue, this job interview was anything but ordinary. The boss, trying to keep her cool, decided not to hire the gossiping interviewee. But was she right to let the misunderstanding continue? Or should she have corrected the interviewee right away? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this hilarious situation…
NTA: Interviewee trashes potential boss, gets called out by commenters.

“NTA. But speaking as someone who’s been a hiring manager for 25 years, I would look at this incident from another perspective. This has nothing to do with your name, your gender, or a spilled beverage. Any candidate who arrives for an interview already bad-mouthing management should not be working for that company. You could have canceled the interview in the hallway, which is what I would have done, but despite her behavior you extended her the courtesy of a private conversation in your office. You did nothing wrong here.”
