AITA for Going Home After Being Ghosted by a Job Interviewer?

AITA for Going Home After Being Ghosted by a Job Interviewer Although I currently have a job, I decided to explore other opportunities. A week ago, I found a job posting on Indeed that seemed promising. It offered good pay and involved work I enjoy. The only drawback was the 35-minute drive out of town.

I had a productive conversation with the business owner through Indeed’s messaging system, and he seemed like a decent person. I explained that I work daily from 7 AM to 3:10 PM, so the commute to his shop would take some time. He asked if I could meet him at 3:30 PM.

Moreover, I informed him that it wouldn’t be possible since I finished work at 3:10 PM and couldn’t make the drive in less than 20 minutes. I assured him I would leave town at 3:10 and arrive around 3:40. I provided my phone number in case any changes arose, and we ended the conversation on a positive note.

I drove rather quickly and managed to arrive at 3:37, pleased with my timely arrival. When I got there, the business was closed. Assuming he might be nearby, I got out of my vehicle to look around.

I noticed two teenagers moving some materials and approached them, explaining that I had an appointment with their boss. One of them informed me that he had left a few minutes earlier but offered to call him back.

The teenager called his boss, explained who I was, then chuckled and said “okay” with a look of disbelief on his face before hanging up.

The teenager turned to me and said, “He says to go home.” I asked him to repeat himself. “He said go home,” he repeated, this time laughing uncomfortably.

Frustrated, I faced another 35-minute drive back home. As I left, I decided to express my irritation: I left some donut tire skid marks on his front lawn as I sped away.

About 30 minutes later, the business owner called me from a private number, which I let go to voicemail since I was driving. Listening to the voicemail later, I realized it further confirmed the negative Google reviews about him. This person wasn’t someone I wanted to do business with anyway.

While I have a job, I decided to explore other opportunities and found a promising position on Indeed, despite the 35-minute drive out of town. I had a positive conversation with the business owner, who seemed reasonable, and we agreed I’d meet him around 3:40 PM after my work.

I drove quickly and arrived at 3:37, only to find the business closed. Two teenagers informed me that the owner had left a few minutes earlier but offered to call him. After speaking with him, they told me he said to go home, laughing uncomfortably.

Frustrated by the wasted trip and the owner’s rudeness, I left donut tire skid marks on his lawn as I drove away. Later, the owner called from a private number, confirming my suspicion that he wasn’t someone worth working for.
