Today, I had a meeting with the CEO about a promising job with good pay and benefits. Upon meeting, we immediately recognized each other. He was someone I used to make fun of in school all the time. He responded by refusing to interview me and had security throw me out by force. Karma bites. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, the CEO of my company wanted to meet with me. I was excited until I found out she just wanted to bitch me out and personally fire me. Later on, I found out my boss had totally shafted me and blamed the failure of a big project on me instead of admitting it was all his fault. FML

Today, I went in for an interview at my dream job. When I walked in, I got a dirty look from the front desk secretary. Turns out, the guy interviewing me was from a dating website I'm on. I'd rejected him and told him to get a life. FML

Bad timing

Today, I was at a big meeting at work. The CEO was reaming the hell out of us for our recent poor profits, when I accidentally let rip a vile fart. I was then subjected to a 10 minute tirade of abuse for "trying to be a funny man", and told that whatever small chance I had for a promotion is now gone. FML

It's a coup!

Today, at work, I accidentally walked into a meeting at which the whole company was there but me. The meeting was about how they could legally fire me while paying as little severance as possible. I'm the CEO and the founder of the company. FML

Toxic workplace goals!

Today, I walked out of a job interview feeling confident because I'd really hit it off with the interviewer. He called me an hour later to tell me that I didn't get the job, since he was afraid we'd "get along too well and never get any work done." FML

Today, during work hours, I took time off and discreetly went for an interview for a prospective job at our rival company. As soon as I reached the place, I bumped into my current boss. FML

Today, I was getting lunch at a fast food restaurant. My boss was in front of me, and in order to get on his good side I offered to pay. Instead, I got fired because I guess my boss assumed I was making fun of his salary, which I knew nothing about. FML

How the turntables turn

Today, I went to see a house for rent. The owner ended up being a person whom I denied renting to a long time ago, because I thought she was sketchy looking. Apparently she’s the CEO of a company now. She definitely recognized me and kicked me off the premises. FML

Today, while waiting for an interview at the career that I've been spending months tailoring my résumé for, I was thrown up on by my only competitor. Guess who got the job. FML

Not that bullying isn't wrong and OP didn't deserve it....but from a legal standpoint can that guy refuse the interview and get away with it?

YDI for being a bully at school - Nothing worse than a bully, this is the beauty of karma in all it's splendor.

The way I look at that, imagine if you were in charge of a company and you were calling someone to set-up an interview. What if he responds with, "It's about time you called, jerk, I was wondering when your lazy ass was gonna get around to it." Would you continue with the details of the interview time or hang up on that guy? The only difference between this and what the OP said is the time span between interactions. I see no legal standpoint. It's your own opinion on who you view as qualified to work for you, and you can refuse an interview for any reason you want.

If that scenario happened I wouldn't continue the interview. I was just wondering if there were any legal issues with canceling an already scheduled interview based on prejudice over something that happened a long time ago. Wouldn't it have been better to give the guy the interview and not give him a job? At least have some kind of excuse that can be labeled as professional. Though I probably would have wanted to react the way this guy did, I would have been worried about any consequences.

Either it's fake, or YDI. I ******* hate assholes like you, and I hope you die. In a fire. In a car.

Childish.. Hmm actually, he should have hired you and made you work your ass off. Humiliate you in front of other employees, etc. etc. That's still childish but better than just not interviewing you.

i love it when scums like you get what they deserve. YDI and more. i hope everyone you bullied is more successful than you and rejects you, b4 you can even put a point across. i 100% back up the CEO. he did the right thing.

YDI. And this is what happens when you're a jackass to people who clearly have more potential then you. I would have done the same thing, even though it would be tempting to hire you and make your life shitty. But then that wouldnt make me any better than you.
