I am just trying to show that I already had red flags and a bad feeling in my gut when I went up there to begin with. Then the actual experience soured me in a way and my previous feelings were "validated" which lead me to act how I did. No one is too busy to shake someones hand and tell them they are running behind. You can read the mans email back to me and get a good gauge of the type of person he is. I know people are looking at this like I am totally the problem... but if you look at the things he said and did you'll understand a lot better the situation I was put in.
I don't think I was totally right, but I don't think I was totally wrong either. It was the job of the receptionist to inform me of the interview process, yes.
Then why were you making small talk with her? This doesn't line up now.
What the fuck is this shit?
Oh I know you did not say stuff like that, I was speaking in general. A few posters seem to delight in the fact he might have fucked himself over in a whole area because of this, and that's fucked up.

I honestly feel the receptionist just didn't have time for this. She didn't offer coffee or water, but I could tell she was extremely behind what she was needing to do which is why I didn't really want to interrupt her to find out what the deal was.

The interviewer peered through the one way mirror, a twisted smile forming on his gnarled face. "Yes..." he said, watching our valiant hero, "Wait just a bit more... more..." His sneer echoed through the dim halls. "I scheduled this for three," he continued to himself, "But I... I SHALL MAKE YOU WAIT UPWARDS OF AN HOUR YOU FOOL!" He threw his head backwards and laughed a laugh so dark and vile it curled the veneer on the window panes.
Seek some medical help.

This literally blows my mind.
I'm really not. I've never seen someone leave a company without warning unless something was going down, otherwise there's always a few weeks notice and hell, a good-bye party.
.
I didn't expect her to. I just found it odd she didn't. Literally every other place I've ever interviewed with this has happened. It just seems like a normal thing to do if there is going to be any sort of a wait involved.
You're just trolling now right?
I knew something was odd when I got contacted the morning after he posted the job. Honestly, any company in a hurry to hire like that is in a bind.... and is always short staffed. It's obvious that the two techs left without explanation otherwise this job would have been posted for two weeks, not waiting until the day the techs walked out to start the interview process.
But can't you admit that there's even a slim possibility for other reasons? I've certainly seen people just up and quit ...
You're stupid fucking ignorance is actually making me mad.

Of course I can, but if I were about to interview at a company and was told that two people (of 8) had quit unexpectedly just recently I would be very nervous about accepting a position there.
He just replied guys
Hold on and I'll post a transcript.

"xxxx,
I was not running behind.
You simply do not understand our interview process and because of that you walked out on your interview before we got a chance to speak to you.
I did not expect, nor did I tell you that I would start talking to you at 3p. I expected you would arrive at 3p to start our interview process and you would stay until we finished.
We allow 30-45 minutes for the paperwork to be done before interviewing candidates.
It's great that you came in early and finished your paperwork quickly, but that did not change when we were expecting to bring you back for your in person interview.
It's disappointing and unprofessional that you chose to leave your interview early. When I came out to get you, xxxx said you just walked out.
Perhaps next time you should ask about the process before making so many assumptions and leaving in the middle of your interview in a huff.
Thanks for the feedback and for coming in.
Good luck in your job search,"
I didn't tell you that I love you today.your magnificence, my king, lord of the megalos

This has got to be a troll. The post history, the avatar, the self entitlement. Goddamn...

Certainly, it is a red flag. It should make a person cautious for their face to face interview. But it shouldn't cause a person to walk out at their scheduled appointment time. One needs the face to face to judge whether the interviewer was likely the cause of the quits.
Don't sweat it, OP. Just learn from it and move on. Besides, that guy was probably not someone you'd want to work for if he's unable to manage his or your time.
This literally blows my mind.
Really?
I like how so many people in this thread are calling being "put off by a surprising lack of etiquette" being entitled.
I fully expected to fill out some sort of application. Hence why I arrived 15 minutes early to handle all of that AS TO NOT WASTE ANY EXTRA TIME THAT HE HAD SCHEDULED OUT OF RESPECT FOR HIM AND HIS BUSINESS.
One hot summer's day a Fox was strolling through an orchard till he came to a bunch of grapes just ripening on a vine which had been trained over a lofty branch. "Just the things to quench my thirst," quoth he. Drawing back a few paces, he took a run and a jump, and just missed the bunch. Turning round again with a One, Two, Three, he jumped up, but with no greater success. Again and again he tried after the tempting morsel, but at last had to give it up, and walked away with his nose in the air, saying: "I am sure they are sour."

So DOTA guys.... does he blame his team a lot?
It's true that respect goes both ways and the employee shouldn't let the boss do as he pleases.
But in this case nobody was disrespectful, he was waiting for awhile sure but, according to the OP, he didn't ask why was the delay or anything. Waiting a little wouldn't hurt.
He is selling himself to the company and he needs them more that they need him so a little sacrifice would be appropriate.
If the boss insulted him or something I would understand but that wasn't the case. He was just busy or a little late.
He plays as Sniper, mid lane, get killed 5 times in the first 10 minutes, then blames everybody.
