Interviewer Left Within 1 minute of Interview

Interviewed with someone on the team (they came 15 mins late).

Went something like this:
"How was your weekend" Me

"Ok.... How was yours?" Interviewer

"Yeah, just enjoying time with my family with the time that I have back home from college." Me

"You are here for an interview?" Interviewer

"Yes" Me

"Don't have time, schedule time on my calendar" Interviewer

Leaves meeting...

I totally understand professionals being busy, I feel kinda felt disrespected after spending so much time prepping etc. How can someone lack this much professionalism??? IDK a grown adult talking to a 19 year old like this.

What do you all think?

You're NGMI bro - needed to have the instinct to instantly fire back, "I don't have time either, work with my EA"

Then drop the call before he could respond

 

LOLL you're right I need to be on feet more, doesn't help that bro hung up right after his sentence

 

HAHA, sorry I come off entitled but to be fair the guy did not even know that he was holding an interview and I had spent lots of time preparing for it so it just felt like a slap in the face.

 

Why are modern people in First World countries this retardedly entitled? If you feel entitled to an apology when he offends you—you shouldn't be seeking a job to be his subordinate!! Enough of the unwarranted arrogance; you don't matter

 

I am not acting like it isn't really rude, I in fact explicitly said it is annoying. But I am not whining about it because it doesn't help. I didn't do it, so I won't apologize. Least the interviewer can do is apologize, but why care? Just a waste of time and emotion. Just keep chugging and stop wasting your emotions on people who don't care about you.

Do you really want to work with someone who is so disrespectful of your time and unprofessional? I would just move on and consider it a dodged bullet. I've had interviews rescheduled last minute, and it is super frustrating for the reasons you mentioned, but at least the HH/interviewer themself would apologize and let me know before I jumped on a call to find out.
