What a Waste of Time
I was told multiple times the starting wage was $16 per hour plus medical/dental. Basic warehouse work pretty much. Loading freight, very physical and not a problem for me.
So, I’m in an interview with the manager and a couple supervisors. Everything went really well until they asked me how much I make, which at the time was $14 an hour.
“Why are you willing to take a step down in pay to work for us?”.
What? I said, “The offer was $16 an hour, that’s why I’m here.”
They actually laughed and said, “Oh no, you can get up to $16 an hour maximum pending performance reviews.” They wanted to pay me minimum wage.
I said, “Sorry to waste your time, but this is wasting mine.” I got up and left.
