Last one in, first one up
I had an interview for a teacher training position and was still recovering from a pretty major surgery, so was still on crutches. I arrived 30 minutes early, and they then told me that the interview was taking place in a different building on the opposite end of the campus.
When I asked if they had any form of help with transport, I got a weird look and they said “It takes less than 10 minutes to walk there.” It took me nearly half an hour.
When I got there the two other candidates were already there with the head of faculty, who welcomed me with a “glad you decided to finally join us.”
We had to do presentations and I was told “it’s only fair, last one in first one up”. I did my presentation, then went in for my individual interview. The first question was: “do you make it a habit to be the last one everywhere?”
I’d had enough. I asked them if they made it a habit to discriminate against people with disabilities (they’d have had no idea it was just surgery recovery), and iterated that I had no interest in being educated by an establishment that ridiculed people for something they had no control over, then I hobbled out.
A week later they offered me a place on the course.
I rejected, wrote in with my grievances, and never heard back.
