Still, he chose to go ahead, keeping in mind that the employer offered workplace incentives related to “inventory.” “The job was advertised as full-time, but it turns out they can’t guarantee hours. One week could be zero, and the next could be fifty,” said the man after he was informed about this by the interviewer. The business offered hourly wages with a maximum of sixteen dollars per hour. Moreover, he added, “You had to travel throughout the state using your own vehicle. You aren’t paid while you drive. They consider it like a commute.”<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=07BVXj_0wNbmexr00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=07BVXj_0wNbmexr00" width="1200" height="800" ><figcaption>Senior woman talking with HR male recruiter during job interview.

While “commuting” to different locations, the business also had its own expectations, asking the man to stay in a shared hotel room. “While at different locations, you have to stay overnight in a hotel they choose, which they pay for. I can handle staying in low-quality hotels, but you’re also required to share the room with a stranger,” the post further elaborated. According to the candidate, this was “insane,” as he could not control his laughter in the middle of the formal chat. “Sure, it would be another employee, but as I mentioned, you travel all over the state. It could be anyone from anywhere,” he added.Furthermore, the job offer prompted the man to laugh, inviting a reaction from the recruiter. “When she looked at me, confused, I just laughed and said, ‘That’s awful. People actually do that?’” he wrote. It clearly got the HR upset, who asked rather curtly if he would like to continue the interview. He responded, “I said, ‘God, no,’ and hung up.” “I’m not getting assaulted in a lousy hotel for sixteen dollars an hour with unpredictable hours. There should be laws against nearly everything they’re doing,” the post concluded, inviting reactions from people on the platform.u/These-Maintenance-51 said, “$16 an hour? You could probably make that babysitting a cash register somewhere. In some states, that's barely above minimum wage... filling this position will be tough.” “Damn, that sucks! You accidentally laughed at that offer. Next time this situation comes up, make sure you intentionally laugh instead,” u/RickMuffy added. “More people should do this. If they're basically going to try to force you into servitude, make them feel bad and stupid. They aren't being polite to you, why be polite back?” shared u/DanimalPlays.</div></body>

Man can't stop laughing as recruiter's job offer keeps getting worse with every detail

Getting a job offer is always a delightful experience; yet, sometimes, even these victory moments of life can quickly become worthless.

During an interview, the candidate—who goes by u/hamsterdandy on Reddit—did something the hiring manager did not expect him to do, changing the course of the serious conversation to a completely humorous turn.
