A UK graduate turned down a job after she compared the chief executive’s interview technique to that of an “abusive ex”.
Olivia Bland, 22, hit out at the CEO of a tech company in Manchester after he allegedy criticised her Spotify account and tore apart her personality. She went on to say she was baffled to be offered a job after the experience, and turned it down.
The Southampton Solent University graduate, from Oldham, said she was subjected to a “brutal” two-hour interview with the company chief, which she said “felt like being sat in a room” with an “abusive ex”.
Bland shared her e-mail to the company after the interview on Twitter, writing: “There is something very off to me about a man who tries his best to intimidate and assert power over a young woman and who continues to push even when he can see that he’s making somebody uncomfortable to the point of tears.”..
