‘You’re obviously not the right person for the job': Hiring manager demands job candidate leave interview after they ask manager for contact information of former employees

The line between being a smart and impressive job candidate and being perceived as an entitled person who is hard to work with is very blurred. As a job candidate, you are expected to ask the right questions at the right time, and anything other than that can ruin your chances of securing the job, something that unfortunately happens to a lot of people.

When I read the Reddit story down below, I initially didn't think that the questions the job candidate was asking HR were inappropriate and even considered them brave. I also thought that the fact that HR ended the interview immediately after those questions were asked was disrespecting of the job candidate. Then I read the comments, which made me realize that what the job candidate was asking of HR was very out of line and that maybe HR was right to respond the way they did.
