I think having your teeth extracted...no. Forget that. Having an impacted wisdom tooth wreck havoc in your jaw and molars is probably a more pleasant feeling than what I went through.
I was taken aback when the interviewer asked if I have any problems working for women. Technically, that's kind of a "no-no" to ask. Had the interviewer actually listened to what was being said and not have things go in one ear and out the other, or conjure things out of the ether, she would have known that I have previously worked with and for women. Just completely caught me off-guard that she would feel I had some kind of inkling of misogyny or some kind of aversion to interacting with women when all I did was talk about my previous experiences at my previous employers.
Completely nothing was discussed with what the job would entail and the ins and outs of a typical workday, and when I tried to ask something that pertained to the job - probably an anomaly with these two interviewers - they would steer the topic back to my previous employers because they couldn't fathom why a person would separate from an employer. As if they were taught employee and employer always had to this unbreakable symbiotic bond. Even when they came at me from various angles and using different vocabulary, the gist of the questions was the same, so the answers remained the same. Still trying to connect dots that didn't need connecting, I politely informed them of my supervisors and owner of the company they could get in touch with; people I had no ill feelings for, as a matter of fact, people that I put down as my references. The separation was due to downsizing.
"Nope. Must be something else. Let's ask a few more times and be the junior sleuths that we know we are."
Not surprised in the slightest that the company sees a revolving door with regards to their employees. And if the owners see this, word of advice: changing your company name from Remains Lighting to Aesthetonics, Inc. doesn't mean things corrected themselves.
