Office Horror Stories: True Workplace Nightmares23 Huhti 2020

38: Not In My Job Description | Manager Tools

Have you ever been asked to do something that was far outside of your job description? How do you handle it, when what you are asked to do is not only dangerous but crazy as well?

“Later that day, I got a call explaining that I was one of the five people they wanted to call back for stage 2, so I was told to return to the office at 9 AM the next day. I get there and find that there are four other people waiting as well. As we wait, the tiny waiting room fills up, until there are more than 30 people packed together. While this is happening, we hear house music ominously blasting in the backroom, and after a while, we hear loud chanting and shouting coming as well.

Against my better judgment, I choose to stay until my name is called. My interviewer explains that because the office is so crowded, we must have an interview in a Starbucks. On the way, he explains that my job would involve none of the responsibilities listed in the job description. Instead, it involved walking up to people on the subway to get them to sign up for cell phone deals, and my salary would be entirely commission-based.”
