I feel so dumb. Went into a job interview, but I guess my head wasn't totally in it. I had just gotten fired that week so I was a little depressed. On top of that, I wasn't even totally sure I wanted to be with this new company because it had awful reviews from former employees, but I had to see for myself. Got to the building a few minutes early and all the lights are off except one person's office because they don't work past 12 on Fridays. They didn't introduce themselves on Indeed, so I wasn't sure who I was going to meet. I see the guy sitting in his office, and he sees me, so he pokes his head out, I introduce myself and say I'm here for the interview. He tells me his name, which I immediately forget, and invites me into his office. We go over my resume, he tells me a little bit about the company and the role I applied for. After like 10 minutes, he says "ok, looks good. Can you come back next week for a working interview? To which I agree, but at this point I'm not entirely sure what I'd be doing in this role, and he doesn't ask if I have any questions. So it's now awkward because I don't know if I'm supposed to just stand up, or is he gonna say anything to conclude this interview. He says something like "ok great" and so I stand up and shake his hand(he's still seated) and say I look forward to it. I wanted to say thanks for your time, [guys name], but I forgot his name. So stupid me ACTUALLY ASKS HIM "I'm so sorry, what was your name again?" And he tells me. I'm like great thanks again and then he stands up to walk me out and asks if I want a tour of the lab. We do that, and then I leave. I am so embarrassed, but also his lack of professionalism and confirmation of the reviews I saw, I'm not too bummed. I skipped the working interview without telling them I'm not coming. I get a message on indeed asking if I forgot about the working interview. Ignored the message. I feel bad, but also I could tell the company was in a rough spot and they were desperate so I was just so turned off by everything. I justify it by saying If the roles were reversed and I was interviewing that guy, He absolutely failed. And a lot of companies won't even tell you they aren't going to hire you if your interview didn't go well, so that's what I did
TL;DR: I forgot my interviewers name during the interview. He asked if I wanted to come back for a working interview. I said yes and as I was walking out, I actually asked him was his name was again. He told me, we went out separate ways and then I ghosted them, not coming back for a second interview.
Can y'all tell me how shitty or not shitty I am? I'm kind of autistic.
