| Privately yes. To your partner. Yes. To your close friends over drinks. Yes. To a semi-private social media account that will probably become public? No. That speaks of entitlement and narcissism. And the fact that most millennials think it is "reasonable" to whine and cry publicly when they don't get their way is the problem. If she were professional, she would have taken the opportunity to learn from it, change her interview/work-casual appearance a bit for the next job prospect, and try again. The fact that she ranted at all about a commonality such as dress code in business shows how unprofessional she is, and I have to agree with other comments that this probably showed through in the interview. My general rule of thumb for my staff is do your work well, and I don't care if you wear jeans and a polo, cut out fifteen minutes early/take a few extra minutes on lunch/show up a bit late every once in a while. As long as our users are happy, work is done, and quality is high that is what matters and I will cover for you and have your back if anyone questions it. But, I would expect a possible job applicant to show up on time, in a suit or button down/slacks. And not act like an entitled, special snow flake regardless of obvious talent and skill. It is unfortunate she didn't get the job, but making a bullshit stink about how unfair it is publicly is just awful. Grow up. |
