Initially, I had a positive phone call with the hiring manager and we scheduled a follow-up conversation. Subsequently, I received an invitation to meet the CEO in person. Unfortunately, during the meeting, the CEO, Jerry, appeared disinterested and unengaged. Despite my attempts to engage him in conversation, he declined to ask me any questions and instead flipped through his phone with very little eye contact, maybe none at all. This behavior was particularly surprising and disappointing, as I had rearranged my schedule to accommodate the meeting with the CEO. In all my years of professional experience, I have never encountered such a level of blatant discrimination, especially considering the importance of the meeting. It is expected that even if someone has biases, they would still make an effort to pretend to be interested in the conversation.
