minus-squarepinball_wizard@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up5·4 hours ago A better but boring answer, just say “nevermind, I don’t want this job” first thing. lol. Story time: That happened to me. I was the interviewer. The canidate showed up and answered my first question with “I accepted another offer this morning.” It was a short interview. I think my notes just said “poor communication skills”, which seemed nicer than “didn’t occur to them to text rather than show up”.
