to tell a company I applied for a job with that they are rude

[BigYellowJumper]

and that I don't want to work for them?

The faceless person I have been emailing with (seriously, not even a name on the replies, just the company name) has been dismissive and rude every time we've spoken.

First: when they offered me an interview I asked for a clarification of the interview time. It was written in a way that sounded quite unclear (said one time, then after, another.). The person replied 'As I clearly stated before, the time is xyz.' OK, I thought, bit abrupt, but never mind.

They gave me the address for the office, and said 'do you have a car? A car is essential for this role because the office is not near to public transport.' I said 'yes, that's no problem, I have a car.' They replied 'well, it would be a 'problem' as you say, if you didn't, because there is no public transport here.'

Honestly, I just feel so put off. Every time, there is some snippy little comment and I kind of feel like if I go for this job, I'll be working in that kind of atmosphere and get stressed out. If I was desperate to work, it would be one thing, but we have enough saved up that I don't need to work for a little while, so would I be unreasonable to just cancel the interview and to tell them that I find their responses very rude and don't want to work in a place with rude people?

Yep, it's definitely worth telling them now. I can't abide rudeness and in a professional capacity? Get in the fucking sea.

Also, congratulations on your new job!

Don't take a job there.....

I had a few things that niggled before I started my current role. I should've listened to my heart....

It's not ended well!

I'm with @ceto. Email them! Let then know what a penile gland the HR person is.

In fact, in my own company there was once a guy who walked into a store I was supervising and pretended to be high up in the company and told us our displays were wrong and "incompetently put together' and started writing our names down. Caught him out because it said HR on his ID and he was local (same dirty brummie accent as mine)...our display dept are located 100 miles away, there's no way he'd have finished work from there at 5pm and been in our shop at 5:30....

I said to him "didn't realise HR started doing display checks?". He shit his pants (he didn't realise I'd read the tiny writing on his badge that told me he's in HR) , he said "you don't know who you're talking to"...and left saying we'd hear from 'senior display management (that dept don't exist..)

Called up HR next morning, told them his name and what happened....turns out HE'S A 19 YEAR OLD APPRENTICE WHO STARTED THE DAY BEFORE AS A HR ASSISTANT!

So some people just power trip because they think they can. Especially HR people.

I'd email and ask them of the name of tit who emailed u too.

Congratulations!

You could email the boss to say that you took another job rather than waiting for the interview for this one - which was the one you originally really, REALLY wanted - because of rude employee. Include the email trail but c&p the relevant bits.

Congratulations on your new job.

Do send the email thread of your correspondence to someone senior in the company and tell them that this negative experience really put you off the company.

Congrats, OP.

I think you should escalate the email thread and ask them if that's the company culture.

The person sending the e-mails may be trying to put you off, they may be going for the role or they may know someone who is. Don't be pur off! Go and make the choice for yourself.
