To turn down a job when the interviewer talked solidly at me for 1.5 hours

[PeacockPalace]

And wouldn’t let me get a word in edgeways? He is the company owner so I’d be working directly for him.

He literally talked at me for 90 minutes. If I tried to speak he just carried on talking. Even at the end where he asked me if I had any questions, I went to ask a question and he cut in, finished what he thought the question was going to be and carried on talking.

He offered me the job within an hour of finishing the interview but I couldn’t work for someone like that. I’d find it draining and probably never get listened to.

He then emailed me to ask why I’d turned it down and I said I don’t feel that the fit is there for me. So he then emailed me again asking me to elaborate and why isn’t the fit right. I didn’t reply and he’s messaged me another two times in two days asking the same.

AIBU for turning down the job? WIBU to just ignore his emails from now on, as I don’t think he’s the type of person that would value my feedback anyway?

I’ve seen he’s still advertising the job on Indeed so others must have felt the same.

Weird of him but I’d be blunt and tell him why.

Yes it's not her job to train him & I don't see anyone implying it is her job
We don't have to bring enlightenments, it's our choice - It's what I would wish to do because I care about future possible employees & what they might experience -
However it's equally understandable that not everyone would feel comfortable to do so - Yes in an ideal world, whomever is above should educate him in people's skills etc
Sadly we don't live in an ideal world, & it's helpful, though not always possible, to do our part to make some positive changes

I would NOT tell him. I am always grateful when people advertise red flags like big Klaxons. You tell him and he'll hide it better and some poor job applicant won't realise until it's too late.

I had exactly this scenario last year. Founder director of the company. I saw them advertising the same job lately.

This! Please this!! And then tell him to stop harassing you! FFS!
