India, April 27 -- A job-seeker was left waiting alone during a scheduled interview as the HR professional simply didn't show up without informing beforehand. Instead of accepting that these things happen and calling it a day, the candidate criticised the HR over a personal WhatsApp message and withdrew his job application.

A screenshot of his biting text is now going viral, with many calling it a courageous reaction in a punishing job market.

A screenshot of the exchange between the candidate and the HR professional was shared on X by Sapna Madan, whose bio describes her as an investor.

The screenshot began with a message from the HR asking the candidate to join the virtual meeting five minutes before the scheduled time.
