For the role I have posted, an internal person wanted to apply. This person has been around for a few years and manages other managers. The only problem - this person decided to page me to express interest. If you have worked in this company, a page usually indicates a severe issue where your involvement is needed immediately. You are required to acknowledge the page and respond appropriately to it. So while I am driving home, I get this page! I drive to corner of road to stop to see what happened and what set off my phone, and what do I see - “I am interested in your role”. Like really? fucking really? paging me for that? Once I got home, I immediately pinged that person and let them know it was not cool what they did. Their response - “I apologize for inconvenience”. Of course this person would’ve never moved ahead in my queue purely because of this ridiculous incident, but the fact that even after pointing out why they should’ve not done it, their response was half hearted crap. Thankfully this person withdrew their application and saved themselves the joy of me rejecting them. Ugh.
