IT WOULD seem like an obvious question to ask at a job interview: “How much do you plan on paying me?”
But a young woman claims she was shown the door when she inquired about her potential salary.
Taylor Byrnes was preparing for her second interview with Canadian food delivery company SkipTheDishes when she emailed a member of the company’s HR team to ask about how much she would be paid.
But if she was expecting a run-down of the benefits on offer, she was in for a rude awakening.
The recruiter shot back with a message advising that she could forget about the interview as she was not the right “organisational fit” for the role. Ouch.
Ms Byrnes posted screenshots of the conversation on Twitter and called for a boycott of the company
