Background; I worked at my last job for about 5 years before I got fed up and left. My current job Iāve been at for almost 2 years, and while it still has its flaws, it is exponentially better then my last job.
When I left my coworker/friend āJennyā was starting to be unhappy as well. Telling me it got worse after I left, and that she wanted to go somewhere else. So I recommended her at my work. She applied, got interviewed but didnāt get hired because she didnāt have the proper schooling/paperwork. (The old job allowed her to work regardless of the fact that it was illegal) they told her as soon as she paid for her schooling, or a different position opened up where she didnāt need it, they would hire her.
Well now, a year later, a position has opened up where she would qualify to work. I told her, and she called my boss to see what needed to be done. This is where everything got rocky. It took her about a week to fill out the application they asked her to do. And that was with me reminding her. Finally she did it, it went through, they called her to come in so they could start the hiring process. First, she completely forgot about the first appointment they made with her and she had to reschedule. Then today comes, and she waits until 5 hours before her appointment to call and tell them that she canāt make it and would like to reschedule till Friday. My management called her back and told her that they filled the position. But they came and told me that she was being flakey and super unprofessional and they were no longer interested which is fair.
She later texted me and said that they went with someone else but it was fine cause she didnāt have the paper work any way (which she no longer needed)
I want to text her back and be like āno actually they decided not to pursue you because you kept flaking and it didnāt look good to them, if you ever want to get out of that job you should maybe prioritize your interviews moreā would that make me an asshole? Is it none of my business and I shouldnāt let it get in the way of our acquaintanceship/friendship.
TLDR; an old coworker I still talk to sometimes applied to my job, I vouched for them, and they flaked out of 2 interview times leading my job to tell her they went with someone else. Would I be the asshole to tell her that she needs to make her interviews a priority?
