My reading of your story is that you decided during an interview that it wasn’t a good fit (totally fair!) and then responded to that situation by rudely provoking your interviewer. If you think that’s an appropriate response in a work setting I would suggest you work on your interpersonal skills.
Your coworkers have feelings and you want them to have positive feelings towards you since that makes it easier to work together. Deliberate rudeness kinda breaks that.
I am not rude to people. I want people to like me. I do respect people. One thing I don't tolerate, though, is being treated poorly.
By that point I was looking to terminate the interview. Looking retrospectively, I should just have stand up and thank them for their time. That person rubbed me in the wrong way and I couldn't support the belittling.
Nah, some of these manager types are a little too full of themselves and could use a reality check. He did them a favor. If enough people do this, maybe late one night this manager may start to wonder if there may be a point. If we all smile and nod things will never change.
