6 Figure Job Offer Got Pulled Because I made an off-hand joke during the interview that if I worked from home, I'd likely be in my boxers.

Yeah talking about being in your underware around a lady that you don't now well is not a good look. Also I don't want to sound dismissive it sucks for you to lose money and job over something so small. But you really have to watch what you say, in your next interview.

Well, I would've understood it costing me the offer.

But they made the offer and then were like loljk, someone decided to change their mind and complain and that was it lol

Try to leave the jokes for when they like you.

People acting like TC are why we all can't have nice things like flexible work schedules.

Employers don't want to think you're fucking off on WFH days.

That was a cardinal sin even attempting to joke about.

It is a bit awkward to be talking about being in your underwear if we are conducting a work interview for 6 figures.

Exactly. I work from home every Friday and my boss always emails me to ask what I'm working on that day. It's also the only day he gives a damn what I'm doing. Spend a whole day in the office twiddling my thumbs, he doesn't so much as look at me.

That's why I make sure to tell him I'm working on things I've already completed so I can spend the day drinking and gaming.

Yeah, that's pretty rough. Overall, it's a tame joke, but an interview is not a place to joke like that. What's really odd is how they still gave you the job offer and then took it back. Did they actually tell you that was the reason? Did you accept the offer before they revoked it?

I wonder how this would have gone if the interviewee was a woman.

Yeah, they called me and said they had to pull the offer explicitly because of that comment. It didn't come up when they initially decided on me for some reason, only after they had made the offer.

That's why you don't joke during interviews. You never know how they'll take the joke since you'll most likely not know any of the interviewers.
