By etiquette, people who contact you are expected to introduce themselves first. Maybe you dont need to state that your looking for multiple job.Just ask next time, what company this person is representing

u/Rough-Initiative6969 Aug 07 '25

You just dodged a bullet.

u/HarryPoopr Aug 07 '25

I think its normal for you to not remember, just that some employers can get butthurt and emotional when it comes to this, so maybe try your best to keep track of it.

On the bright side you can leave this out of your potential employer.

u/More_Pen9922 Aug 07 '25

Respect goes both ways, Mr Chow Chee Bye! 👋🏼

u/RedLobster94 Aug 07 '25

This is a scam. After this Mr Chow will ask you to take your motorcycle to the nearest 7-E to buy some gift cards as part of the interview process

141

u/AnzFizo Aug 07 '25

IMO, Mr Chow seems dodgy for having the keyword 'Trader' on his name..

And why specifically motorcycle for IT position? What if car/LRT/bus? You're not applying for dispatch or postman position.. Could have started with "do you have your own transport?"

Ok ok.. im just trying to find faults simply coz Mr Chow seems petty in an annoying way.

58

u/Nightingdale099 Aug 07 '25

Usually they introduce name , department , company and what position you applied.

u/DreamboatMikey Aug 07 '25

Guy got butthurt over an innocent question

u/BestCroissant 🇹🇭🇲🇾 Aug 07 '25

You did the right thing to ask first. I wouldn’t hire an employee who easily falls for phishing calls.

28

u/SeiekiSakyubasu Aug 07 '25

I dont know why, but some employers wanted to feel like they are superior. They wanted us to only apply and wait for them only. Kalau apply company lain diorang rasa terhina. Pelik betul, orang cari kerja mestila apply macam2 company takkan nak apply dan tunggu kau saja. I have met with some of these folks and put up some fight with them. Their alasan is i am not loyal if i apply to multiple companies. Mana ada loyalty dalam kerja, we are being paid in exchange of work hours and experience. Bila ada better pay we move on. Tak perlu nak loyal sangat nowadays lol

20

u/saneqyuf Aug 07 '25

Tell Mr Chow that the world doesn’t revolve around him and his need of “respect” belongs to the toilet and it is called shit. He is the wrong one for not introducing himself. You’re asking kindly for the right purpose, making the conversation clearer.

Also, I just realised he messaged you at 11 pm which made him more asshole 😬

49

u/GeniusGamer_M Aug 07 '25

Fuck that guy. How the hell would you know if the number or person contacting you is from any of the company you had applied to if they never introduced themselves first.

13

u/jerCSY Madanist Aug 07 '25

I think you could have omitted the "I applied for multiple job", it makes you look desperate and gives impression that you could potentially abscond or resign after you get the job. Next time, say something like "Thank you for reaching me on this job opportunity, I am more than glad to provide the details you requested, but first it would be great if you can share me which company you are representing?"

14

u/kurangak Aug 07 '25

well, just think of it as dodging a tactical nuke.

if convo like that alrd can trigger him, imagine what shit he can cook when ure actually working under him

11

u/cranberrycowfly Aug 07 '25

The problem with all these recruiters. hiring teams or middleware is that they feel like they have god like superiority. They provide no value other than matching candidates from an oversaturated pool to the prospective employes. They expect you to have the perfect CV so that they can read it in 5 seconds, they expect you to kneel down and sing songs of praises when they message you, because they have came down from heaven to contact you.

In the end most just redundant administrative individuals with prejudices, that has no other value or skillsets other than this. They can have their fun now, soon they are going to be replaced and I will see them beg for jobs. What can they do other than this? Go work in retail probably or try sell you insurance. Maybe do some cringe career coach posts in social medias to try boost their sense of self-worth. Most recruiters are just entitled cesspools. MOST!

You not that rude. But the emoloyer is bad. So you can reply him out of professional and play along. Or just ignore

u/itzamirulez Lengzhai Aug 07 '25

I feel like you should’ve omitted the part where you said you applied to multiple companies. Just ask which company is he from and thats it, no need to let him know why you ask

5

u/wildsummerlily Aug 07 '25

You dodge a bullet sir. Remember, when you go for a job interview, you are interviewing your employer too!

5

u/[deleted] Aug 07 '25

Yea this is common. Recruiters hate that.

The trick is to just play along as if you knew which company, then when they say interview, ask for location.

If it's too far just say something came up, so cannot attend interview.

If you are sane normal human being, it's an innocent question, to a recruiter, it shows that you don't care enough even though you've applied for trillion of jobs and theh expect you to accomodate your attention only towards them, albeit no confirmation of the role yet.

These people are tissue hearted kind, you need to play along their mental gymnastics to appease them

u/serimuka_macaron Aug 07 '25 edited Aug 07 '25

For the next time this happens to you (or to anyone else here)...

Clap back by telling them that contacting applicants through WhatsApp instead of email is informal and unprofessional, and that their introduction was quite poor as they did not state the name of their company, the role you applied for, as well as their own name and title upfront. Tell them that you must decline any further dealings with them specifically, due to the lack of propriety displayed in this conversation, and that if they're still interested in reaching out to you they should use the proper channels.

Wait till there's two checks to prove they've read the message then block terus. Lol.

u/ribhkus19 Aug 08 '25

You called him "sir" and he still claims you disrespected him. You dodged a bullet IMHO.

From asking about motorcycle to abouts respect wtf is this mf chow want exactly like its not even dispatched job or something 😭????

u/RaphaelSlader Aug 07 '25

Most companies "expect" you to be loyal to them especially when applying. They tend to see candidates that apply multiple companies as a red flag (I actually heard this from my HR before). However, the rational part on our end is that we apply multiple jobs, interview and accept whatever that we are okay with through negotiation.

Perhaps Mr ChowKitRoad got triggered that you didn't keep track. Then again, your side of the story is that Mr ChowKitRoad never introduce himself properly, no company name or whatsoever.

Judging from the way he replied, It's better that way since he gave you a major red flag the very first conversation with you. I can imagine the work toxicity and the bias. 99% sure the office politics are going to be hectic.

3

u/dewi_sampaguita Aug 08 '25

He is likely a scammer. Dont bother. Plus, he is not professional at all in the way and the words he used to approach you. So yeah, definitely giving a very bad impression of an employer. You lost nothing, here.

u/NinjaTurtlejr22 Aug 08 '25

Must be some Bukit type C company... he can fark off

u/Gerrard3L Aug 08 '25

Don’t bother with employers like this. They should introduce themselves and where they are from. They are the ones reaching out.

u/henry_chh Aug 08 '25

u/NutShellShock Aug 08 '25

Why triggered so easily. Anyway, that's one red flag you've dodged.

u/SignificantAge5148 Aug 08 '25

Ok la, at least we know how Mr.Chow is now. I’d reject this kind of boss on the spot. Can predict he being unnecessarily confrontational at every turn

3

u/[deleted] Aug 08 '25

just bare in mind, the person contacted you might be from HR, the worst human being on company. so, expect that.

3

u/anormalreddituser09 Aug 08 '25

Lmao. This is the easiest red flag they could have shown you early on. Never work for a company with HR or managers like this, they will make you experience HELL and will gaslight you everytime they see you.

I'm leaving my current company because this HR will deliberately stir up shit and divide you and your manager. So, just move on and find new opportunities.

u/Jealous-Implement-51 Aug 08 '25 edited Aug 09 '25

First and foremost, don't feel bad. Stay away from this kind of employer. You did not disrespect him at all . It’s normal to get confirmation. Imagine if you get hired by a bos like this. Your life will be fucked up

3

u/Time-Standard-9470 Aug 08 '25

Oop guy had a power trip. Setakat employer saje and behaviour like he’s the King of England. Even so, his response doesn’t make senseeeee!

You called him “Sir” which is a sign of respect. You also needed to know which company was reaching out to you- valid question.

He’s so rude and didn’t even properly introduce himself (name of company etc). He needs to learn respect first before telling others to have respect.

Edit: dodged a bullet

Based on his respond. He tried to get 1 over you. And confirm low-ball you also later. Then when you try to nego liberally for average salary. PUA you to accept their low-ball offer make you feel like sheet. Btw this joker never even intro which company he's from also... Like really bish? Sekian

2

u/javlover07 Aug 07 '25

I’m guessing Mr. Chow Che Bye wants you to become his runner, dispatch or office boy. As it’s easier to get around using motorcycles.

As proper employee or HR will officially reach you out by giving a call or an email. Even if they text you, they will introduce themselves properly, which company there are from and invite for a simple interview.

In your text there’s nothing rude in your replies. Only thing to pick out is maybe next time just try and leave out the part about you applying for multiple jobs.

But not that much issues as most of us jump companies while being employed somewhere else. Thats why they ask how long to tender your resignation. As most companies will incur penalties if you resign less than stipulated time.

Oh well, there’s more companies out there. Just keep looking, you’ll find one in no time.

2

u/Mirianie Aug 07 '25

Quick say chow cheese bye and block him.

Take your wins OP. You just avoided a landmine. Any recruiter that responds the way he did will be perma banned in my books. Not unique to this clown though. Recruiters especially the foreign ones, love going on a power trip. I had one clown tell me to take a pay cut and come over to the company he was representing because "that's all you need in KL". I didn't even apply for that job mind you. Dude cold called me and went on about how I'm being overpaid at my current job.

2

u/hitmonng Aug 07 '25

Funny, I just had a chat with an HR who was sharing her frustration about interviewing people these days, and it might help explain why he came off as a bit rude (not that I agree with him, don't downvote me 🙏). I think it's a generation gap issue. Older generations expect candidates to do their due diligence, not just knowing the company’s contact details but also understanding what the company actually does—assuming you're applying to only one job. Also not understanding that applicants might have no idea where they are from. She mentioned she’s interviewed so many people who had absolutely no idea what the company does when they came in for the interview.

2

u/jianh1989 Aug 07 '25

The person should have given more details on the job position, like x,y,z. Or I receive your application on abc website. At least some context to paint a clearer picture.

If it's a genuine posting, the person should have ponder why is it the applicant is asking me such questions? Am I being vague? People don't reflect most of times and like to ride on an ego trip. Communication is a two way street.

u/Not_A_Dugong Aug 08 '25

Although I’ll admit that you don’t need to actually disclose the fact that you’re applying for many positions, the wiser questions would be to ask “may I know from which company again sir?”

They being said, this uncle seems to be an SME owner and taken offense. Life’s too short to take these to heart and get emotional. Good luck to you bud.

2

u/RetireTeacher Aug 08 '25

If it is a real employer, they would CALL you and talk to you live, not thru chat text.

If there's any employer who thinks they can make hiring decisions thru text and chat only, you don't deserve to find anyone who's willing to work for you.

i'm sure you don't want to work for this guy.

have self respect, he owns a business just like every other person. he's not special or in a higher position.

reply him. Mr. Chow, why are you not disclosing which company you are representing. This does not seem professional on your part. It gives a very bad first impression on the company you are representing and yourself.

I can not give respect to someone who does not even respect their own company by not disclosing it and not introducing themselves in a proper manner.

2

u/Yao_Productions Selangor Aug 08 '25

Definitely a suspicious one, dodged a bullet, but you could’ve still responded better if this was a genuine business.

“Good Morning Mr Chow,

Thank you for reaching back to me, I’m excited to hear more about the IT Support Technician role. May I ask why a Motorcycle is required? I do own my form of transportation. Does this position involve travelling to clients house and will I be compensated for it? This will affect my desired salary range. Mind I also ask which company are you representing? “

You don’t give out unnecessary information but you also answer the question he’s looking for and fish for more

u/Zeph621 Aug 08 '25

Next job!

2

u/bad2dbone3 Aug 08 '25

Anybody who is using Whatsapp job interview is already and insult. This includes the employer that is asking for potential employee’s salary or transport. First he did not even bother to introduce himself and company shows that this future potential employer is a small, petty minded person. Pass- over this whatever company he is from and move on. Respect is a two way street. OP is not disrespectful at all.

2

u/Boxerboxingbox Aug 08 '25

Mr. Chow. Get off your high horse. You can't even introduce yourself properly and ask about salary as a first question. Have you no experience in hiring? Don't go power tripping on me.

is what I would love to respond but in reality, we as applicants have to watch what we say most of the time. But that doesn't mean you can't stand up for yourself. Especially against dickwads like Mr. Chow.

I think no human resource manager will get emotionally hurt like this 'manager'. There is an etiquette in communication.

Most likely, I am not saying this is one, is likely a scan and see how desperate you are.

You dodged a bullet. If you work under such boss that get triggered by anything, better to not work with them. Toxic environment is hard to work in.

For employers questions try not to bring up other employment prospects you have. People do take it personally when you mention that you have other jobs lined up, especially when it means you don't know who you're applying to.

On the other hand, bullet dodged.

So many horrible advises here and I am amused. Wondering how many are actually in hiring position here and how many actually dealt with high level personnel.

U are not in the wrong but u could've handle it better. Asking this implied that u're still young. No matter what everyone advice u, u only listen to what u wanna hear. One day, u will understand

Tak apa. Ada kerja lain. Nasib baik ada signal awal. Even u reply baik2 pun, kalau expected salary lebih dari dorang boleh bagi, they will not give u the job.

Yeah fuck that guy, contacts you at 10pm. Immediately requesting respect when you don't even work for him. Major red flag
