Then, the bachelorette bully proceeded to send an email filled with “rules” for the entire bachelorette party’s trip to Vegas. And, it’s absolutely f**king insane.

So, let’s break it down, shall we?

Basically, she found a church to go to in Vegas on Sunday—she even told the Pastor of the church to “expect them.”She also said that there would be “no liquor” in the hotel room at all because they could fall off the balcony and die (which sounds much better than staying with this woman anywhere). She also said that no one could have any sex on this trip—none, zero, zilch. No drugs—not even Adderall.

On top of these demanding rules and regulations, she’s also insisting that everyone in the bridal party who is attending the trip to send her $50 each, because she “plans on spending $900 on groceries—nine hundred dollars.

Going on a job interview can be an incredibly stressful and anxiety-triggering situation. For many people, we need a job to survive. Therefore, when you find a position that is “perfect” for you, you get extra nervous, hoping you ace the interview. But, what do you do when a potential boss completely bullies and belittles you during your interview process? Honestly, I’d have no idea how to react. Olivia Bland, a marketing professional from Manchester, England, however, knew exactly how to handle herself when this recently happened to her during an interview.

Bland shared on Twitter that she received a job offer from a company, after she had a horrible interview with the company’s CEO. She shared on Twitter:

Yesterday morning I had a job interview for a position at a company called Web Applications UK. After a brutal 2 hour interview, in which the CEO Craig Dean tore both me and my writing to shreds (and called me an underachiever), I was offered the job. This was my response today.

Her response, however, was one that was well put together and well thought out. Bland declined the job offer, and explained in grave detail how humiliating and uncomfortable it was for her to sit in an interview where the CEO tore apart “her and her writing entirely.”

She also said she understands that by sending this email and declining the offer, she fell into the CEO’s “test” trap that he was clearly trying to present.

Bland also said that the way in which the CEO spoke to her reminded her far too much of the abusive relationship that she recently got out of. She believes that taking the job will be traumatic for her. Additionally, she added that she is not the only one who feels this way—as there are many other reviews online that say similar things.

After her tweet went viral, the company’s board of directors issued a response to the claims that their CEO was conducting himself inappropriately during the interview process. However, Bland was not interested in their excuses, stating:

Excuse me @WebAppUK but this isn’t good enough. I haven’t even received a direct apology from your company. Fix up.

Many on Twitter applauded Bland for standing up for herself, and countless others, and sticking to her guns.

Having been in this position multiple times but unable to do what you just did here, I feel so thankful to see an example of how to handle a situation like this. Thank you! 💜 We need more vulnerability and kindness in this world.

Unlike you I took the job where I felt like this in the interview and it was the worst 3 months of my life, where my mental health took a massive hit. Over three years ago and I still get anxious thinking about it. Good on you for sticking up for yourself.

This is such a clear, courageous and dignified response to appalling behaviour. All power to you for seeing the value in yourself and declining a job offer from a workplace that will not respect you. Very best of luck with your other interviews!

It's such a disgrace that the CEO from a reputable company @WebAppUK who talks a lot about supporting mental health, gender issues, menopause issues and feels strongly about education (on their YouTube videos) should act in such a loathsome, disrespectful manner! Appalling!!!!

Perfect response, I hope it hits a nerve with someone there. I also hope you can feel the empowerment from realising that past experience has enabled you to impose a hard limit on what you’ll tolerate. I’ve been there, and it was a relief to see my self-preservation in action

Then, the bachelorette bully proceeded to send an email filled with “rules” for the entire bachelorette party’s trip to Vegas. And, it’s absolutely f**king insane.

So, let’s break it down, shall we?

People on Twitter were blown away that this woman would force her way into the bachelorette party and then demand that everyone follows her rules—and she’s not even the bride!

Others said they would want their bachelorette party to be the exact opposite.

Some hoped that the rest of the party kicked her a** to the curb.

And plenty of people were dying at the language she used.

And her outrageous rules.

Some wanted to use this for actual good.

Also—the burning question we all have…

Honestly, everyone on Twitter (and everyone over here) wants to know what actually went down. Someone, please give us a follow-up.
