 UPDATE: The recruiter is now begging me to reconsider to reschedule. I expressed my feelings to the recruiter about how this was handled, and how no apology or anything from the manager was received before rescheduling, so of course now 4 hours after the interview was supposed to happen the manager texted me to apologize.

What would you do in this situation? I don’t want to be harsh but I feel like the recruiter told him to reach out to apologize and so it feels disingenuous. Still leaning towards backing out.

 In my experience business edict and general performance has been shit, so unfortunately lots of places will likely suffer from issues like this. 

I personally would probably give them a second chance, but on the other hand the whole point of Bitcoin is to achieve a level of "Fuck You" where you can demand higher quality from those around you.

 Hmm on one hand I am sympathetic to someone that may have had a rough day, and things happen, but on the other I expect a high level of quality in the people around me like you said and I am in a place in my life where I don’t need the extra money or need a new job, I am still working for my current company. The way I see it, If you’re a manager and need to be told to apologize to someone after you blew off the interview with them, I don’t know if that’s redeemable. While I appreciate the gesture of the apology, this clearly didn’t come as a sincere apology given that I told the recruiter this is a reason for backing out.

 this is almost the central way in which debasing money manipulates people - by making them unable to take time off while they change jobs

 Depends on the pay and how much you need it I guess.

If the cost of trying again is low, may as well. Maybe the manager has a good story.

 Do the interview and absolutely kill it. 
Play hard to get, and give them an opportunity to make a better offer.

 I would definitely play it like this if it wasn’t for other concerning factors at play here. While I originally overlooked this due to the high pay, the company in question just went bankrupt earlier this year and have now restructured and secured funding so are still in business. Given that this company has had major issues just in the last year and this happened, I get a feeling that this isn’t where I want to take my next career step into.
