    Oh I did this one once! I interviewed for a job as a construction worker, and my first question was “what’s the pay” and second “how the fuck do you expect anyone to say yes to that”.

    They also had an apprentice working on a roof right next to us with absolutely no safety gear in sight.

    I had one guy I interviewed tell me, unprompted, that all the women in the company would definitely feel comfortable around him.

    Ok???

    It was a fast no thank you. So I guess I’d do that.

        They get me on board with the high salary, but the damage I do by not knowing how to do the job is ultimately what they cannot afford.
