applied for a part time position. phone interview within a few days of submitting my application, invited for an interview. interview went well and ended with the manager saying they think I'd be a great fit & that they want someone to start within 2 weeks. a week passes (waiting for 2nd interview to be scheduled), the manager offers me the job without their boss' consent. a few days later, get an email that I actually do need a second interview. schedule it, do the interview, that manager says they want to clone 20 of me. background check gets completed within 4 days, I receive onboarding emails 6 days post interview but don't receive a response to my email asking for an update until 9 days post interview. the manager sends some days for onboarding paperwork, I send back my availability. the first day within our availability is today, and…

This weekend, our store manager got pizza for my department because we had the top sales in our region for a particular product.
