I couldn't handle listening to this guy anymore so I just simply said; I thought it was obvious this role would be at least 3 days hybrid because I didn't think they were so out of touch to assume anyone could be a full time in shop employee on $50,000 in NYC. The guy just hung up on me after but honestly, felt great and I have no regrets.
