Antiwork

I just left an interview. It pissed me OFF!

First, they asked me if I was married with kids. I raised my eyebrow and said “I’m single…” I was caught off guard. It really rubbed me the wrong way! Whether I’m married with kids or NOT is none of their business. (For the record, I’m single without kids.) Isn’t that a discriminative question? Do they ask that to see if I have other obligations outside of work that would possibly cause me to take off of work? Second, after explaining the importance of communication in their office— the CEO asked me 3x in a row (to which I answered 3x in a row very clearly and concisely!) why I no longer want to work from home and said I’m “crazy because everyone wants to work from home.” So she’s not listening and communication is already failing. It just felt so awkward and unprofessional. Going on interviews is soul sucking.…

Going on interviews is soul sucking. I have 2 more this week. Lord help me.

I need to start my own business.
