Antiwork

This I don’t understand. I called the local Chinese restaurant to order dinner, I ask for delivery. The guy on the phone says they don’t deliver anymore, OK no problem Ill pick it up. I get to the spot and notice there are only 2 people working there (the father that owns the business and his son) and a very prominent NOW HIRING sign displayed. I know this is a family business, I eat there often and I know the people that work there and they told me they are all family. Since they were understaffed there was a line out the door.

In June 2021 I got a job and I still work it today. January 2022, I got an e-mail from the company asking me if I was still interested and I said yes. They asked me to fill out another application, I listed 60K as my salary requirements.

I said send me the documents and…
