Worst Job Interview Yet
Last week I went to an interview for a job I found on Indeed. The job was dispatch for transit and the pay was $18.25 so of course I was interested.

Inside the rise and fall of r/antiwork – the Reddit community that made it OK to quit, but couldn't quite do anything else” by Oliver Whang. Also, in a touch of perfect irony, the multi-billion dollar NYT Company sourced this article to a *freelance college student* studying – not kidding – philosophy.
