since my current workplace is ruled by a narcissistic bully, I'm always looking for a better alternative. No sooner said than done, a job looked promising, got the call and the invitation right away. In Germany, we first use “Sie” as a polite form of address, then maybe at some point “du” = you. They offered me “du” directly, which I find strange. They then showed me all the offices, which individual offices were with the hottest equipment, expensive Apple PCs and so on. Until we came to my future desk. 1st shock: I am supposed to share an office with an overweight elderly lady. 2nd shock, the monitors were at least 10 years old, one chair was missing an armrest…that was enough for me to say no…plus they kept emphasizing what a great family they were and how happy everyone would be. That too was cringe
had to get this off my chest
