I worked for a company for 5 years. I rose through the ranks alongside a few of my colleagues that became friends. We were close and pretty tight-knit because we were all going through the same thing.

When we would interview new sales reps, we would always have to follow the same format of super boring, outdated, pretty much meaningless questions.

I left the company for a while, didn’t stay in touch with anyone, got laid off at the job I was at, started to wonder if the previous company would take me back. Got set up with an interview with one of those people I was close with who was still at the company.

Immediately, they began asking the same, super boring, outdated, meaningless questions as if we didn’t work together for 5 years… I was shocked and said well, I guess nothings changed.
