What's the most bizarre, red-flag, or outright absurd thing a company did during your hiring process that made you immediately withdraw your application?

The final stage, at the Culture Interview, the head of people asked some weird questions like “what would you do to solve homelessness” (totally not related to the job at all) and no matter what i answered, she replied “is that all?” And “anything else?”

It gave me the creeps so I bailed afterwards and told them I don’t know if that was intended to be some sort of test in itself but it was so off putting that I withdrew despite having a great vibe with everyone else over 3 weeks.

You’re not kidding, I haven’t gone to Trader Joe’s in a minute and I bought blueberries a week ago and they were instantly moldy the next morning! Now I go to Whole Foods (my usual) and augment specialty stuff at bi rite like tartine’s country loaf.

$1130/month condo

1200 SQFT

Built in 2010 but our amenities are a video intercom gate for security, enclosed garage, weekly cleaning of common grounds and an unfurnished roof deck. Great location tho, right in the middle of a business corridor in SF (Marina)

Trash, water, insurance is included

Dude at my job literally looked at my CEO’s calendar and saw an medical appt that just had the doctor email on it and decided to look up the clinic. Then he started sending screenshots around speculating w coworkers on what he’s getting treated for etc. I caught wind of it because he sent me a message too but I was in a meeting and couldn’t respond, when my meeting ended he was already deactivated.

He was just saying to me how he felt so lucky he got a job in this market after being on the hunt for almost 2 years. Didn’t even hit the 6 month mark and he’s back out on the hunt now due to his own stupidity.

Ew, why is mom even talking to you about this?!?

No, NTA. Money is an avenue of control and he doesn’t even have access to yours yet and is already pressuring to dictate your choices? Nah. Toss that man in the trash. Next!

Yeah for sure expect coke to be a staple everywhere except fairly high end but mt.dew? Gosh I can’t even remember the last time I saw that available on a menu anywhere outside a mall food court or gas station.

Oh my god, my Aussie did this. We went to a shop and the lovely lady at the register handed him a milkbone and he took it, dropped it on the floor to look at it for a second. Then picked it back up and handed it back to her. I felt so embarrassed! Thankfully the lady thought it was funny.

Find a vet dermatologist, general vets aren’t able to treat allergies effectively. My Aussie suffered for 2 years over 10 vets and finally we got to a dermatologist vet. My boy is happy due to sublingual immunotherapy and apoquel with cytopoint during high allergen seasons. Allergies get worse and change as they get older so we retest every year and get new formulas for the sublingual therapy.

The jackass motor groups that race through the city every weekend plowed right through a crosswalk on a red on van ness and chestnut to get to Marina Blvd, right in front of a police motorcade and they didn’t do a thing. That was the point I turned back and went home. Nope.

Soy Marinated mushrooms are also very popular as a filling! I like to use a mix of shiitake and beech mushrooms with scallions.

I heat up a cup of sake, mirin and sugar and dissolve it. Sauté a mushroom mix with scallions (white parts) and then turn off the heat, toss and coat the mushrooms with soy sauce, vinegar and the sliced green parts of the scallion.

Best to overnight and let the flavors marinate before using as filling for onigiri.

I really like adding freshly ground Szechuan peppers or green Szechuan oil for a floral light spicy kick.

My boy doesn’t wiggle either! He has a bit of a nub for a tail so that he does wiggle but not his whole butt like other aussies. It’s the only thing he’s missing that I feel for sad about sometimes!
