I asked one for an update because I hadn’t heard from them in a month and they tried gaslighting me by saying that they were confused by my email because they emailed me the week before but when they checked it was in their drafts 😒

What’s more of an irritant? A “funny” squid game theme lateral email or a regular professional one?

The recruiters are cray.

But I think Amazon who wants me to go work as a warehouse employee has been my favorite. They email me probably once a week.

I could make $18/hr guys!
