Friend was having a bbq and his grill wasn’t working. So they robbed an industrial kitchen and spent the next few hours grilling meat.

I told him I wasn’t even going to interview him and that he has the job.

He ended up being a ROCKSTAR.

Has anyone ever been leveled down after reaching offer committee?
