Every job interview these days is like:
“Can you handle working in a high-stress, high-expectation, fast-moving environment?” Like I’m sorry miss, I must’ve applied for the wrong company. You sell cookies. I would be making ads for selling cookies. We’re not running a military operation. No, I don’t want to work in a high-stress, high-expectation, fast-moving environment because your environment doesn’t warrant those expectations.
