This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Why do they do this? Just hire that person if you are going to anyway.

Worked in companies where the owners family for hired for multiple roles. As long as they are not incompetent I don't really care that they didn't send out fake job adverts. If they were incompetent then fake job ads won't help.
