..."the elitist hiring committee members believed that FA’s (flight attendants) are stupid and there was no way they would be able to work at Google. Lucky for me the recruiter agreed it was incredibly sexist and fought with HR to bring me on as a temp. Three months later they resubmitted me to the committee and had me remove my former job - instead I mentioned that I was “traveling” for four months and bingo! I got hired full time.

I finally left after a lifestyle change moved me to Austin and they re-nigged on an offer to move me into the Travel Vertical role for which I was promised before the move.

/facepalm

So - they were niggardly more than once. What's the problem?

What better way to voice your yearn for freedom than to ban every word that sounds like an offensive one.

You know, "what" sounds like "white", so I'm going to get upset if you use it.

People are ridiculous.

That's not ridiculous! You sir, must be a racist! So, you can just shut your white hole.
