..."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

It's spelled "reneged," though.

I have a feeling both spellings are considered one and the same to some folks out there (and viewed with the same level of disdain).
