Either that or "we are a thinly disguised pyramid scheme".

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ah yes. That's a different kind of ad.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Or, did we mention it was commission-only?

That's probably more what I mean with financial services gigs. Feels pyramid schemy to me, though.

Yeah, I got a lot of mass emails for insurance sales positions. Obviously they hadn't read my resume. I went on one interview, because I hadn't gotten the swing of it, and I couldn't believe the cattle call and the amount they weren't telling you about the gig.

I was pretty shocked at how much the one I went to resembled the direct sales orientation I'd had years before. Sadly, those ads make up the bulk of what I come across as open positions in Finance, though it does make a difference were I am doing the looking.

Could someone clean the kitchen? I tried convincing the cat, but it didn't work.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Ha! The problem there is that the ad is calling for a "hard-working" person, and I believe I've demonstrated that I make the three-toed sloth look industrious.
They poo just once a week and do so little to clean their fur that they have algae growing in it. You have a ways to go, my friend.

I apparently was sharing a lane with a Matt Saracen doppleganger. Resemblance was freaky!
