    "Not trying to get free work" said the guy desperately trying to get free work

    Makes me think of stories I'd hear about tech companies doing sham interviews so they could get interviewees to give them free bits of code

      I moved to Tokyo without a job so I had to hustle to get an English teaching job before my visa expired. One interview I had was very, very strange. Long story short...

      The very small English conversation school had a weekly "party" and the teacher who should be there wasn't going to show up so the owner had me pitch hit without telling me. The interview was a sham. There was no chance for a job. The owner needed an native English speaker with a pulse to be there to speak English. After five uncomfortable minutes - I figured that out and I made an excuse to leave.

            I dunno, but it is the same account that was in the Trent Reznor thread where they were trying a bit too hard to play devil's advocate for Musk's dumb ass so...
