Just a rat in a cage
There was a promotions company that needed a graphic designer to add to their team of four.
We were walking and interviewing, so they could show me the office, and they got to where I would be working.
It was a closet.
There were four people in there, desks pushed along every wall. The back of their chairs touched, they were so crammed close together. Their MacBook screens were edge to edge all the way around. There were no lights.
I repeat: literally no lights.
They looked up at us as we opened the door with giant computer screen glowing eyeballs. It was the creepiest and most bizarre workspace I’d ever seen. When we started walking back to the interviewer’s office, I basically said I had to go.
