  • I applied for a tech job with AT&T years ago. It was nuts. They had a big bunch of us meet at an office building for testing. Before we started the tests, this woman spoke to us, talking up the company, telling us how lucky we’d be to get a job there, etc. I think she’d brought a couple other people to tell us how great it was. Then she casually mentioned that they had a ridiculously high turnover rate because they fire people for just about anything, which is why they’re always hiring. If you’re late one day because you have a flat tire, or miss one day because you’re sick, even with a doctor’s note, you’re fired. The test was simple. I finished it quickly and got everything right, but when they emailed me to set up a second meeting, I just deleted it. No way would I want a job like that.
