Hello Buddy,
A Gen-Z was asked to carry out a 90-minute test before she could be hired and she refused. Her reply:
âThis looks like a lot of work. Without knowing where I stand in the process, Iâm not comfortable spending 90 minutes in Excelâ
Of course, social media was hot with different takes.

The Consequences of Your Name
âAt every single workplace, I have received an email from HR the week before I start letting me know that my name does not exactly fit the company email structure as they would intend.â - Hart said.
She always faces this challenge whenever she lands a new job. Her full name is Samantha Hart and you may think âBut that's not a bad nameâ.
Well, most companies only use the initials in a name when creating an email address for new employees, so her name becomes âShartâ. I don't think you'd like to know what that means đ
The comments on her video would make you roll on the floor.
"As Swallo, I feel your pain," Samantha Wallo replied.
Whatever you do and I'm on my knees, don't give your children names that'd make them explain why their initials are âshartâ or âswalloâ.
Please đ¤˛
