My underemployed ADD enby ass can‘t belive this!
Applied to an Onlinemarketing position 4 Beauty Product Company X. Got an interview, it went well. I specifically asked if it is required to be into hair/make-up. They said no, it‘s not.
They called and demanded a second video chat interview: on the spot, almost no preparation (4 hrs) and I had to bootstrap an „interview space“ at my current work. I was looking like shit and was rather tired as fuck after a full day of work. It didn‘t go as well...
I didnt get the position, I „don‘t fit in with the rest of the team“. Pretty sure that is due to me asking why they don‘t hire more men or people who are less the make-up addict type.
Context: Im nonbinary and make-up has always made me feel super disphoric 🙃
They called me yet again yesterday and offered me a freelance job as a ....
hold on.....
....beauty blogger.
Because supposedly they need non-conventional viewpoints on it. WTF?
My enby ass is trying to think how to turn them down in the most „fuck you“ way possible. Like not good enough because too weird/gay/enby for your team? Yet you want to profit from who I am as a person? WTF company X!
Throwback to this shit because it didn’t get less ridiculous in retrospect. For context I didn’t come out to them as anything during the first interview round. (Tried to pass as cis,NT,straight by omission.)
We created a diversity position for you specifically. You can do unboxing videos, be clueless about what the products are and it’s gonna be great fun 🙃.
Unfortunately, you have to understand that we can’t pay you much. You would work full-time hours for us and receive money, wouldn’t that be great? It would be less than an internship salary though.
Also you would gave to sign off your rights to your content to us, both in video and written form. You would have to agree to try every single product on camera on your own skin.
For that purpose you would have to sign in as per contract that you are obliged to show as much skin as necessary for the task at hand. We hope that is okay for …like…people “like you” right?
It’s going to be hilarious, people will love it, we’re trying a new thing where we try to make people laugh with our socials.
Dear make-up company. My application was for another position. Fuck you for even trying to exploit my labour. Fuck you all for repeatedly calling me “one of your lot”, “your sorts” and “types like you” in the interview process. Fuck you for coming up with even the IDEA to put a horrified twenty-something on your socials with the sole purpose of RIDICULE to their gender and identity for marketing purposes.
Go fuck yourself with a cactus, all of you
- sincerely, a several years older me.
