Re:Ask HN: What is the worst bullshit thing you were asked to do at $JOB?

Had an interview at Company A, which in itself was a bad experience. 5 people crowded into an office with printouts of my response to a 20-question tech challenge, implying I'd had help with it/cheated.
I was invited back for an "extended interview" on a Saturday, "compensated, of course", where I did sysadmin stuff including setting up a work email for myself.
Taken out for lunch by the guy running my "interview" who bought me a burger, and said "He (the CEO) is a bit cavalier in making promises, so I want to make sure you get something out of today".
So basically I was paid a burger to onboard myself on a Saturday. A week later I'd received an offer from elsewhere, informed Company A, and got the saltiest email from their CEO about my unethical behaviour.

There are 0 unicorns and 3.9 billion women out there. Many of those are dateable. I can see why somebody would think like you if they've been single for a long time, but my experience has been that arranging dates in my mid-late twenties and early thirties is easier than ever.

And no mention of the unreciprocated romantic interest, which to me is the most interesting facet of their relationship.
