It all started as a corporate fairy tale: smooth assessments, delightful HR chats, and a business case that didn’t make me question my life choices. For a brief, shining moment, it felt like I’d found my dream job. And then… the Final Bosses appeared (cue the horror soundtrack). The first boss skipped pleasantries and came in hot with: “Your video is the most pixelated one I’ve ever seen in my life.” A poetic icebreaker if ever there was one! Forget my qualifications; clearly, the real test was impressing His Majesty with my internet speed. After a quick Wi-Fi reset and some silent groveling to the gods of bandwidth, I returned, only to meet The Expression™, a face that screamed, “I already regret this meeting.” The vibe? Pure “Why are you ruining my day?” The interrogation was an unforgettable mix of bad cop and annoyed teenager. He interrupted, laughed, and made faces like I’d just proposed marketing via carrier pigeons. Somewhere between “I’m bored” and “How are you this dumb?” I realized this wasn’t an interview; it was performance art. By the time he launched into an unsolicited TED Talk on "How to Make Every Applicant Regret Their Choices" I wasn’t sure if I was applying for a job or being cast for Survivor: Corporate Island. And just when I thought it couldn’t get weirder, he dropped the mic with: “You haven’t asked the most important question yet.” Intrigued, I leaned in, curious despite myself. What could it be? The meaning of life? The secret of the universe? Nope. The question was: “What is living in Bangkok like?” My soul briefly left my body. I already knew the answer, as I’d asked about it in the previous rounds of the process, and I even have friends living there, but sure, let’s play along. But wait—there was more! Enter the second final boss, a masterclass in time management. He graced me with his presence a mere 15 minutes late, without acknowledging his tardiness because, apparently, apologies are so last season and punctuality is for peasants. The interview consisted of two groundbreaking questions and the unforgettable sight of him typing and chuckling at what probably was a lively chat with someone far more interesting than me. Naturally, the interview wrapped up early, proving once again that brevity is the soul of... well, something, I’m sure. And with that, I walked away—not with a job, but with a story so juicy it deserves its own Netflix special. I celebrated my survival with a gin and tonic (Bangkok-sized, naturally) and thanked the universe for this glorious tale of corporate absurdity. Because who needs a job when you have a story that will bring down the house at every party?
