So good. “When I see a period I’m done” is the most perfect deranged sales guy thought.

Maybe I'm projecting but was it that you didn't feel you deserved a better job, or did you not have any peers, like from college or even high school in a similar industry who could give you insight into the thought process of how Anastasia quit to go work at Google?

I wonder if you would have been happier working at a bigger place with a training program for new employees and more structure.

I actually did work for a company like that later, it didn’t go well lol

lmao what an ending! now u have me reminiscing about how great ASOS was from like 2012-2016. I remember thinking that their slutty going out dresses were cut for girls with big hips and I loved that. I haven’t ordered anything from there in years but i tried on a really great bias cut dress from one of their in-house brands at the thrift recently and it fit like a glove

Was this the crazies place you worked at or is there even more craziness later?

Cartoons Hate Her's avatar

That's a great question. it's certainly up there, but probably not the craziest. It was not the worst place (that's a later article) nor was it the most unethical (also a later article) but PERHAPS the most memorable.

Lmao can’t believe you had to deal with Pilarium pre acquisition.

Like I know you can’t say it’s pilarium but it’s pilarium right?

Edit: sorry I meant playtika lol

What a nice read, really.. I have one burning question: Did you ever meet Vince again under any circumstances? Would love to how his life has played out.

But I guess sometimes there is no second chapter!
