Okay, name and shame. Lemme just step back so that you're steeped in all the context. A childhood friend of mine had a girlfriend who was working on the web team at what is now called Ann Inc. He referred me to her, and she and her co-worker on the same team were my second round interviews. Her manager, a brown woman named either Sanae or Sana (I actually know Sana's from college, but my friend insisted I pronounce her name 'San-ay,' so maybe its not the same name?) who saw me on a Zoom (actually Cisco video conferencing, Zoom is becoming one of those brands that are interchangeable with the whole sphere of a generic idea, like Google and Kleenex), immediately smiled and said no. It was late 2020 and... when things like that happen you're just in shock, and you're also disappointed that, once again, you can't start your career. I don't even know who to call for that, and how would I go about proving it? The story ends with my friends girlfriend and her co-worker quitting and going to work elsewhere, so there was at least that.
