People had applied at that point. They are still advertising like crazy. I guess this gives them a large pool of applicants to pick only the best haters. How large is this army going to be? Disgusting!

That, and the frantic rate at which they're running these ads tells me that Secretary Puppy Killer is getting desperate for new thugs to do her dirty work.

You'd think they'd have had enough takers by now. Apparently not. Nobody wants to be a part of that horror show.

No sign on bonus
No debt forgiveness
No permanent position
