I applied to a (among other techs) nodejs position for a finance company. I asked 5 times in all interviews if it's ok to run linux, just to make sure.

they said yes, and after signing the contract, I was send the instructions via email and company laptop was shipping. In the instructions, I was supposed to work through some remote desktop on a windows machine. fuck me

I instantly resigned, one day before starting.I refused the parcel so it went back to the mothership without me even touching the box
