A Company Cancelled This Woman's Job Interview Because She Asked How Much She'd Be Paid
Apparently, wanting to get paid for work is a 'concern related to organisational fit'.

A food delivery company called SkipTheDishes cancelled a job interview they had with a woman because she asked them about the salary and benefits for the position (Yep!)
The woman, Taylor Byrnes, tweeted that she was told by the HR person that her second interview would be cancelled because her "questions reveal that your priorities are not in sync with those of SkipTheDishes"
The company told her they believe "in hard work and perseverance" as opposed to "focusing on compensation"
Needless to say, the company's response did not go well with people on the Internet. After Taylor tweeted the response, a lot of people were (understandably) outraged.
"we're really looking for more of a one-sided relationship where you care about us and we don't care if you starve and die" https://t.co/Ye8cYqwQ4w

Wait. So asking about WAGES means you’re not a self-starter/aren’t motivated? Jesus fuck. https://t.co/mpqFBjDpRI

TFW wanting to actually get _paid_ for work is a 'concern related to organizational fit'.

I guess wanting to eat is overrated these days. https://t.co/HsjSlkqpkf
After the company started receiving flak from people for their attitude, one of its co-founders reached out to the woman to apologise and offer her the second interview
(1/2) The email to Taylor does not represent #SkipTheDishes team values. We have followed up to offer heartfelt apologies & a 2nd interview. pic.twitter.com/XKYWsHXj7P
