Tech woman finally realizes her value after company denies her twice and asks her to apply a third time, respectfully declines: ‘My time is much more valuable than this.’

Being a professional can be hard, but it's the bare minimum way a large company should act. For this professional tech woman, however, she got thrown throw hoops as if this company was a bad ex-boyfriend.  

It all started when she interned for the company. She works in tech and learned all kinds of coding and industry professions for this job. Her work was always praised by her superiors. So when it came time to apply for a full-time position, she jumped at the chance. She was happy with the work she was doing and wanted to continue and grow with that company. 

Unfortunately, they saw that her sister lived abroad so that put her as a "flight risk." How is that even legal? She got denied the job because her sister lived abroad and they thought she was going to leave them to live with her. She tried to explain that she had already started putting roots down and that she had no intentions of leaving. Still, they denied her. 

She moved on and started a new job about a year later. Then they reached out to her telling her to apply for another full-time position with them. She was a little iffy, but she figured why not? Except, they pulled the rug from under here again and denied her for the same reason. Annoying, but whatever, she moved on, again.

THREE YEARS LATER, literally years later, they reach out to her again to apply. The audacity with this company is insane. She couldn't believe it! She decided enough was enough and she was smart enough and living well-off enough at a good job that she deserved better.
