Somehow, the whole conversation was about work, business, economics etc. and he brought me to his office. I thought we will just explore the office then leave and maybe idk, just walk about and chill or something But instead, we sat in the office and he started introducing the products the company was selling - some water filtration system, I'm obviously not very interested in talking about water filtration systems lol
The conversation was somehow like econs lecture + chem spa.
He showed me presentation slides (printed on paper), tried to mindmap/draw a flow chart out to explain how his company works. + The benefits of the water filtration system and the demos which reminded me of chem spa because it was like doing mini experiments, putting stuff in water and observe change.
He talked to me like I was a kid. Actually, I DON'T LIKE PEOPLE TALKING TO ME LIKE I'M A KID although I know I look like one lah hahaha He kept saying "ok I let you play with this" and he just asked me to do the mini experiment to prove how efficient the water filtration system is. Ok but I appreciated it - him introducing his job to me and stuff
Then I thought that was the end of it, after the experiments and stuff. But he brought me to his manager and................ his manager kept asking me what are my goals in life/what I plan to do in future, all the serious talk. Before his manager came, I told my senior that I really don't want to waste anybody's time because I'm just clearly not interested in the job or the product. I think his manager probably felt exasperated talking to me.
Their job is supposedly something that'll allow you to climb up the ranks really quickly and you can actually earn a car after you hit that certain number of products. So she asked me something about cars and I just replied flatly saying I don't intend to drive
Then she asked me about my expenses when I go out but she used the example on clubbing, she said something like some of her friends skip clubbing because its expensive and I guess its supposedly something that's like "oh what a pity, you don't have enough to club. So maybe you should join the company." I almost wanted to reply "I don't club so I won't have that problem"
lol Idk, I knew that whatever she said made sense. The part on having plans for the future and having goals in life, getting a headstart in your career when you're young etc.
but I don't know how many times I've said it, "I'm not thinking that far in life yet."
I know my mentality isn't right but........... I can't help it, I can't help that I'm really NOT INTERESTED in your job offer or your water filtration system. Anyway, the convo made me feel really small and dumb. I hate talking about all these serious shit. I come out with the intention to chill, not to talk about salary...work... water filtration systems.
I felt really really really awful for rejecting the manager's offer because I could tell she was trying really hard to sell me her product and stuff but...... :/
Told my senior I felt bad for wasting his manager's time on me too but he said it was ok because its normal, not everyone will buy the product/join the company.
