Not relevant but at one company, they had a community manager who was into healthy food / digital nativism / positivity / youth. I'd be working and feel her staring at me. I'd look at her in case she said something and I was too focused to hear the first time (it happenend all the time. She was the kind to send you a Slack message and immediately tap on your shoulder to tell you to reply. There were many who explained to her this was not good). She'd keep staring at me and then say "Oh my god. You're sooo fucking old".
It was hilarious that she was actively having this thought and felt too burdened to keep it to herself. I also was 28.
I remember she was handling hiring and would come to the CTO to tell him : "There's this candidate who just applied, but he is like really old. He's 30 years old".
This was delicious. Her mind worked in an intriguing way. It was as if she was talking about someone who had a contagious disease and was too afraid of them giving it to her.
The whole profile was interesting.
