Asked Quote by M.L. Young
““Jeff then proceeded to ask me a few questions, mainly dealing with how I’d react in certain situations, what I’d do if I saw a fellow employee stealing, and just general questions I was asked at my last job. I guess he wanted to make sure I was morally sound and not somebody who was going to steal paperclips and sell them on the black market.””
