I once interviewed at a (very) big usenet provider. The job was perl, I knew perl, must be fun.
No.
The job was to implement the byzantine B.S. "discounts" and plan-pricing "deals" that the sales team came up with to most effectively screw the customer.
I declined.
Which is especially hilarious, because Usenet is such a niche thing that the only people using it pretty much already know what they want from the service and know how much it should cost.
“Hey, we’ve made this super niche, not at all necessary, and easily avoidable service. Let’s do everything we can to be hostile towards our customers!”
