I wouldn't want to work anywhere that would reward choosing pizza hut.
I guess it was only a matter of time before "openly bribing prospective employers" was the norm
This is just so bizarre. As an applicant, why the hell would I want to use my ex/current-employer as channel for my next one? As an employer, I would probably be annoyed.
Is there something particular with NYC culture which makes this anything but weird and out of touch?
Is no one allowed to have fun anymore? Sheesh
When are job searches fun?
proves you are too lazy to bring your resume to the office.

Apoorva Mehta founded Instacart in 2012 at age 26. He tried to apply for funding through Y Combinator but missed the deadline. He eventually got a meeting by using the Instacart mobile app to deliver a six-pack of beer from 21st Amendment Brewery to a Y Combinator partner[10] and was admitted to the summer of 2012 batch.[12] Y Combinator helped Mehta raise $2.3 million in funding[10] and enabled him to meet his two co-founders, Max Mullen and Brandon Leonardo.[11]
Gonna be hard to get that into Workday
Only in NYC from Sep 17 to 22
And to choose to send a prospective employer Pizza Hut pizza in NYC should disqualify any applicant.
We all know the best place to get a New York slice is Sbarro.
I may not have much NYC pizza experience (NJ FTW) but in my opinion there's good pizza and great pizza -- rarely bad pizza! If I was having a pizza-less day and suddenly got one of these, it'd definitely be a +1 :)
(Tounge-in-cheek from a dude who loves pizza and has been refining a home recipe every Friday for the last few years).
Depends on if it’s stuffed crust or not.
nah, its like a cat offering you half a mouse. the intent is kind, even if yiu find the actual offering repulsive.
besides, have you ever tried it? Its really not that bad.
avoid the Pizza Hut tho.
John Dough, LOL
Dear Miss Manners,
I have a question about tipping a pizza delivery driver...
