u/Whole-Regret2346

At this point in my life, I feel it is definitely racially motivated because I'm the only non-white in my 'family' thus I am the only one treated this way. I'm never taken seriously, and/or anything I say is outright ignored. And when a relevant issue comes up later, they all turn to me like it's my fault that I didn't tell them anything even though I had. Or all my life growing up and still now, I am used to do things for everyone like a slave. Oh you aren't doing anything? Go pick up sticks or wipe wood. Yea I'm not joking about wiping wood. Sounds abhorrently stupid because it is since my AP long ran out of real things for me to do for them so they are pulling anything out of their ass at this point

Meanwhile the most recent achievement is my cousin who graduated at the same time as me and is taking time off between his life of school before transitioning to working until we die, to travel and do things he wants to do. 'Oh wow good for him!', 'Such a hard working kid!', 'He deserves it!', etc etc. Turns to me, 'since you're not even trying to apply to jobs you can go drop off more of my dry cleaning and pick up the last load' and the next order after the next and so on. Obviously all I’ve been doing is applying for jobs since I graduated despite this rundown market. Cousin gets job out of nepotism and family connections

This has to be some type of bias and favouritism because biological relative nonsense blah blah. I'm looked down on and treated like a slave my whole life. 'Oh don't worry about that, [Whole-Regret2346] will help pick it up for you/clean this up'

Especially at night but you have no one to talk to? And you have 'friends' but they are not real friends because I said I have no one to truly talk with?

TLDR: Someone has asked this but the comments were eh so I’ll try asking this time, is Catalyst Corporation in Oak Brook, IL a devilcorp and should I just stop talking to them right now?

I am like over 95% sure now but I would like to see what others think and I guess I want some validation in that I am making the right choice thinking about calling it off like saying I got another offer to get them off my case

ETA: while applying to corporate positions, I applied to an ‘entry level marketing associate’ at Catalyst Corporation in Oak Brook, IL

So it started with me waking up to a text a few days ago by a woman texting me for an interview. In short, I was going to wait because obv juggling other jobs in my hunt for a one, but she ended up calling me literally the same day. Obv at first I didn’t know it was her but it was. Strange that the number that called was different from the number that texted. Work phone stuff could probably explain that, maybe. But 1st potential flag

Anyway, I answered, it was her. Unsurprising friendliness, blah blah, she’s like ok can we go ahead and schedule interview. I admit this was so sudden that I went and just said yes even though in my mind I was like erm I didn’t give you an answer. That was the 2nd potential flag for me

Between that call and the interview I had this morning, I was trying to do research on their company. This lead me to learn about ‘devilcorps’. I’ve never heard of that word before. There’s a post asking about this company from like a month ago but answers are iffy but they did make my suspicion stronger. I kept digging and comments would say they do this this that etc. 3rd flag potentially

4th potential flag. Interview this morning. Different person I talked to. She mentioned there were 40-50+ other applicants after me. My interview was at 9:45am and it’s almost 2pm here. Which raised my suspicion I don’t think she could have gone through all of them unless there were multiple people in her position. I really don’t know how I felt abt the interview. It really was a mix of this seems legit but she did say exactly the things I’ve read in the comments in this sub. The best way to describe is she answered my questions like a politician, didn’t answer. For example, I asked what does a typical day look like. She said, in summary, I would go to hq in the morning for a meeting then go out to events…what events? I asked her about how the compensation works in the sense will I be paid hourly, or do I have a salary; she just repeated that I earn this much and depends on commission work which I also read is a red flag

So after all this, actually I’m typing this after I just got a call from the first girl again. She said basically omg we loved u and wanna move forward with the in-person interview, can I come tomorrow at 9am. At this point I’m like the signs are signing but hold on, so I told her I won’t be available the rest of this week (which is true) so she tried pushing for as soon as possible next week. I basically asked if I can get back to her on that. She said yea so now I’m here.

I think another reason why I can’t commit to decision yet is because despite trying to research devilcorps, mlm, pyramid schemes, whatever, I haven’t fully grasped an understanding on if they are or how can I tell.

Yes, I guess these are all flags but I guess I just want more of a concrete answer of whether I’m about to make a mistake if I accept the 2nd round interview.

Lwk paranoid, if someone from there sees this, oh well, I probably am going to tell them I’m unfortunately unavailable

I’m aware that it’s a long and complicated process but I’m still curious. Does anyone know the steps to do this?

Edit: I think the correct term is ‘annul’ but what would I know.

I’ve never understood the over hype on birthdays nor have I ever seemed to care other than birthdays are just a tracker of your age. I’m half sure it’s because the birthday on my papers is just something they made up for the sake of filling in that required blank box. Therefore it’s not special and never seemed important to me. I also get annoyed when people make a big deal out of it. Probably also because of jealousy since nothing about me is real.
