Demonstrating commitment to joining the company

This work is a sequel to the already released "The final interview in the pool".

During the final interview, held in a pool, the female candidate succeeded in satisfying the interviewer and was immediately offered a job on the spot. Overwhelmed with joy, she expressed their eagerness to accept, only to be faced with an unexpected condition from the interviewer.

The condition required the candidate to shred their soon-to-be-unneeded recruitment suit right then and there, gather the torn pieces, and present them to the interviewer. This act of destruction served as a symbolic declaration of commitment and was a unique initiation ritual of the company.

Caught off guard by the unusual ritual, she now understood why the company had been instructed to bring a change of clothes to the final interview location. Nodding quietly, she whispered, "Yes…" and prepared to accept the fate that awaited her.

Though aware of what was about to happen, she felt resistance toward tearing apart the suit she had grown fond of throughout the job-hunting. Yet, without hesitation, the interviewer declared he would cut the skirt and, in one sweeping motion, sliced through the front and back with scissors.

At this point, there was no turning back. Handed a pair of scissors, she then took on the task, cutting through the skirt, jacket, and even the blouse, leaving them in a state of disheveled disarray. As she looked at herself, dressed in tatters, a wave of embarrassment came over her.
