I worked at VS last summer. I am a straight male. A good friend of mine was the merch flow supervisor for this particular store, and she kept bugging me to apply so I did, haha. It started as a joke- I had joked with some guy friends that I would work there, and asked my manager friend what their policy is on hiring males. It seemed like their entire management team wanted me to work there, so I did.

I never got any awkward vibe, even after most of my coworkers found out I'm heterosexual. But, I always wondered why they hired me. Has your store had any straight male employees? Why do you hire us?

I worked in the back pushing merchandise, and a good chunk of my time was spent just buttoning my lip because I'd hear so much gossip that it could make your head spin. A lot of the girls would bash each other, then turn around and be the sweetest things to each other. It was really confusing. Does your store also have a high amount of drama?

Good for you! What makes you so much more special than every other young, tenured engineering professors?
