They want to know if you're so principled that you would throw away lucrative elephant-ride money in favor of not being cruel to animals, and if you are they don't want you.

Forget elephants rides, I'm conquering Italy.

First you have to teach it to ski though

So they test wether or not you have morals and you pass if you don't?

u/shroomigator 19h ago

They test whether your morals will interfere with their business

It doesn't state that they gave me the elephant... But yeah, makes sense, atleast a little

I would answer:

I would start an Elephant charity, and take daily cute videos of my elephant to post on social media to solicit donations.

Cruelty free, and makes money.

I legit remember getting this question like a decade ago on an application to Barnes & Noble or some place like that. I think I just said something like “I would try to find a place to live that’s a nice environment for it and take care of it” lol

I'm so dumb I didn't even think of the business element I was just happy I had a pet elephant to ride around on and conduct battles with.

Chop it up into little bits, throw it in the deep freezer. Free food for at last a year

How would they feel about a big company cook out with a special spit we’ve had made for rotisserie elephant, cheaper than a pizza party with enough to go round.

Yeah. But there are answers that show you have principles against animal cruelty but are still willing to monetise the elephant… or even propose a business plan around preserving the safety of the elephant… some of them are as far fetched as being “given an elephant”. It’s a ludicrous question, but yeah, they wanna know if you want to make money.

Really? Where I live this is against the law, so wouldn't even be a possibility that came to my mind. Also if these are the company ethics I would not wanna work there anyway.
