Kat (former Lululemon employee)

I think we've all seen the type of person who is super into yoga because there's darkness lurking and gets super into exercise generally because there's darkness lurking and there's anger there.

That's a woman named Kat.

She used to work at a Lululemon store.

And there is at Lululemon this culture of intensity, like you're going to your workout classes and you're wearing the clothes and you are setting your goals and you're going to achieve your goals.

And I can see how like it's not a lot of lackadaisical laissez-faire kind of personalities.

Kat worked at Lululemon on a pretty street in Soho, in New York.

Back then, she had just graduated college.

She was an aspiring writer, new in the city, in need of a job.

So I figured I should get a retail job, and the Lululemon was hiring.

I knew nothing about Lululemon, really.

Like, I knew that sort of basic girls wore it, but I didn't own anything by it.

Kat didn't know that the company culture and some of the people there would be kind of intense.

So I went to my interview, which looking back on was fully crazy.

Like it was a group interview and they sat us down on the floor in a circle.

And I was definitely the only person who didn't own anything by the brand.

And I remember there was this one lady who had just quit her corporate job to come work at Lululemon because she was so obsessed with the brand and so obsessed with product.

And she was wearing head to toe Lululemon and knew everything about it.

And she

really wanted that job.

But hilariously, I got it because at the time they were introducing running clothes and I was a runner.
