Hold on: this might look bad, but consider the importance of the mission.

This is Wayfair we're talking about! People jump at the chance to change the world by going to work for Wayfair!

I know that if I worked there, I'd wake up every day knowing that people are counting on me. Counting on me to buy brik-a-brak that they may not remember ordering when it arrives. Counting on me to buy a kids desk that they find is actually smaller than they realized, and then throw out. Counting on me to buy a wedding gift that will get sold for $10 on Craigslist unopened.

That's the kind of purpose that everyone goes to Wayfair with, right? In a world of runaway climate change and empires in decline, who wouldn't work longer hours for THE Wayfair?? /S
