I am an AirBnb super host with 100% 5* ratings, and this creeps me out. Granted I list a small cottage on Cape Cod and I do not live there so you have it all to yourself. Why do creepy stupid people ruin all the nice things?

For night vision capable cameras such as those that can snoop into bedrooms, they use an IR light to illuminate the area enough to record (much like a flashlight, just in spectrum we cannot see). Turn off the lights in the room, turn on your cell phone’s camera and pan it around. Since your phone can detect IR light,…

And make no mistake, negotiating, whether it be salary or whatever, is a very specific skill, and one an employee might only use once, or once a…

Yet you seem like a joy to work for.

Probably a good thing you wouldn’t hire them, I wouldn’t want to be hired by a company that doesn’t understand humor.
