In a now-viral post on Reddit, a woman named Lana said she was rejected for a job because she didn't spell her name backward on her application.
Posting on the social media platform's "Antiwork" forum on Sunday under the username u/Pitiful-Clerk-3750, Lana said the employer asked all candidates to spell their names backward on their applications. However, she refused because her name "literally spells a sexual act when spelled backward."
