Hunting for a job hasn’t been easy in my lifetime, but these days it seems downright ridiculous. I mean, pick your reasons. The pandemic, the job market, the fact that the cost of living keep going way up past the increase of the minimum wage. It ain’t easy out there.
Also, these are a lot of your options. Job listing from people who have completely lost touch with reality. “No one wants to work anymore?” Really? Can you blame them?
1. Wallethub says in job description must be willing to work 55 hour weeks. Otherwise I guess you don’t “work hard”.
2. Seen in a job description for a marketing role on LinkedIn… How is this ok?
3. Imagine working for a company that misspells on their job description *and* demands you sign up for their crappy MLM as a “benefit”
4. The Job Description Wasn’t Horrible…Until I Read the Last Line
5. The amount of red flags in this job description alone

7. And they call us “unprofessional” with a job description like this…
8. so you’re the receptionist. and the sales department. and the housekeeper. and a shill during your free time. because when you work at a “spa-like” California plastic surgery office, you should expect minimum wage, abstract job descriptions, and unpaid labor — and MAYBE you’ll get full-time.
9. Definitely know it is a good work environment when the job description name drop in the job post says the last person did a bad job.

11. A job description for an Administrator/Receptionist role I saw a while back while job-hunting. The “person specification” is the creepiest set of requirements I think I’ve ever seen…

15. My company included this tidbit about their toxic expectations in the job description when they posted my position.

17. Saw this job listing for a flyer distributor for an insurance company. When you read the description it says you’ll actually be a mascot. They have this worker out there even on 100 degree days. “Warmer than usual temperatures”

21. Instant red flag when religion is mixed with an office job description
22. So much wrong here, where to begin?
23. Can we post job descriptions here? Job looking specifically for women wants to pay $13 per hour (below minimum wage for LA) and wants “strong knowledge of local laws” despite lower than legal wage.
24. I know you all love toxic work environments! Here’s a job description for a previous employer where I was an unpaid intern.
