Looking for a job is stressful, especially right now. It seems like more and more, people are finally fed up with working for awful employers, and they should be.
When someone says, “No one wants to work anymore,” all I can think to myself is, “they do, they just want to be treated fairly.”
So, if you’re wondering, these awful job descriptions people are sharing should be a good indicator of why “no one wants to work” anymore.
1. “the audacity of this behance job listing lmao”
2. “Please Respect This”
3. “Less as possible”
4. “Salon needs an unpaid intern to be a front end developer, designer, social media manager. (I looked, this “job” 100%, absolutely, definitively does NOT meet the legal obligations of an unpaid internship – surprise)”
5. “Looking for a Film Crew to work two weeks for free but can’t be bothered to type the word before”
6. “why do companies think this would be ok to write on the job listing and how much worse will reality be”
7. “IT job listing requires 4 months of unpaid training for a 2 month internship”
8. “Job wanted: minimum 5 years experience and a list of requirements that would have cost a lot of time and money into developing. Payment: lol”
9. “This job listing”
10. “This job was posted as “Executive Assistant” sounds more like they need a nanny and a housesitter. The salary was listed between 30,000 and 70,000. Not suspicious at all.”
11. “An employer with an insane list of requirements for a strenuous and dangerous job… That only pays $8.50 an hour.”
12. “Must have 5+ years INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE for consideration”
13. “Shockingly, this company can’t find anyone with ‘thick skin’ willing to work 8-5 and be available to respond to email and calls for the rest of their waking hours. It was just posted for the 4th time on a local job bank.”
14. “New box clothing company has high expectations, but laughable pay”
15. “THIS IS AN ENTRY LEVEL POSITION WITH ENTRY LEVEL PAY”
16. “Not a hard worker? Stop reading now.” A sassy job posting.
17. “As a writer desperately seeking freelance work, this is downright insulting.”
18. “This job post that i found that requires 2 year of QA experience for only 20K a year”
19. “All of those requirements… wonder what they’d pay for that?”
20. “Need help relaunching my company website for exposure and networking and maybe we’ll even hire you!!!”
21. “Welcome to the world of elite rowing: Unpaid coaching job”
