Translation: we hired incompetent insecure assholes into management positions and can't get rid of them for some reason, can you tolerate their bullshit and manage their egos
or the classic "we wanted to downsize the employee budget to pad the CEOs salary, so we fired half our staff and the remaining plebs do twice the work because fuck you thats why"
From a surveyors experience, replace ‘we’ with ‘they’ and continue as before.
Give it your 110% and we'll demand 120%!
And don't think that 120% will grant you a raise either! Inflation will eat 5% of your paycheck each year!
You're lucky if it's only 5% in this economy!
"Do you want to be an infinitely productive profit maker for the company at your own expense?"
not remotely
"Oh good because we don't allow work-from-home. Can't miss out on that in-person SYNERGY."
"I can make a hundred trillion calculation per second and they're all wrong"
Well if that's the bar I can do 150 trillion wrong calculations!
Beaten by math! My only weakness!!
“We’re a family company”
=> some of the worst backstabbing I’ve ever seen. Glad to have left that behind.
We're just like a family.
Any time there's an emergency, day or night, you're supposed immediately to drop everything to take care of us and demand nothing in return.
Same here! "We're a family". It was an abusive relationship where the CEO was the narcissistic abuser. God he treated everyone like crap in that place.
I see the same job market terminology hasn't changed generationally.
Tell me, are 21 year olds still meeting the challenge to "thrive under pressure" for $10 an hour more than their fast food friends?
No, now it's only $3.50 a hour more than a fast food job with unpaid overtime.
It's funny when you see job postings for where you work. I saw one for where I'm at (a ghost job, since there's a hiring freeze) that said like "join a highly functional team". Lady, this team can barely push code that doesn't have syntax errors.
Side note: posting jobs with no intention to hire (aka a ghost job) should be illegal.
Recently saw the place I left a year ago put up a posting. It was word-for-word the same as the job I applied for 4 years previously but it had an extra sentence: MUST HAVE A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOUR.
This is code for: MUST BE OKAY WITH THE OWNER'S RAMPANT HOMO AND TRANS PHOBIA.
I had a recruiter call me up and ask me how I hadn’t found a job with all these postings. Like, lady, they’re not real!
Are you DESPERATE ENOUGH to WORK HERE!?
WE’RE A FAMILY. Now go to your cubicle without enough pay to afford dinner.
Ask them to feed you since they're family.
Do you want to pay me like i'm in a fast paced break everything environment where i'm going have to put up with a lot of shit?
Oh GOD no
>looks inside
>office job
Let's work towards not working at all! Crazy as it sounds.
I have a plan, it's stupid good!
When they also say "We're one big family here!". They don't say it's a dysfunctional one. 🌚
I want to work at a CHILL JOB where I can TAKE IT EASY and FINISH WHENEVER.
Job postings should not make the job sound overly appealing. They should give you an idea of if it would be a good fit for you as a potential applicant.
I saw "payment on time" stated as what the position offers. Or "free parking". I once read an offer that tried to suggest "working shifts" is a positive.
I just saw that my job advertises that they don’t charge you for the uniform…
Our luxurious bathrooms include TOILET PAPER and RUNNING WATER.
I saw "competitive wage" and it was literally minimum wage 💔
Come work in our suicide factory!

Yeah like srsly? Do you want to pay me a king's ransom?
