"You start off at a competitive salary"
I guess that means all trainees have to compete at the end of month and the winner gets paid

[silentw]

So true. “Entry level”

Must have 2 years experience

[mikesuarez]

“Competitive pay” means they’re competing to see which company can get away with paying the least.

[joelman]

False. Not enough talking about how “we’re a family” and “we work hard and play hard.”

[austinwilkerson]

The only thing missing are the “parties” and “free donuts” whenever productivity milestones are met… you know, instead of bonuses or pay increases.

Entry-level job: "Sorry, we're looking for someone with a few years experience."
I don't think they know what 'entry level' means.

[lazychords]

This is accurate. When I was interviewing for a job I requested a higher pay due to their pay not covering the lowest rent in a 50 mile radius. They came back and said “you seem to be only in this for the money”. Yeah bec that is all our agreement as employee and employer. You give me money to live. I give you my 8 hours a day for 5 days of my life for financial compensation to live in this society and economy.

Jobs: we need punctuality! We need dependability!
Also jobs: *won’t send a follow up message from an interview until three weeks later and they just want to have another interview*

"I think my microphone was muted. Did you get all that, though?"

Jesus...How can something be so absurd and yet so accurate?

[potaterjim]

"By the way, how much does this job pay anyway?"
"Listen we aren't interested in employees who are only in it for the money"

[NyxesRealms]

"We start you at a competitive salary then over time you can work your way up to minimum wage" I felt this in my soul.

[Brendanj]

Nothing will ever surpass an "entry" level job in my field that required a PhD, 4 years of experience(couldn't be replaced with schooling) and only paid $35k and was only temporary.

"Let's say it was tough for your generation, does that mean it should be tough for all generations to come?" Ryan just became my favorite person

The boss touching his mask and wearing it improperly is painfully accurate

[LK]

When I graduated from grad school (with an additional 5 years of work experience) a company tried to convince me that they weren't interested in hiring people concerned about money and that this was all about being a part of a "family".... the company being the family. I told him there was no way I would even consider pursuing the interview further if he was unwilling to give me a salary range for the position (after telling him what range I was looking for). So we ended it right there. 3 months later he called me asking if I'd found a job yet (I did and at the salary I wanted) and if I had any friends looking for a job. Surprise surprise they hadn't found anyone to fill that position. You reap what you sow.

"Yeah, that was 'up to' $30 an hour. You'll be getting $7.25."
"How would someone qualified for the $30/hr?"
"Be the owner's nephew."

*"You can work your way up to minimum wage"*


That hurts, Ryan

“This software has existed for about 2 years, but we require 5 years experience in it.”

[Nefariously_ignorant]

The employer saying it was tough for his generation too while there's a flood exacerbated by an existential threat behind him is the best depiction for that whole generation

[fuzzwobble]

I love how the '5 years experience with software that's only existed for 2 years' is in there. This literally has been a thing with certain companies and has been ruthlessly mocked for years.
