40 Times Recruiters’ True Colors Came Out And Job Seekers Just Had To Shame Them (Best Of All Time)

Fed minimum wage is 7.25

Only going to get worse, now that republicans are going to have the presidency and both houses for, at minimum, the next two years. Think I’m full of s**t saying that? Just read up on history, and see what ALWAYS happens with that combination. Knowledge of the past can actually help you predict the future.

$10 and some change here in shitbag Ohio

For those in the US: If you want your salary to be the recommended 30% of your $1000/month rent, you'd have to make $20.83 an hour. And when was the last time you saw rents at only $1000/month? Edit to add: 20.83 x 40 x 4 = 3332.8 . 1000 / 3332.8 = .3000 . Notice I didn't account for taxes.

Depending on where you live, 13 dollars is a damn decent wage in places like Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida. Long as you're not living in one of the large and thus more expensive cities, you can quite easily live on 13 an hour. Living wage, is relative based on where you live, the number of people working in your household, and if you have any dependents. It's also why you see a higher 'minimum' wage in multiple places. There are places in the nation where it honestly, doesn't cost that much to live, and by the same token, others where it's insanely expensive to live.

CT just went to $16.35 Jan 1, but you need the extra money in your check just to pay bloodsucking Eversource.

I miss Portland . .

Agreed, I interviewed three times for a closer to home position. Once I was being offered the job by the HR person, the salary was less than what I paid in taxes.

Do they then proceed to do the "UP TO $65,000 a year" so they can offer significantly lower once people apply or do they have to actually put the exact amount?

I think it's because of they get an applicant who doesn't know their worth the company can offer less than they would have advertised.

Probably they had two other companies on the deck, and got accepted by one with higher pay. Why not say this instead of focusing on the salary part? Maybe spite, maybe a feeling that this would force you to reconsider the salary, but I am sure they had other, better offers.

Why would anybody do that? (Serious question)

I hear things like ‘how do people who are living on the street have nice clothes, etc?’ You can literally have a full-time job and not be able to afford a place to live. The clothes are practically free by comparison.

In Lithuania you can live a hadsome life for $35k a year. Work remotely, come spend your hard earned money here ^^

My daughter has a full time job with benefits, and her rent for her tiny apartment is so high she can't even afford to save anything. She can't put a down payment on a townhome, much less make car payments. I worry for her, and she won't take money from me ... she worries I will never be able to retire.

It doesn't help matters that many people don't have a good understanding of what an "entry level" position is. That term doesn't always mean the same thing for every single industry. So, for example, an entry level position in a company which does engineering design work, is going to be some type of job that requires a person to have some level of engineering education. On the other hand, a stock trading company's entry level position is going to require a person with some level of a finance background; while an entry level position at a manufacturing company, isn't going to require any experience at all. Basically, "Entry level" doesn't always mean "no experience needed". Rather it means "This is the lowest position at our company."

Totally keeping that one!!!

Nearly choked on my coffee for laughing!

I think "the Luigi treatment" needs to become part of the standard language.

dont forget the CEO and founder of Costco and the CEO of Arizona Tea those both need to be spared. Costco is amazing to there employees. watch the doc or read up on ut. its awesome.

Who is he?

...and inequalities between genders or depending on the colour of your skin.

Employers want it to be secret so they can pay some people less than others. But to be clear, it is absolutely illegal under Federal Law.

Even though this has been a federal law in the US since 1935, it's only recently that it was ever enforced. Most companies had a written policy before 2020 that blatantly broke this law and never realized it.

Here's the law for anyone who needs it: https://www.nlrb.gov/about-nlrb/rights-we-protect/your-rights/your-rights-to-discuss-wages

The only qualification he could put on his resume is his daddy’s sperm.

Amen!!

why do people assume that the CEO of a company must be able to perform any and all positions in their company? that's not a correct understanding of CEOs.

Jealous much????

At one place I worked, the CEO just sat in his office and played video games. Amazingly, that company is bankrupt now.

That's why I liked one manager at a grocery store I worked at. If the lines were long they would open one of the registers and work as a cashier. If the lines were all open but everyone was still swamped (Saturdays) the manager would bag the groceries. On one particularly hectic Saturday when I hadn't had a break he took over for me to allow me to take one. He was a good manager because he did what the store needed and understood that being in a high position means you have more tasks not that you don't have to do the low level tasks.

As you should be. At my job they either bring in someone new, who we all then must teach what we do, or they promote people from other areas - for instance, the human resource manager (yes, the one who hires people) became a deputy director over customer service and technical field support, then our exec. leadership wondered why so many people quit. I don't know - maybe it's because this person had no experience whatsoever with either, didn't know the policies and procedures needed, and doesn't understand tech at all.
