Is it just me, or have job listings become straight-up threats disguised as “opportunities”?
“Fast-paced environment” = We’re going to overwork you and blame you when you burn out.
“Must be available on weekends” = We will pay you for 40 hours but expect 60+.
“Competitive salary” = You’re competing with your bills, not other employees.
“We’re a family” = You will be guilt-tripped into working late, but there’s no inheritance.
“Must have a passion for the job” = We’re not paying enough, so please let your self-worth take the hit instead.
At this point, applying for jobs feels like negotiating with kidnappers. Like, blink twice if you’re willing to disclose the pay upfront.
