Yeah - what money asshole? That should be posted in your ad.
Considering the number of companies that are posting job descriptions for $80k/yr jobs and calling them āentry levelā the amount of indignation in that HR response is entirely unwarranted.
Was catching up on Christmas videos, and Samantha Bee had a story about the workers who toil during the holidays:
Iām confused. $80k a year would be great for an entry level job in just about any field, no?
It would be, if thatās what they were offering, but it sounds like they were offering quite a bit less than thatā¦and then saying that they donāt even post the salary in the ads to avoid people who are āonly in it for the money.ā
I think it depends on where you liveā¦ while 80,000K would be great in places that I grew up or currently live, I doubt that would go nearly as far in modern day San Fran or NYC.
The qualifications list like an $80k jobā¦and they are listing it as entry level because they are only going to pay $30k.
Something like: in this position, you will be overseeing all aspects of regulatory and compliance for our manufacturing facilities across the globeā¦Masters degree required, MBA preferredā¦10 years of experience, at least 5 years of which is in microelectronics manufacturingā¦this is an entry-level positionā¦
Ah, got it, that is shitty behavior indeed.
Thanks for the explanation.
This is similar to what the one and only restaurant owner I worked for used to do. He would hire a server, and then pile on the responsibility as if they were a manager, and get away with paying the 2 odd dollars minimum wage while taking off and leaving them alone with the kitchen staff to run the place themselves.
āAt a company he fucking owns.ā
Wealth engenders selfish irresponsibility. And yet weāre supposed to applaud and honor the wealthy, who generally have a moral and ethical status thatās lower than that of a pack of snarling, flesh-ripping hyenas.
May the new year bring ever heightened awareness of such mass delusions.
I hope managementās encouragement is returned manyfold.
Smart, Alex!
