        I don't need to. This kind of shit is all over LinkedIn, with application forms attached. It's a thing.

        Please love yourself.

          My bet is that it wouldn’t take much to see that you’re not really interested in the job… I see about 15 a month and our operations manager sees around 200.

                nope. Seen them. That's come work for nothing and if it works out we might trickle down a little bit to you, but not much.

                  I guess the unemployed masses are just being lazy. I mean, look, they're offering a whole dinner maybe sometime!

                      And that’s representative of most jobs out there? I don’t think so… We’re offering $25 per hour for warehouse help. Overtime at time and a half (opportunity for about 10 hours per week), paid vacation, health insurance, retirement plan, dental, and vision. It could easily be $70K-$75K per year and we can’t find a serious applicant.

                        Based on the shit I've seen out there, a whole lot of companies thought they'd be able to strong-arm applicants coming off unemployment assistance by setting some ridiculous terms, and they're incredulous that no one's taking them up on it.

                        We’re offering $25 per hour for warehouse help. Overtime at time and a half (opportunity for about 10 hours per week), paid vacation, health insurance, retirement plan, dental, and vision. It could easily be $70K-$75K per year and we can’t find a serious applicant.

                        There's a pretty large disconnect between folks trying to hire and folks looking for jobs. It would be a mistake to presume it's all "nobody wants to work." Lots of contributing factors on both sides.

                        Please love yourself.

                          It’s a ground level opportunity in a startup. Very typical in Silicon Valley. You get underpaid with equity upside.

                          Only non-witches get due process.

                            Yeah, I'm familiar with the model. What I'm saying is, the "company" who wrote that particular ad won't last the quarter.
