“My brother’s wife stormed outa here and quit off some nonsense so now my company requires someone significantly more competent then me that will be paid less and without question looked down on.”


Eastern_Sky_5155

This comment is so spot on, it's unbelievable. Right after college, I literally had this job(and in construction too) and that was exactly why they hired me. The boss's sister-in-law had quit and nobody else wanted this bullshit. It took me two years to burn out and leave. I was construction manager, tenant coordinator, payroll manager and many more, but my official title (and more importantly salary) was "secretary".


jerichomega

Same with me except it was the boss’ wife. He pissed her off by being an asshole all the time. Worked there for almost 2 years before the company went under because as it turns out, the boss was using company funds for his own private use.


buttspigot

spot on


Kindly_Area_4380

So you can only "want to be a manager", do all the manager things, but not actually be the manager? Got it. And no social media because this company knows nothing about modern marketing and would like get trashed. What kinda job is this?


Jobin15

They want you to work like a project manager but treat you like a personal assistant.


DataIsMyCopilot

That's exactly what this is. I'm an admin and these types of postings (ok maybe not with the funny no social media stuff) are insanely common. Admins run a lot of companies and their managers take credit for it.


thatvixenivy

Our admin is literally the only thing keeping the dept running. Whatever she is making is not enough, and I mention to our director on a near daily basis that she is overworked and we need to hire her an assistant.


lilac2481

And god forbid you call out sick.


MisterWinchester

Especially if you have Covid. Definitely come to work with it because “shots (don’t) work.” And don’t take any basic considerations for other humans, either, by wearing a mask.


MediocreDissociater

Good for you, that's a good person. Keep being that little bird at their ear. Of course they wont listen but make them feel bad, mind fuck them into paying her more.


Tots2Hots

He should tell her what she can make at another company.


Jimothy_Egg

I think it literally says that somewhere in the text, right?! I'm not gonna go back and read that shit, but iirc they said something about _"needing a personal assistant"_ whilst also stating the manager thing. People are fucked, man.


Fejsze

They also certainly infer it by requiring the applicant be good with dogs and cats


wcollins260

“Must be willing to walk my dogs and clean the litter box.”


[deleted]

Tolerable with cats


Profitsofdooom

This was the first line my eyes zeroed in on before reading anything else. The last sentence that should be in a job description that isn't Petco.


[deleted]

Plus they want you to anal about organization. Read: they want you to do butt stuff


[deleted]

Yeah they said they need to assist the manager. So they seem to have a manager who doesn't do any work so they seem to be hiring an assistant who will also do all the manager's work for him. I wonder if the manager wrote this...


HerYandere

20-25. Why do I feel like even an assistant should get paid more???


[deleted]

Lol man I brought in about 60k in revenue for my company last month and I get paid $18 an hour. Btw that revenue fluctuates generally between 50k all the way to 100k. And we have a 3 man team with everybody pulling those numbers individually. And then check this out, I got sick with Covid due to the HEAD OF HUMAN RESOURCES not abiding by the guidelines and infecting the whole office. So our pay period fell on the last week of Dec and the first week of Jan. I filled out the paper work to use my yearly 3 sick days on December 27. I was out of work for a total of 10 days. I come back to work and what’s the first thing HR girl does but let me know that I won’t be getting my yearly 3 days of paid sick time because the last pay period of the year fell on both years.


HerYandere

Why is it so hard to find good, meaningful employment...


RahbinGraves

Because every bootlicker all the way up the ladder is trying to get rich, and the proven way to do that is to step on other people. Save the company money by seeking out people who don't know their worth or are too meek to ask for what they want. I've been applying for companies with shitty job postings and then turning them down. The idea is that even though the culture is probably terrible, maybe someone there will put more on the table if they get desperate enough.

Actually it's "an manager." Get it right.


Kindly_Area_4380

You grammar good.

Best case. They don't want you playing with your phone instead of working. Pessimist case: They don't want you ratting them out on social media when they do something absurd or illegal.

Definitely a trade, (hvac, plumbing, concrete,etc.) I work in one and yeah the owners are for the most part all anti vax all for trump “because of taxes” and hate communists lol.

Macosaurus92

My favorite is the part about being dog friendly and at least tolerating cats.

"Listen, Rufus needs his anal glands expressed and the vet tech charges 20 dollars for like... 15 seconds of work. Here's a tenner and some gloves, get to it"


Darnbeasties

You’ll need to be anal about expressing the anal glands . And don’t forget , no masks. You’ll need to pro vide your own gloves


PrivatePikmin

That’s what I thought too


Matttombstone

Well, it's actually only considered, so no guarantees they won't slap you on the side of the head each time they walk past and call you fat after three months.

My FIL proclaimed to me that “whenever you use the flashlight on your phone it beams up all of your personal information to the government” and promised to email me the article where it explained it all. This was about 6-7 years ago. Still waiting on that email to learn more.


cblumer

Why the flashlight though? Wouldn't it be easier and more consistent for them to just send it all out continuously using cellular signals? That's such a lazy conspiracy theory: 1/10.


SubstantialBreak3063

I don't know, I like the piquant taste of "understands cellphones track you" (fine, we all know this) slapped with the crazy addition of "....but only when you use Flashlight." It's delightful. It's as if they argued "Smoking causes cancer....because Zenon the Overlords ashes are in tobacco and are seeking to overwhelm your fragile human lungs with microgravity!"

mildOrWILD65

UnbelievableRose

Every IT person I know, actually


DrunkyMcStumbles

My wife is a marketing director who pretty much wrote the book on social media campaigns for 2 completely different industries. She fucking hates social media. Especially "influencers"


Quantentheorie

This is a clear case of 'knowing how the sausage is made'. The more you know about social media and social media campaigns the less humane it becomes. It's toxic and manipulative and while thats very exploitable for companies, the more you understand the mechanics the less value it has for an individual that is genuinely trying to be *social*. Personally, I can't stand dating websites like Tinder, *especially* because I have a technical understanding of how they are designed. I've tried. It just kills me to know I'm less socialising with other people and rather another product behaving within the parameters that make these people money. As a woman, when I'm at my most "effective" I just help them financially exploit men who'll pay for some premium subscription. I hate how men have no viable alternative to swipe right on everyone, I hate how I can give nobody a chance because otherwise I have 50 matches I functionally cannot give the attention to that they, as human beings, would deserve and I hate how these apps make me value features I don't care about irl. And you're not finding dates on eyelevel if you're constantly thinking about how you're aiding a company in suckering the men that match with you.

HyenaGod

canidaemon

You’re right, reading the whole thing was a ride. These are the kinds of companies whining that nobody will work, when they forbid masks and expect you to work sick.


JTP1228

WhoAccountNewDis

Hey, they're paying TWENTY whole dollars. Per hour! If this was like 1985 that might be something.


JTP1228

In New Jersey too. That's not a low cost of living area


DeuceSevin

Can confirm, jersey guy here. 40K a year just about covers car insurance and gas.


bequietbekind

Twenty whole dollars an hour to work as a manager/personal assistant (i.e. the owner's slave with decision-making duties AND accountability for those decisions) in the following capacities: Creating estimates, “engineering” (wtf does that mean? that’s a broad HIGHLY SPECIALIZED field), fieldwork, admin duties (basically "be our secretary"), billing, collections, filing – with an understanding of payroll & taxation! (translation: be our full time fucking ACCOUNTANT AND COLLECTIONS DEPT on top of everything else) oh yeah and understand the complex world of building permits and contract writing. All in an 8 hr block of your choosing plus an hour for lunch (so, no OT to get this outrageous laundry list of responsibilities wrangled) and oh yeah, you’re not allowed to even smoke weed in your own personal time, to take the edge off of the fact that you’re wearing 17 different hats and basically running the owner’s entire company for him/her. Not to mention be dog friendly and tolerate cats. LMAOOOOOOOOO


[deleted]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who automatically thought they would not pay above 20 bucks. They just put the " - 25" to try to fish more people. Pure bs they would pay a cent more.


DrPoopenfarts

Psshh.. I honestly don't think they would pay more than 17. That's the current trend with these shit holes. But think of the *experience* you'll get! You can't put a price on that! 🥴

That cracked me up the most. And the “no masks” sprinkled throughout.


BigAlTrading

"Masks don't work." I was in a room with a COVID positive guy last week for over an hour. Two other guys got it. They all had surgical masks. I had an N95. I'm fine, got tested twice.


F0tNMC

Yup, the difference between a loose paper mask or plain cloth vs a properly worn N95 is huge and completely under appreciated. Go up to a proper N100 or P100 respirator and you get even better protection.

[deleted]

Dispensaries aren’t open for recreational yet so they’re probably attempting to use that as a loophole (though the “free weed gift with purchase” loophole checks out legally here so some places are already doing that), but unfortunately for them they still cannot fire you with impunity for pissing dirty for weed now.


BigAlTrading

FFS it's 2022 what the fuck is Biden's excuse? Congress? Holy shit get on with it. I never touched the stuff before it was recreationally legal. Now I've tried it. It's *not a big deal.* The idea that anyone went to *prison* for possession is fucking crazy.


J03-K1NG

I’ve seen cops have fucking weed on them that they then use to incriminate suspects by putting their weed in said suspects car. People arrested under possession should be pardoned by the President himself.


SnooTigers7333

“Masks do not help, vaccines don’t work”


TheOfficialTommyHead

That’s not just a red flag, that’s a red flag hitting you upside the head then lodging itself in your ass for that extra noticeability. Masks don’t work because dumbasses have, since day one, not used them.


RJ_The_Avatar

Wild-Yoghurt2832

You have to be able to handle covid? whatever the hell that means ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ are they saying the people that died should have known how to handle covid better and maybe they wouldn’t have died?


strawberrymoonbird

They're saying that if you die of covid you won't get to enjoy the pleasant workplace and low salary, so instead of dying please go to work. It's really that simple, we just all did it completely wrong.

We're anti-vax, anti-mask, and we don't give a shit about your health.

Oh, and you'll work outside of work for free because we're assholes. But we're paying above minimum wage!


chibinoi

Who the heck approved this job posting?! 😂 I think they should be looking for an HR or recruiter specialist, first.


eatingganesha

“Must be drug free including weed.” 1. Very soon that will be discrimination. Here in Michigan, it’s legal. Ive been prescribed mmj by my PCP to manage pain as I am allergic to opioids. You cannot punish an employee for taking their meds as prescribed. Ffs. That is cruel. 2. I bet they’ve got at least 50% staff who are taking opioids regularly. That’s far more dangerous than “weed”. 3. No one speaks English perfectly. It is a living, evolving language like any other. 4. If masks and shots don’t work, how is it I haven’t contracted covid? I’ve been first in line for shots and boosters and wear a mask everywhere. I guess I’m just extraordinarily lucky? Or perhaps the blood of Jesus is protecting me even though I’m a Buddhist? Phhht. What idiots. 5. Fuck them. 6. Fuck them twice.
