To me that reads…we don’t want lazy asses because our job requires you to pay attention…
Like for example… transportation of bricks at a construction site where you must toss bricks at your coworkers or receive bricks tossed at you by your coworkers. That’s demanding and fast paced.
These jobs are the ones where they don’t hire enough people and they genuinely believe that they you can give them 100% every minute you’re on the clock. It’s high-pressure and fast-paced because they’re stupid and set insane deadlines with the client without consulting you first. Nevermind that they’ll bust out the “well, I stay late every day, too!” and you’ll get fired soon after if you say “yea, and your quality hugely suffers for it.”
Their definition of “lazy” conflicts heavily with reality. They work hard, not smart, producing rushed, shitty work that takes them twice as long to do because they haven’t given themselves even 10 minutes in the last decade to learn a new skill or tool in the software. I worked with a grown adult in 2023 who wouldn’t upgrade from AutoCAD 2013 and he was the drafting manager. He wasn’t the only one like that, either.
To me that reads more like… we’re going to put too much on your plate, you’ll have to work lots of overtime, you’ll be stressed all the time and we expect you not to complain because we warned you in advance.
Ah yes agreed 👍💯.
Yeah it’s this one.
I get a feeling you haven’t had much corporate work experience
Only 10 years at the biggest engineering company in the world. I know my TPS report when I see it…they literally have a TPS report.
Are you DESPERATE ENOUGH to WORK HERE!?
WE’RE A FAMILY. Now go to your cubicle without enough pay to afford dinner.
Ask them to feed you since they’re family.
Pizza party is next thursday, if the team meets the goals
One slice per employee.
They already us a pizza party to celebrate record profits. What more do you want !?!
Dinner
Wtf you’re not a team player.
/s
Are we a team or a family?, get it straight! Also, teams do feed their players after matches afaik.
No, not that kind of team.
-“We’re team Teamspeak!”
That does sound like my family, actually.
When they also say “We’re one big family here!”. They don’t say it’s a dysfunctional one. 🌚
Translation: “everyone knows your cell phone number, and they are not afraid to use it”
Usually this means, “we don’t value work/life balance, so we want you to combine the two like we have”
‘Colin Robinson; Energy Vampire’ uses that tactic
Colin is my favorite take on vampires. Hits home much harder than sucking blood lol
We all know that one person who likes to explain things. It’s sort of a way to get attention, and an easy way of doing that is mansplaining. I’m not sure if you’ve heard of mansplaining, but mansplaining is a term used for a situation where a man explains what something means, to a woman. Now, you may be asking yourself, “what is a woman?”. I’d answer, that is a very good question. By that I mean are you asking what defines femininity, or what are they literally composed of? For that may I refer you to reddit. What is Reddit, you might ask? That’s a very good question. I’d say it’s a place for people, but these days none of it is actually people. By that I mean that it’s become weaponized in a way, using very basic propaganda. What is propaganda, you might ask? Well, that’s probably something I might ask myself later today. Probably has something to do with updog.
What’s updog?
Nothin’ much. What’s up with you?
This has always been my problem with conflating “family” with “office”. It’s tragically subjective, and usually for the worse.
Some people have garbage family dynamics, with no counseling in sight. So these same people trot this steaming pile of bad values, reactionary behavior, trauma dumping, triggers, and more right into the workplace like it’s totally normal.
In a smaller way, I also see managers emulate mom or dad to run their little piece of the company. All the while, not understanding that they themselves were horribly abused by their parents and think that behavior is completely a-okay to project onto their team.

“Well here I go again…!”
Haha sure, job. You and what cocaine?
…if the job was Pinball tester…maybe…
I lowkey do want to work like that, but it has to be on my own terms. Because Fast paced and high pressure works much much better with my brain than infinite meetings + horribly convoluted bureaucratic hoops to jump through to work productivly + nothing gets done + there’s still high pressure because people are frustrated about it.
Yeah I worked at a T1 help desk that had a pretty consistent high call volume but still gave us enough access to actually fix shit and I low key loved that job. I was good at it, There was a decent amount of variety, no on call, no real responsibility because anything we couldn’t fix got escalated up the chain. It was great. Just clock out at the end of the day and don’t think about it until I worked next.
Conversely my current job which pays far better is the second type you described and it’s fucking miserable.
Ditto. And the worst jobs ive ever had are the jobs where I was bored. To quote Method Man: I do my best work stressed out and under pressure.
I want to work at a CHILL JOB where I can TAKE IT EASY and FINISH WHENEVER.
I’d rather have a job where I’m working hard to accomplish something over one where I can get paid to do nothing. Doing nothing burns me out. I never would have thought this before living it.
I don’t want to do nothing either. I wanna be a librarian or something. I’m sick of retail, factory, farm, and warehouse work.
Have you considered night shift?
I mean, yes it’ll destroy your sleep schedule but it is very chill.
Had a night shift for 5 years. I will never be able to sleep normal again. A decade after leaving my brain still has issues keeping a regular schedule, I get random bouts of sleepiness in the middle of the day. And when stressed my brain refuses to sleep some nights.
It was pretty chill while doing it, though.
for me I’ve always been a night owl so night shift works fantastic for me, my only gripe is how much shit I’ve still got to do during normal business hours to function like a human being. Banks, doctors appointments, grocery shopping – fuck, once I was even called into a mandatory all-staff workplace meeting at 11AM despite working the overnight shift there and being between shifts the day of. Absolute madness, I want to yank some of these people out of their bed at 3AM and ask them to function.
I miss night shifts so much. Also the differential was nice.
It really depends on the job. I’ve usually worked night shifts and the only time it was chill was when I was a security guard and got assigned to make sure teenagers stayed out of an abandoned farmhouse that was structurally unsafe.
Working night shifts at a factory or warehouse ain’t fuckin’ chill.
Hotels are usually super chill at night, too. Unless it’s a fuckoff big property in the middle of a big touristy city, you’re usually getting paid to be a warm body just to deal with issues that may arise, you are almost never expected to be busy/have serious duties or even look busy. It’s light paperwork, attending to the occasional guest with a modicum of asskissing, and occasionally dealing with complete raging dumpster fires at 3AM – but they’re rather rare at quieter properties in smaller cities. YMMV wildly, depending on the property, some places have been absolutely awful and some have been the easiest thing I’ve ever been paid money to do. During COVID I was once paid to run the nightly paperwork at a hotel that was closed down, with no guests in house, and no revenue. But I still had to tick the business date over and run reports for them because otherwise… I dunno, the building burns down, who the fuck knows, I got paid to babysit an empty building and print/email reports full of 0s from 11PM-7AM every night for several months. Was nice, would recommend (the job, not the pandemic)
OK short term but comes with decreased life expectancy if you stock to it for long.
That sounds like something a weatherman would say
I want to work in a bakery in a little cottage in the woods where we only make one product at a time instead of batches 💔🥀
I feel like there would be a anime about this scenario
Yeah it’s Bunny Girl Senpai Owns the Whole Bakery
ah, racing diver
Job postings should not make the job sound overly appealing. They should give you an idea of if it would be a good fit for you as a potential applicant.
How else will the HR attract applicants?
It’s funny when you see job postings for where you work. I saw one for where I’m at (a ghost job, since there’s a hiring freeze) that said like “join a highly functional team”. Lady, this team can barely push code that doesn’t have syntax errors.
Side note: posting jobs with no intention to hire (aka a ghost job) should be illegal.
Recently saw the place I left a year ago put up a posting. It was word-for-word the same as the job I applied for 4 years previously but it had an extra sentence: MUST HAVE A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOUR.
This is code for: MUST BE OKAY WITH THE OWNER’S RAMPANT HOMO AND TRANS PHOBIA.
I had a recruiter call me up and ask me how I hadn’t found a job with all these postings. Like, lady, they’re not real!
Stopped reading at “Do you want to work”
(well, at least not for money)
Damn! You must be wealthy!
and not attending either
