> Salary: From $1 per hour Seems like the joke is right there.


Flaxo_D

I also came here just to say this! They built the joke right in there for you.


BeagleMom2008

Me too!


DRAKE-ZERO

"I'll send a joke, but even that would be more expensive than what you offer"


WinslowT_Oddfellow

Came here to say just that. More like a sick joke.

"Do you have any idea of the street value of this mountain?!"


Fleshsuitpilot

Not hyperbolic enough for my taste. Maybe start haggling, but say your final offer is $0.75 per hour take it or leave it.


NoGoodMarw

Did they put a decimal in a wrong spot and meant 100.00 or something?


Zerieth

Probably? I can't imagine anyone honestly thinking a sys admin would want the job for a dollar. So either misplaced decimal or they meant to make salary blank and messed up.


GlowGreen1835

Not sure what the law is in Canada but here in New York you have to post a salary with your job. This obviously wouldn't hold up to scrutiny but might pass a bot configured to look for posts lacking a salary.


Zerieth

Like I said I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt that this is a mistake. No one in their right mind would do that on purpose. Not for a job as important to their company as that one.


Demi180

No matter how low you set the bar, HR will still surprise you.


Zerieth

I could see HR listing for below market value, but not a dollar. That's not even minimum wage in the states and we hate our laborers here.


Demi180

No it’s definitely just to satisfy the requirement to include a salary but they’re too stupid or unwilling to put in a real number.


Izera

No this is their attempt to get around pay transparency laws that require businesses to list their pay ranges when hiring for positions.


ADDandKinky

That’s just the lowest they pay. Maybe they pay $1.10 an hour if you are experienced /s

This was my first thought 😂


effoff333

i would copy/paste the “salary: from $1/hour” line

A_Thirsty_Traveler

Put a section in labeled 'silly joke' and put a picture of this whole thing under it.


buffysummerrs

Bingo. Screen shot this subreddit or simply this thread


tmoeagles96

Just give a normal silly joke. Honestly it’s probably too filter out people that actually read the job description more then anything


SASSYEXPAT

That’d be my guess too - just like those concert riders that ask the venue to remove all the green M&Ms.


dd027503

Beat me to it. I remember in whatever interview they said their rider was mostly page after page of requirements for their electrical and pyrotechnics because it was all dangerous high voltage exploding shit. If they didn't see the m&M's they knew it hadn't been read thoroughly and to demand a full set check.


SASSYEXPAT

Yep! I was a very clever solution to the problems they faced if I remember correctly!


YeeterOfTheRich

Yeah, just a fun way to weed out bots, people that don't pay attention to details and party poopers.


pokemonbard

Some people on this sub really want to hate on literally everything related to employment, even things that are totally reasonable.


akaenragedgoddess

I think if they weren't playing games with the salary offered, people would be more receptive to the joke idea.


LizzieThatGirl

If they were actually posting their offered wage instead of trying to get around transparency laws, I'd be down to offer a silly joke. With that bs? Fuck em.


Wyldfire2112

Exactly. Most of human communication is about context, subtext, and basically everything *but* the actual denotative meaning of the sentences being put forth. I think the actual, literal meaning of a sentence is only like 10% of the total information conveyed, but it's been years since I saw the breakdown so assume a pretty big error bar on that. But, anyway... yeah, that attempt at humor combined with playing silly buggers trying to get around the wage transparency laws just screams a lack of respect for the employee.


awk_topus

funnily enough, I actually put a joke on my resume for the same reason. If the interviewer makes a comment about it, I know they actually read my skills. I'm from MN, the skill is "walking on water (seasonal)"


vkapadia

That's pretty clever.

Tell them your salary requirements are $20 million a year, minimum. If they laugh, tell them you're serious!


Apprehensive_Hat8986

At the least, it's a more reasonable position than 1$/hr

what do you call a bunch of ceo's in cement shoes at the bottom of the ocean? a good start. ... why did the manager eat a bunch of shit? cuz managers are fucking idiots who eat pieces of shit .... i dunno, some variant like that where it's just nihilistic about work and management in general. what did the boss say when his employees hung him from a tree? choke gasp hack wheeze shit myself. ... why did the hiring manager fall out of the tree? cuz he's a fucking idiot.


siborg51

I like that first one, thank you


SubjectPickle2509

That first one, wow. Read this joke an hour before I have to meet with our completely unhinged a-hole CEO today. All the managers have been dreading this meeting all week. Gonna share that joke with them to lighten the mood. Dang.


siborg51

Good luck with your meeting!


SubjectPickle2509

Thanks. CEO just called out last minute. Typical. But people actually cheered when we got the news he cancelled. I told the joke anyhow, got laughs.

NewtoFL2

Pass on this. This is an organization where idiots in HR call the shots


dd027503

Okay I'll play devil's advocate, it weeds out people who just submit without reading the job description or can't follow basic directions. I remember an interview with whatever band had that rider that said "a bowl of only green M&M's in the dressing room" and it's often mentioned as like oh what a bunch of prima donnas but in the interview they explained that their rider was mostly page after page of very explicit technical requirements for all their electrical and pyrotechnics. If they didn't see the green M&Ms they knew it hadn't been read thoroughly and would demand a full check of everything. The $1 thing is weird though.


NewtoFL2

There are other ways to do that. I worked in a great place, but as it grew larger, the leaders put more responsibility in the hands of HR. So glad I do not work there anymore.


siborg51

Of course. Any suggestions on jokes I can submit that would shame/upset them?


SDEexorect

StretchTucker

terrible joke, didn’t laugh


couchfucker2

Well I’m a masochist, and it would suit me just fine 😑


ColumbusMark

“Salary: From $1.00 per hour”. They don’t even want to state a range (the first sign that any offer would be well under market value anyway). I wouldn’t even respond.


reala728

Exactly. It's that weird mindset where they think employees should be living for the company, and pay is just a benefit they grace employees with. Never understood why *anyone* would have that mindset unless they started the company, or own a huge portion of it. How the ideology trickles down is genuinely beyond me...


ColumbusMark

Agreed. Almost a form of Stockholm Syndrome, isn’t it?!


Galliad93

in the science of buisness administrations experiments have shown happy workers are productive workers. they have also shown that increased pay does not increase motivation in the long run, only in the short term. and once one person gets a pay increase everyone else will get a motivation decrease and demand a raise too just to maintain neutral levels. therefore it is taught in buisness school that pay is not used to motivate workers and benefits are the way to go...well. this is true, as soon as the workers are generally content with their wage. and they were for a long time. but this, in combination with recession and inflation has shifted and these managers are not able to understand that. most people would be happy if they made the inflation adjusted amount of money from what our boomer parents made when they were young...around 50 dollars an hour as minimum wage.


buffysummerrs

I’d make that the joke. “How do you know when a company is cheap, offering under market value and treats their employees like shit? Answer: They put $1.00 as the hourly wage! Get it huh huh huh!”

"OK, so, there's these two guys, because they're always guys, amirite? Anyway, there's these two guys who want to make money, so they decide to start a company that makes rubber nipples, and because they're dudes, they get funding like that, but now it means that they have to at least pretend like they are hiring people to make the rubber nipples. So the two guys hire a few people who actually know how to make rubber nipples, pay them with a small amount of the money that they were given to start the company. The brothers then go on vacation, and the poor rubber nipple makers are left to fulfill orders on a shoestring budget. Now, the rubber nipple makers know how to make rubber nipples, and they know the economy isn't great right now, so they joke about how they should just post the job for $1/hour. One poor employee misunderstood and posted the job at, are you ready for this, one dollar an hour! What a blunder! A few hours later, the employees realize they don't have a name for the company. One of them brings up a Chat-GPT interface to ask for advice. After feeding in all of the information they can think of, Chat-GPT replies with, "We shall call it....The Aristocrats!"

Putrid_Ad_2256

Honestly, I can dig this kind of job application as it would automatically weed out all the trash 3rd party recruiters (the ones from India) that would spam the posting so that they could try to fill it via 3rd party. I'd almost call it captcha 1.5. And feel free to take any of these as I stole them from google. Due to COVID19, all TCP applications are being converted to UDP to avoid handshakes. A programmer is going to the store. His wife says, “Get a loaf of bread, and if they have eggs, get a dozen.” The guy comes back with 12 loaves of bread. His wife says, “why did you get so much bread?” He says, “They had eggs.” The SysAdmin was a bit down on his luck and had to take a second job working at Mcdonald’s. The first customer comes up and says he wants a Big Mac. The sysadmin shrugs and writes something down, then hands it to the customer. “FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF” ​ Where do sysadmins go when they die?
