Dear hiring managers: y'all want 37 year-olds with 20 years of experience. Unless we can include mowing lawns as relevant experience, you may want to lower your expectations.

All these companies have a bunch of do-nothing middle managers that talk about KPIs, use corporate buzzwords and get paid $250k for zero productivity.

Just wait until a requirement is having 7-10 years of experience using ChatGPT or a similar AI tool.

Right!?!

Also, please have a pay range that matches the requirements. I saw an ad (I wish I had screenshot it) that required 10 years of experience an MBA for a 70K job.

In some parts of the country that's not too bad.

I did see a listing requiring a master's degree and offering $15 an hour. Now that's pretty crappy no matter where you live.

like

The other part of that is seeing required qualifications listing a Bachelors or Masters degree with a payscale of a high school diploma. I've literally see listings like this and the pay will be $38k to $45k... what!?!?

38k? That sounds like every position on LexisNexis.

Hi all,
I wanted to know if anyone was having issues with their pharma branded Instagram accounts? My brand’s account was fine yesterday and now when you search it it’s not on IG. It’s a business account so it’s fully public. I reached out to a few brand managers and it’s hit or miss on if they’re brand is found. Cleared caches, incognito browser, and all. I’m not sure if IG is down or if something changed with IG and pharma accounts.

When she attended she said that there was no point of responding my email as we are meeting anyway. Later on I had 2nd interview with the hiring manager. After 45 minutes she said they will let me know...

“Job hopper” and “quiet quitting” are all schemes made up by boomers to make you think everything is the employees fault. When in reality people are just getting out of bad situations.

Except our generation will just leave amid we’re being mistreated, not complain for 35 years making 50k and 0 advancement.
