Some of these job ads are getting out of hand "Must have 5+ years of experience, handle high-volume environments, multitask under pressure, and always stay positive" all for $16 an hour. Like be for real, you're not hiring a manager, you're hiring someone to run the floor and survive the lunch rush.

At this point, they should just say, "We're looking for a superhero who doesn't mind minimum wage."

Anyone else notice how these postings keep getting more ridiculous?

Oh, they absolutely are. They want high-level or even mid-level employees for entry-level wages. I wonder how they think anybody can live off of what they are offering.

How can I get experience if everything requires experience!

I definitely agree with you. I have been looking for a job for six months and can't seem to find anything. It has been beyond frustrating because they require so much and give so little.

Or the ones that say entry level position must have 3-5 years experience. Then it’s not entry level.

Exactly! Entry level means NO experience and you will pay me as such. 3+ years experience means you have to pay me more because I know more. Besides the fact that you usually get more out of people if you pay them a decent wage.

For the last 6 months. I've been struggling to find anything, and it genuinely feels like the most simple places you could apply to are now just. Not wanting people without experience. EVER. Waffle house, McDonald's, Kroger's, circle K I've applied to so many different places and almost never get a response no matter how many times I call.

Yup, they really are. At the same time, what can we do about it? Stores know that a lot of people are out of work and will take what we are offered. It's easy to take advantage of candidates these days.

I noticed that as well. Someone will apply especially since the economy is not the best. They are being very desperate and people that have a lot of experience in that particular job field will not apply because the pay is low.

Been having trouble moving on since girlfriend ended relationship 3 weeks ago after 2+ years of dating. Before ending it she came over 3 weeks prior to basically give me a chance to work things out and we had a good discussion but then I went back into our routine and didn’t really fight for it or have serious follow up convos that we needed. Now I just have so many regrets that I let her go. I know we still love each other and left on “good” terms but can’t forgive myself for my lack of action.

I am generally uncomfortable when I’m around my mother-in-law’s husband.

While he is overall a decent guy, his anger issues, yelling at his wife for the slightest issue, and insulting nature makes me uncomfortable and triggers my own anger due to his blatant disrespect for just about everyone around him.

My mother-in-law says he’s worked on things, but it’s been 10 years of this and I’m not sure I want such behavior around my wife and our kids since we’re trying to conceive soon (cont).
