I once saw an ad looking to hire someone with a BA that knew 3 computer programming languages for $8 an hour.
entry level job; salary range $30,000 - $150,000 depending on qualifications and experience; 10 yrs experience required; high school diploma required, Phd preferred
apply today!
Phd preferred
Weird way to spell required
Sorry we’ve decided to move forward with other candidates (You’re not the VP’s son).
1 month later, the exact same job posting is listed again
New recruitment process, who this?
My last job had close to that range. There is a hiring range is typically 50-70% of the maximum. Below 50% is the developmental range for laddering underqualified internal hires. Over 70% is for very experienced, overqualified candidates. Generally employers won’t go more than 85% of max because they need a couple years of cushion for salary increases. If they hire at max they know the candidate is going to be back on the market in a year.
High school diploma is barely an entry barrier, completely reasonable IMO for anything other than a factory button-pusher.
(We will always offer you pay on the lower end of the scale)
The fact that the majority of us are essentially forced to participate in the capitalist market means that we will always be at the mercy of greasy, compliant, ass-sucking ‘bosses.’
We don’t have any freedom with work unless we have the freedom not to work.

What are you talking about? We have the freedom to not work and die cold and hungry in the streets just like the founding fathers intended!
Capitalism is slavery with extra steps.
I’m getting sick of the invasive questions
"Gender?
Sex at birth?
Are you trans?
Are you gay? Bi?
Ever been depressed?
Abuse alcohol? Drugs?
Ever been arrested?
Ever been in the military?
Well what about your spouse?
Ever work for the government?
That degree you mentioned, we can’t ask your age but uh, when did you earn that bad boy, huh?"
NONE OF THIS HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE POSITION.
This is 100% occuring in the USA. Where I live and work.
Gender?
Present.
Sex at birth?
No, my first time was well over a decade later.
Are you trans?
Transtabular, from your position.
Are you gay? Bi?
I prefer professionalism to gaiety during interviews. This meeting isn’t over yet.
Ever been depressed?
Not in the button sense, no.
Abuse alcohol? Drugs?
Neither physically nor emotionally. No, thank you, not now.
Ever been arrested?
Have you been?
Ever been in the military?
Even if I was, you’re not getting veteran’s benefits through me.
Well what about your spouse?
Even if they were, you’re not getting veteran’s benefits through them.
Ever work for the government?
Why, are you paying public service rates?
That degree you mentioned, we can’t ask your age but uh, when did you earn that bad boy, huh?
I think it was sometime around when I graduated from college.

I’m just trying to get an egg loan! There’s people in line behind me!
What is the “correct” answer for the ever worked in the government/military ones?
Most of these questions are illegal in my country, thank fuck
thank fuck
No, thank the government and the people who voted.
No, thank the workers who literally died fighting for worker rights, which forced the government’s hands in order to keep the peace.
Died and often killed, don’t forget that demonstrations are the compromise for a civil discourse. When not being treated civilly, it quickly becomes a mob and the lynching begins.
If you’re in the USA, these questions are legal to ask.
Some are illegal (when did you graduate), but is asked very often anyways. Often times marked as required on Workday Job applications.
Where are you that has questions like these?
5 of those questions aren’t asked in the US.
I am in the US.
Those question are 100% asked.
