The “you'll make up to x amount” shit is so annoying especially when half if not most of the time you're not being offered or paid that amount. Just be direct with wtf you're actually paying and quit trying to lure people in with your ring around bs.
If you're base paying at least $15, say that. If you're starting people off at a certain amount, say that. Quit telling people you're paying “up to x amount” when most people aren't getting that amount. Not to mention quit putting a predetermined cap on what people are worth. Shit just sounds demeaning and limiting.
You gotta check off every trivial and arbitrary box just to be considereed getting paid what's being advertised. It's bs. And they really try to sit there acting like it's such a good job, it's such good pay, when most people won't even make it. Come on now, quit deceiving people with fake and false expectations. Be direct and legitimate with what you say and state. Unfortunately a lot of the companies and businesses doing that won't get enough people cuz they know their positions, pay and jobs/companies in general aren't shit.
Just wanted to make this post after seeing a Disney ad stating you'll make “up to $22 per hour” like damn considering all the shit theme park workers go through, considering how much damn money Disney has and how much demand and needed/expected Disney magic at the theme parks that around $20 would least be a doable wage from the beginning. It shouldn't even be an “up to”, it should be a “that's what we're paying you, period”.
Quit playing with your words, quit playing with peoples expectations and time. And quit being cheap. Quit using wrap around words/meanings and just offer everybody a decent, livable wage. Having a livable wage shouldnt even be a “competition” or “more 'qualified' = only person that can have a livable wage” thing.
