I have a friend in shambles crying because she went on her tenth interview this year and realized that some of this companies are stupid as hell. The latest interview was for a warehouse manager position for drum roll $20 an hour to manage 3 supervisors and 100 employees. This was on top of the mandatory 50 hour weeks.
The job interview before that specified $22-25 pay range online. She shows up to the interview and gets told it actually is between $16-18. We live in California. They also said she could work from home but in the interview said it would be on-site only.
Two interviews before that, she got sexually harassed by a creep manager. That scared her.
The rest of the jobs only paid between $15.50-17 and were retail or entry level office jobs.
I feel for her and anyone looking for a job. How is everyone else that is looking for a job or or switch jobs dealing with the journey? Any tips I can pass along to her? I am curious how various people are dealing with the current “labor shortage” they keep talking about instead of the “pay people what they are worth, stop being creepy and using interviews as a speed dating venue and allow people to work from home if the job could be done from home” issue.
