Antiwork

Am I right for feeling like this was wrong…

Okay guys, so I applied for a job through Indeed at a local donut shop in Arizona. The job ad said “Bakery Production Help – $25/hr, full-time, Will Train!” Scored interview, killed interview, and proceeded to do a trial shift. In the last 15 minutes or so we sat down and I was given the nitty gritty: it's not initially full-time, AND they start you at $17, 30 days you're at $18, and he said “one of the guys averages $23.52 with tips”. So, not $25. You gotta “work with them, be patient”. What is this shit? I mean, the owners seem like really nice people, but I know enough about capitalism to know if my rent+utilities comes to $1700/m, that full time is not 28 hours per week, and $17 is not $25. The people here are on planet 9 when it comes to profit over having livable communities.…

I made such good money back up the 40 in Albuquerque in comparison, and ABQ kinda sucks.

But Northern Arizona is on another level of fraudulent “full-time” job listings. So I thought I'd share one.
