I caused an uproar by copy/pasting

The organization I work for has been looking for a “top tier admin” for over 6 months now, but they only want to pay $25 an hour which doesn't seem to be what a top tier admin is willing to settle for.

I probably should have told the hiring manager that recruiters don't like seeing their work shat on, but it was time for some chaos.
