Antiwork

Its always the same way around, which puts all the cards into their hands. They post their job adverts, with either a large range of salary or no salary listed at all. Then we have to spend our time applying, usually getting no response. When it does come time for an interview, we are asked our expected salary, which is then ignored in favour of however low the company thinks they can pay to get you. Sure you can try to counter offer but that will offend most recruiters to the point they drop you, or move on to the next desperate chump who will hopefully take their non-market rate offer… It should work the other way around, we should post our profiles including expected salary, then the company can come to us.

While I can do without brand new cars and severely lower my standard of living I don't know if I can live without insurance coverage. Let me know what you think…

My friend doesn't have Reddit so I'm posting for her, since I also worked for this company at one time I have no issues with naming them, this is Radroller I worked for them a few months and left because the pay was too low for me and I had my own consulting practice taking off. I introduced my friend to them because they had financial issues and weren't happy with their accountant, she is a top notch financial consultant. What happened is that she worked with them for months and had numerous issues dealing with the CEO, . She is absolutely professional and delivered what she could given that her work depended on other people and the CEO delivering the information she required.
