I came across this post on my facebook memories. I hope it is okay to post it here….

A little clarification of corporate lingo: COMPETITIVE SALARY: We remain competitive by paying less than our competitors. JOIN OUR FAST-PACED COMPANY: we have no time to train you. CASUAL WORK ATMOSPHERE: We don't pay enough to expect that you'll dress up-well, a couple of the real daring guys wear earrings.

Any job is just a job at the end of the day but I just secured a remote insurance adjuster gig after only working shitty blue collar Gigs for the past 10 years. I just wanted to share my experience, better work can be found!!

Them: “Your healthcare, 401k, credit worthiness, are all tied to work.” Gen Z: “Ok then make the work meaningful.” Them: “Oooh, aren’t we Mr. I-want-it-all!”
