How not to sell your job

[tsaiko]

I actually saw this on a job posting today.

Pay Rate: Lowest possible

Wow. I can tell that this company really values their employees. It wants to pay for quality and make sure that their employees are in it for the long term. Not. They might as well have written "Will take lowest bidder."

Although I am inclined to think that the company sent this out to a recruiter and the recruiter posted the email verbatim on their website. Awesome job there, recruiter. You fail.

Both fail.

I can't say I'm surprised. Most companies still treat employees as an expense rather than an asset.

Rare honesty at least, whether by accident or not. Good for prospective employees to know.

Egad, that's awful. >:/ I've found lots of doozies, but nothing like that. X) One I will never forget is the one that suggested that I link my Myspace page to give them a better understanding of my personality. XD
