When you’re in the middle of a rough job search, you end up wanting to take just about anything.
But sometimes the fine print reveals a reality that’s far worse than advertised.
That’s exactly what this employee discovered after learning their “good job” came with 50-hour weeks and penalties for getting sick.
You’ll want to read on for this one.
There’s always a catch.
I thought I finally found a decent job, 50k/year salary, full-time management position.
I came in to do paperwork and asked the manager a few questions about hours.
That’s when this employee realized the truth about the job.
Turns out it’s 50 hours a week and if you ever call in sick your pay gets docked.
So there’s literally no benefit for being salary, it’s just so they can overwork you.
I hate that I have to take the job until I find something else, this job market sucks.
Finding a decent job shouldn’t be this difficult.
