Job description when I interviewed changed drastically after they hired me

When I interviewed for the job, the job description was for a social media copywriter. It involved content planning and copywriting.

I got hired.

On the first day, they handed me a paper with all my roles and responsibilities.

This woman was shocked by the actual work expected of her.

It included social media account management for 15 accounts a month.

As well as social media engagement for 15 accounts a month.

And social media content planning and calendar creation for 15 accounts a month.

It also included copywriting and graphic design for 7 accounts a month.

She isn’t a graphic designer.

I am not a graphic designer.

They are getting mad that some of these visuals are not what they wanted.

Like no kidding, Sherlock, I am not a graphic designer.

I also have to note that it was supposed to be full-time with the company.

Even the type of employment and work setup was different.

When I actually started, it was independent contract work.

It was full-time with no benefits, no vacation, and no lunch.

Also, the job description explicitly says it is primarily remote.

It says there would be some in-person days needed for client shoots. It specified one to two a month.

The entire week gave her a headache.

They communicate through group chat the morning of whether we work from home or come into the office.

This entire week has given me such whiplash.

I know I should have declined on the first day.

That was Monday.

I also wanted to see whether I would get that new updated contract.

Anyway, for lack of better words, what the heck?!?
