Decoding Job Description BS 💩

So, you’re scrolling through job listings, looking for your next gig. Seen these?

"We’re like a family!"
"Must wear many hats!"
“Self-Starter”

These are NOT selling points. They’re code words for workplace watch-outs. Let’s break em down:

·     “Like a Family” = Drama, dysfunction and no boundaries.

·     “Wear Many Hats” = Do multiple jobs for one salary please.

·     “Self-Starter” = No training, no support, no landing gear.

·     “Competitive Pay” = We’d rather not tell you how little we’re paying.

·     “Fast-Paced Environment” = We wear stress like a badge of honor.

·     “Growth Opportunity” = Your boss is probably quitting.

·     “Looking for a Unicorn” = We have no idea what we’re looking for.

·     “Work Hard, Play Hard” = You’ll definitely be working weekends.

·     “High Energy” = This job will simply drain your soul.

A job description is a preview of company culture. If it’s full of BS, just imagine what working there will be like… and then don’t.
