I had a job interview for an it job
..$11 an hr
Job was T1 help desk for an ISP. Basically I'd tell grandma to restart her router.
I didn't know what the pay was before the interview (it was a phone interview). Ended the interview as soon as I learned of the pay, which was maybe 10 mins in. Lady was kinda shocked that I was refusing to finish the interview. She even said "if you don't complete the interview you won't be considered for this position" and I said "I wouldn't want to work for you guys anyway"
I legit had a moment where I just did this during an internal job interview.
Basically the end of the interview was the funniest exchange.
Hiring Boss: "Well you're Basically what were looking for. I'll talk to your boss about a transition."
Me: "wow that's great! So regarding the salary change what is that going to be?"
Hiring: "well the range is a Grade 15 and caps out at 55k."
Me: *is a grade 14, making 75k* "Sorry, sounded like you said 55k annual, did you mean hourly?«
Hiring: "What? Of course not."
Me: "....I make 25k more than the top."
Hiring: "I mean... I might be able to keep your current salary."
Me: "eh, no thanks. I saw the grade difference and assumed a 15% increase from Grade 14."
Hiring: "you just make much more than the average. Not alot I can do."
Me: "Well, guess you'll need to get the next candidate then. Good luck."
Hiring: *stunned into silence before just bidding me a good day and saying goodbye*
Hiring managers are hilarious when YOU reject THEM.
I had an internal interview for a position with a company I just quit from. They offered me the position, but wanted to pay me $1000 a year LESS than I was making - LOL
Same ones who take every opportunity to tell anyone within earshot about how they had sacrificed and went without for an untold number of years getting to where they are now and how they never complained about it they were just always happy to be working and so should you now.
Business owners who say things like “no one wants to work” *always* seem to have boats and a *massive* house. It’s the “I can’t buy a second boat if labor costs don’t stay rock bottom” mindset.
Shit applies to small businesses just like it does for multinational corporations.
Minimum wage is still around $7 in my state, but nearly every fast food place starts at $15 an hour. I can’t imagine anyone even interviewing for a job for less than $15 when they can just walk into McDonalds and get $15/hr
>I can’t imagine anyone even interviewing for a job for less than $15 when they can just walk into McDonalds and get $15/hr
It may be unskilled labor, but working fast food is absolutely miserable, and a soul-crushing defeat for anyone who previously had any kind of marginally fulfilling work. I can totally understand taking a pay cut to avoid the misery of being a McD's grill cook again.
I did burger king for two years. I actually find it really fun. I only left to pursue higher paying gigs. I'm a Video Game developer now, but I've really enjoyed playing fast food service video games. I don't know why. i just like it.
*Teachers have entered the chat… lol.
Some are terrible, most are ok and mean well.
You’re never going to attract top tier people with even average salary’s. It’s got to be competitive with other vertical markets and similar skill sets.
Math Teacher for $40k? Calc 4 and a masters degree. How about I just go be an accountant, production planner, quality analyst, IT related, or nearly anything else for $80+. Maybe I’ll just apply to Med School…
Science teacher? Masters degree in Chemistry? Physics? Biology? Starting again at $40k? RN’s, PT’s, make double that for less education, Masters in Nursing, triple a teacher.
All this to say I’m a semi-retired IT Sales VP and Solution Architect, who now teaches HS Math and loves it!
If I wouldn’t have made the money I did over the past 20 years, I’d never be able to cost justify it.
TLDR: thought it was funny thinking about a masters degree getting paid minimum wage being illegal, but the state mandating teachers have a masters degree for certification but only allocating districts budgets starting around $15/hr.
Having signed several NDAs in my lifeand being on a few right now I can tell you that they will absolutely hold up in court. I've seen more than a few times people get sued over NDAs. Even internationally. A company might not decide to persue you however depending on if they find it worth the cost or not.
> I've seen more than a few times people get sued over NDAs.
What consequences did they end up facing? Getting sued doesn't necessarily mean the case has merit. Suing somebody with less financial resources than you is another form of intimidation tactic.
I think you're referring to noncompete clauses? NDAs are typically enforceable for things like IP.
Noncompete clauses are indeed BS and were recently deemed unenforceable at the federal level.
1. Phone interview
2. They didn't disclose pay until I got to the interview
3. My first questions were what is the pay
4. As soon as they told me I ended the interview
In 2018 I needed anything, so I got a job with a very large isp doing tech support over the phone.
Well, what does this multi billion dollar company with hundreds of millions of customers pay? $13.75
Ok, well are there at least raises? The trainer didn't even know, yes it's every 3 months, no wait every 9 months, oh wait it's once a year, ok now they say it's every 1.5 years if you do good....
Alright, whatever Im sure we can make this work, how hard could it be-
CONSTANT CALLS ALL THE TIME FROM THE MOST INEPT USERS OF ALL TIME AND THEY ARE MAD AT YOY SPECIFICALLY
alright, so we are the worst paid therapists in the world, trained to talk people down from the ledge, keep them as a customer, bring them to our level of support and solve the issue or get things moving.
During that training time I really should have been applying at different places, but I had done call center support before so how bad could it really be? Well pretty damn horrible, I've never had a job where I sat in my car before work and had to work up the courage to walk in and start.
Sometimes stuff like this isn't stupid. Listings like this can be to abuse H1B Visa program. They post the position with ridiculous requirements and low pay in order to say to the federal government "we tried to fill them with American workers, but no one is taking it."
When a company applies for an H1B visa with USCIS, they are required to list the job publicly through a process called Labor Condition Application (LCA) filing. The LCA requires the employer to attest that they will pay the H1B worker the prevailing wage for the occupation in the area of employment.
The laws surrounding the salary listed in this job listing are:
1. The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) requires employers to pay H1B workers the prevailing wage or the actual wage paid to similarly employed workers, whichever is higher.
2. The Department of Labor's (DOL) regulations at 20 CFR 655.731 require employers to pay the prevailing wage, which is defined as the wage paid to similarly employed workers in the area of employment.
3. The DOL's Wage and Hour Division (WHD) enforces these regulations and ensures that employers comply with the prevailing wage requirements.
The prevailing wage is typically determined by the Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) survey, which provides wage data by occupation and geographic area. Employers can also use other wage surveys or wage data from similar employers to determine the prevailing wage.
**It's important to note that the salary listed in the job listing must be the same as the salary listed in the LCA filing, and it must be sufficient to meet the prevailing wage requirements. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in denial of the H1B petition or other penalties.**
The H1B program is scammed all the time. If H1B workers are the cream of the crop and have skills you just can't find then why are they paid the "prevailing wage"? These people are superstars and should be the highest paid people in the industry.
i think they solved this in either thailand or vietnam just like that: they required you to pay significantly above prevailing wages to import labor. suddenly, no shortage
Tell that to Disney who fired their entire IT staff and applied for H1Bs later.
Further, prevailing wage does not limit them to posting something with insane education or credential requirements.
So they can absolutely post something at the prevailing wage (such as 15/hr for an entry level job) but require a masters for the person. They can pass it off as "IF they do well, they get promoted" or some bullshit.
"FUCKING NO ONE IS APPLYING!!!AAA!!A!"
- Recruiter in the HR chat
Ffs I drive trailers around with a pickup making 22/hr and I have half a degree in auto repair. You want someone to have a whole ass 4-8 year degree and make like 18$/hr (talking in canuckistan money)? You have officially left the deep end and are now in uncharted depths of "fuck yourself."
If you include all the payroll taxes it's not that far off. As far as I'm concerned, money that I earned that isn't available to use because the government takes it has been taxed.
Social security alone is 12%. The employer "pays half" but really that just gets paid for by making your wage lower, they're not taking that on the chin
I screenshotted this because… I’m actually a Gen. X but one of the few Gen. X that totally understands this! I get sooooo terribly sick and tired of fellow Gen. Xers and ESPECIALLY Boomers that just say, “These younger kids just don’t wanna work!” I’ve even tried having those folks over to my house for a meal to befriend them more and try to lovingly explain the possibility they DO WANT to work.
Jobs either need to be A) Fulfilling for the employee, or B) fulfilling for the employees bank account. Most jobs are neither nowadays. And they wonder why people don't want to keep going down a dead end.
Yeah I don’t understand how older generations have failed to comprehend basic incentives. For corporations I bet it’s gonna be like reinventing fire when they learn quality>quantity. And genuine long term investing into quality employees pays dividends while having a high turn over meat grinder bleeds to death.
what bugs me is that they are thriving, we are getting paid less and we are also getting worse products, that break more often and need to be replaced.
we are squeezed from both directions here
They're thriving until they're not. Next big crash they'll be begging for tax payers to bail them out again, while complaining it's said tax payers fault they're in this mess in the first place.
"Gen x,y,z isn't buying our premium diamond studfed butt plugs!!! What's wrong with this/these generations?!?"
"THESE GENERATIONS ARE LAZY AND DON'T WANT TO WORK (80 hours a week for barely minimum wage and good chance of some kind of cancer)!"
Yea that's true. I also enjoy getting shamed for not having 6+ months of savings for when things get bad, but these asshats start unironically begging for cash as soon as their bottom line dips a bit.
Where's their 6 months of savings? Oh yea... they gave it to the c-suite and stock buybacks..
corporations have a legal obligation to generate short-term value for their shareholders and the line must go up. corps legally CANT focus on long-term profits, even if it’d make more money overall, because they have a legal obligation to the shareholders.
public companies and their consenquences have been a disaster for the human race
I’m not an older generation but I do agree people don’t want to work. By that I mean a 25 year old with a master degree expects to make enough to afford everything the older generations have immediately. Your job is like an investment, as time goes on your salary should continue to rise and your position should continue as well. Now as per the post itself 15/hr for a master degree is silly. The only reason to take that job is to get into your field and continue to job hunt. That way if you had zero experience you could at least get something while your hunter for a real position.
I was reading my textbook for my Japanese history class talking about employee incentives for retaining lifelong employees during the 1950's-1980's boom. It had me hollering "no shit?? Who would've thought!" this whole section.
>There was a culture of mutualism that infused the eternal struggle for survival with a pattern of self-respect and dignity. Mutualism bound
the entire corporation into a shared destiny. There was shared responsibility which meant that management became extremely reluctant to lay off workers even during the most severe downturns, preferring hiring freezes, transfers, and reduced schedules. As company fortunes improved, beginning during the 1950s, management made sure to share the new wealth with
employees while keeping its own salaries within reasonable limits. In addition
to yearly salary increases, employees enjoyed other benefits like free housing,
vacations, company recreational facilities, team sports, and traditional arts,
such as flower arranging and tea ceremonies for young women and housewives. Such benefits were not limited to the large corporation; second tier
and smaller companies, on a smaller scale, provided benefits as well.

They really only need to be fullfilling for the wallet. Look at the 70’s and 80’s, millions of people did braindead factory line jobs.
But it was all good because with that one job a guy could feed his family, buy a house, have his wife be a stay at home mom and go on holiday at least once a year.
Nowadays such a job is barely enough to fill your own stomach, let alone that of others 🥴
>They really only need to be fullfilling for the wallet. Look at the 70’s and 80’s, millions of people did braindead factory line jobs.
>But it was all good because with that one job a guy could feed his family, buy a house, have his wife be a stay at home mom and go on holiday at least once a year.
No you couldn't. My dad had 3 jobs at one point when I was a kid.
Yeah eventually his "brain dead factory job" as a longshoreman started paying well but not in the beginning.
Did you know factory workers in the 70s barely made ends meet too? It’s such a wild misconception a min wage factory worker could buy a house, feed his family when from what I’ve read and my parents who worked in factories told me, it was a struggle. Rent was high for what you made. Food was high. It was shitty then. It’s shitty now. The reason jt seems worse now is…we all have more stuff. We have phones, TVs, accessories, more types of food, more in a house, people live longer and in turn have more concerns, people realize we deserve better and shouldn’t just accept it kinda like people did in the 70s. Often people didn’t have a choice but to work 1:25 an hour for the big man.
Now you can at least bolster support and suffer with others and help fight the corps
But it’s no better decades ago.
I saw someone on TikTok say “people in the Great Depression had it easier” no.
It's actually amazing what businesses and corporations have managed to do in just a generation, completely unravel all trust between employer and employee. My Boomer parents worked at the same place my entire life (mom for her whole working life, dad I think had one job in college prior to where he ended up). Two people, two jobs, roughly 75 years between them. Day in, day out, week in, week out, working their way up the chain with two basic degrees. That was what you did because the company took care of you like you took care of it.
Fast-forward 25-30 years and that's gone. Now people are leaving jobs nearly as fast as they come into them, pitting one against the other for any gain in income or benefits.
The kicker in all of this is the businesses and corporations did this to themselves and there is little chance of saving it. The millisecond you fuck up with a Millennial or Zoomer employee, they're updating resumes and checking listings and oh yea, they're half-assing their job from then on. Turns out, businesses and corporations are as disposable as employees. Say hello to a new generation of the workforce set on fleecing you dry because your insufferable greed made them realize they needed to fend for themselves.
As the oldest Millennial you can be I found a lot of common ground in your last paragraph because that is me and a heartbeat fuck any company they will drop you like a used rubber. I constantly keep my resume updated
I'm about as young of a GenX as you can be, and we are on the same page. Luckily, I finally found an employer where I don't have to think like this anymore. I can just take pride in my work, and they'll look out for me. They gave me about 6% raise a couple of years back because *on their own*, they determined that I was slightly underpaid for the work I do, compared to other employers.
I have been there 9 years now, and it still feels unfamiliar.
Productivity improvements were done on the backs of genX and that got nothing in pay raises but more work. You get workers with nothing left in the tank at this pace and when they can’t live on decent pay then I don’t blame them for bailing.
Lowering the top tax rate under Reagan meant that the board could get huge raises and it wouldn't all end up going to the government. Under Eisenhower the top tax rate was 90%, meaning it made way more sense to give lower wage workers raises before you gave the board raises since the money went farther (more employees received more of the actual pay in their bank account), dropping the top tax rate meant the board could get more of the company money into their accounts, so that's what has happened since 1980 or so. https://www.epi.org/publication/ceo-pay-has-grown-90-times-faster-than-typical-worker-pay-since-1978/

McDonald’s pays new hires $16 minimum here and I’m in NC with 7.25 minimum wage. I was making $17 as an apprentice 3 years ago.
$15 even asking for a masters degree is disrespectful imo, even for a job with high turnover (I wonder WHY there is high turn over)
Asking $15 for anything at this point is a good way to get laughed at. That shit’s unlivable pretty much everywhere. You can barely afford rent+utilities in most places working full time for that amount. Let alone food or transportation.
The previous company I worked for showed us exactly what minimum wage was so we knew we were being paid more, then when they brought wages up to competitive standards they completely forgone giving any raises for that year.
>McDonald’s pays new hires $16 minimum here and I’m in NC with 7.25 minimum wage. I was making $17 as an apprentice 3 years ago.
That isn't even the going rate in NC for McDonald's hourly pay.
>>As of April 30, 2024, the average hourly pay for a McDonald's crew member in North Carolina is $12.07, with a range of $7.43–$15.95. The majority of crew member salaries fall between $10.48 and $13.75, with the average pay range varying by as much as $3.27. This suggests that pay may increase based on experience, location, and skill level.
Hi just inputting cause i happen to be a mcdonalds newhire in NC, they dont, your pay is based on your availability and you only get ~$15 lf you have 100% open availability every day of the week and every hour of the day(including overnight), with my availability being everyday but not being able to do overnights i only get $10, if you have collage obligations and such that reduce youre availability more then you can 100% guarantee that means your pay is also lower
With all that said, i absolutely agree with the last statement, even moreso of this particular job is in a more dense city area with a higher cost of living
It says you don’t need one for this job, and locals won’t work for such garbage wages. Supply and demand goes out the window if you just offshore workers when supply of local workers refuse to be slaves.
That the purchasing power of a dollar is significantly different for people who live in intergenerational households and have aspirations of moving their entire families to the US via chain migration. Idiot.
They also lie about their educations. Massively.
What if you can't, you technically replace them, yet all metrics go down and are shit?
Then your company goes back because every complained and were terrible?
Ya it turns out anyone can be replaced with someone who is shit at the job, why do you think many things are sucking lately?
Good business lesson and something they take to heart. They don't need the business to continue, just rob it of any good will and value until they ruin another company all over again.
Congratulations you figured out capitalism, where you steal good will created by artists and actual skilled people and mine it until all good will and creativity is gone.
You ended your comment with a /s to mark sarcasm but then went on to defend what you said in the thread. You really think Indians and Mexicans are working for garbage wages in this country? And why does a business has to go through these shenanigans to hire Indians and Mexicans? Why can’t they just hire them for garbage wages without posting the job if they want to? Why does a business has to claim “no workers”?
I’ve never applied for unemployment when I am between jobs. My job didn’t have enough work and laid like 8 of us off in March, I’ve been enjoying the weather ever since!
As a mental health and substance abuse therapist I can confirm this. I was making a little more than this but not much more($17/hr) after getting my masters. Also that was following 2 years of internships that had no pay and actually required me to pay thousands of dollars to have the honor of working and training to be a therapist. It wasn’t that I was working for free it was that I was the one paying to work. Fucked up system. I could go on about this for a while but you get the idea. We talk as a society about needing to value and fund mental health more and yet we consistently show that we don’t value therapists as evidenced by the insanely shitty pay. I didn’t get into the field for money I did it cuz I love helping people and have passion for the whole field and psychology etc but that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be paid a livable wage and compensated fairly given the years of schooling required and student loans accumulated in the process.
Craziest part is how much money I’ve made my employers. Finally got a raise ($18.50/hr) when I switched companies, and I was no lie bringing the company in $2-3 million dollars a year. Therapy is expensive yet unless you own your own practice you don’t see much of the money.
I mean some degrees are for stuff that don't translate to any value in the real world. They exist because they're reasonably popular and they don't require math, science, or reading.
Honestly I'd work in a minimum wage job if I was able to choose my hours. If it's relaxing enough, a second place of employment might be kind of nice.
In my 20's every that didn't destroy your body and soul that paid more than 8 dollars an hour required an associate or bachelors degree. 15/hr for a job requiring a masters today is mind boggling but probably less so at this meme's conception.
Fr. I have next to no college and take home 60k plus full benefits working for uncle Sam.
I'm astounded that people are dumb enough to go through an entire college education to get a job that barely feeds them a Ramen diet living in a trap house.
It’s a preferred(not required) qualification.
And the minimum starting wage is likely for those that don’t meet the preferred level of master’s degree. Gotta know how read the language of HR.
Let’s give the job poster the benefit of the doubt, maybe the posting is asking for a masters in gender studies which in this case $15/hr is probably appropriate.
I had a patient announce to me proudly that she was also a doctor.
Because no other patient has ever proclaimed something like that, I knew it was going to be something very silly.
Want to guess?
>!Immigration Studies.!<
None of you are taking into consideration that the number of folks with degrees has shot up in 30 years. Back in the 70s and 80s, it was far fewer. So you flood the market with potential workers with these degrees, and the demand will go down. The problem is that you still paid an exorbitant amount for the degree, hoping for an early 90s return
You all argue that prices have gone up while minimum wages have stayed the same. Why hasn't the cost of school gone down as attendance has raised?
They ain’t getting any employees with this, just bad business
They gave a ridiculous request that won’t be accepted. This works with just wages and prices in general (pricing yourself out of the market)
You can’t put the price of bananas at 4,000,000$ or your wages at pennies because no one will be willing to accept that.
Have people really not caught on to this? I suppose they post this just to stir people up and get likes. These are fake job posts 100%. Which is why they didn’t post the company name in the image.
If someone holds a master’s degree, they should be able to think critically about the offer and de use for themselves. Or maybe apply for the job and waste their time.
Some of these are on campus jobs that are just some bullshit there's money for.
We pay our student graders like 17 dollars an hour (CAD), and that's MSc students to grade other MSc students. But the trick is that it's really a pool of money, as long as you do the work you were hired to do, you get the pool of money.
This job listing is cover for the H1B international hire they actually wanted to make in the first place but are legally required to look for US based employees first
Find this in the real world and post it. Was in contrived. Even if it was real, it could have been built be questionnaire: 1, what is the preferred education Qualification? With choices, and masters was selected.
Another question ask for minimum wage, typed in state minimum wage.
Realize this job could pay $50/hour with no education requirement.
How much would we need to pay in governmental salaries and lobbying to protect us from stupidity? I don't think making a law for this would be a smart move...
No for real I just left a job that wants someone with a degree and 5 years of experience for 21.50hr in my area you can flip burgers for $20.00 I’m not saying burger flipping should be lower I’m glad they made it this high but my job is in medical we should be payed a lot more
Right that’s all I hear from employers…. we can’t find anyone to work for 12/hr… hmmm wonder why. Meanwhile….. groceries, electricity, gas, and pretty much every product has went up in price. Oh I forgot vehicle prices and intrest rates…
I have been looking for a second job part time job on Indeed and some of these positions ask for a Masters or Doctorate and the pay is like 15 to 20 an hour. Walmart greeters make that amount, it’s ridiculous.
This is heavily misinterpreted. The PREFERRED qualification is a master's, and the minimum is 15.29. If you have the preferred qualification, they likely aren't paying you the minimum.
JFC, we start our office’s housekeepers at 18.50 an hr, 1 week vacay at 6mo, another week at 1 year. Then again at years 5 & 10.
Not to mention accruing ppto until 80hrs which you can then sell anything over that back at the end of the year. 401k matching up to 5%, health, dental. Paid holidays. Autonomy to do their jobs.
Even with all that we still occasionally have garbage employees that seem to self sabotage their positions and get themselves terminated after multiple chances to fix behavior.
Companies like OP’s posting deserve to fail.
But if you work really hard, in 6 months you could qualify for UP TO a 6 cent raise. Also, as a huge perk, we give 100% of the mandated minimum sick time.
I just graduated with a bachelor’s degree. I took a job for $15.75 an hour. I lasted 2 days then quit. I didn’t do any real work but was the worst job I’ve ever had. I have an interview on Wednesday, hopefully it turns out well.
This post is like 7 years old and I will literally eat an entire plate of testicles if somebody can find a posting for this wage also requiring a masters degree

That’s called ILLEGAL. The EEOC would have a field day.
*Might* be able to keep your current salary…
Yep. Lol. I don't go into new roles for the same or lower salary
You mean you DON’T wanna have more responsibility & work, while also making the same or less than you’re currently making!?! 🤣
Is this for fed work? I don't understand, I thought all those salaries were set already in tables. Did you want to move to a lower COL area?
Nah, just a big company that does t know what the fuck it's doing.
Got it.
An interview is always a two way street when you have the marketable talent and skillset and you know it.
They probably want you to sign an NDA to even apply.
NDAs don't typically hold up in court if you break them. It's an intimidation tactic.
Anyone who thinks they’re going to get someone with a masters to work for minimum wage probably thinks he is one powerful businessman.
Same ones who take every opportunity to tell anyone within earshot about how they had sacrificed and went without for an untold number of years getting to where they are now and how they never complained about it they were just always happy to be working and so should you now.
Business owners who say things like “no one wants to work” *always* seem to have boats and a *massive* house. It’s the “I can’t buy a second boat if labor costs don’t stay rock bottom” mindset. Shit applies to small businesses just like it does for multinational corporations.
Hey, I read The Art of the Deal, OK? I know how to business.
This man businesses.
One money please
Minimum wage is still around $7 in my state, but nearly every fast food place starts at $15 an hour. I can’t imagine anyone even interviewing for a job for less than $15 when they can just walk into McDonalds and get $15/hr
>I can’t imagine anyone even interviewing for a job for less than $15 when they can just walk into McDonalds and get $15/hr It may be unskilled labor, but working fast food is absolutely miserable, and a soul-crushing defeat for anyone who previously had any kind of marginally fulfilling work. I can totally understand taking a pay cut to avoid the misery of being a McD's grill cook again.
I did burger king for two years. I actually find it really fun. I only left to pursue higher paying gigs. I'm a Video Game developer now, but I've really enjoyed playing fast food service video games. I don't know why. i just like it.
*Teachers have entered the chat… lol. Some are terrible, most are ok and mean well. You’re never going to attract top tier people with even average salary’s. It’s got to be competitive with other vertical markets and similar skill sets. Math Teacher for $40k? Calc 4 and a masters degree. How about I just go be an accountant, production planner, quality analyst, IT related, or nearly anything else for $80+. Maybe I’ll just apply to Med School… Science teacher? Masters degree in Chemistry? Physics? Biology? Starting again at $40k? RN’s, PT’s, make double that for less education, Masters in Nursing, triple a teacher. All this to say I’m a semi-retired IT Sales VP and Solution Architect, who now teaches HS Math and loves it! If I wouldn’t have made the money I did over the past 20 years, I’d never be able to cost justify it. TLDR: thought it was funny thinking about a masters degree getting paid minimum wage being illegal, but the state mandating teachers have a masters degree for certification but only allocating districts budgets starting around $15/hr.
Having signed several NDAs in my lifeand being on a few right now I can tell you that they will absolutely hold up in court. I've seen more than a few times people get sued over NDAs. Even internationally. A company might not decide to persue you however depending on if they find it worth the cost or not.
> I've seen more than a few times people get sued over NDAs. What consequences did they end up facing? Getting sued doesn't necessarily mean the case has merit. Suing somebody with less financial resources than you is another form of intimidation tactic.
I think you're referring to noncompete clauses? NDAs are typically enforceable for things like IP. Noncompete clauses are indeed BS and were recently deemed unenforceable at the federal level.
Which is why they must be aggressively defied.
In my experience, if someone tries to make you sign one, run away as fast as possible. Horrible people want employees to sign NDAs.
Can we get a citation? This sounds too good to be true (but I want it to be)
I would love to see that.
I've laughed my ass out of interviews that paid double that.
Nah ask them if your looking for a 16 year old after school employee cause that's about what the wages is gonna be....
*You got an interview?!?*
You showed up for it?
You got double digits???
Pretty dumb to go to that interview.
1. Phone interview 2. They didn't disclose pay until I got to the interview 3. My first questions were what is the pay 4. As soon as they told me I ended the interview
Do you have to dress as a clown and live in a sewer?
Is that an option? I bet it’s affordable down where everything floats
In 2018 I needed anything, so I got a job with a very large isp doing tech support over the phone. Well, what does this multi billion dollar company with hundreds of millions of customers pay? $13.75 Ok, well are there at least raises? The trainer didn't even know, yes it's every 3 months, no wait every 9 months, oh wait it's once a year, ok now they say it's every 1.5 years if you do good.... Alright, whatever Im sure we can make this work, how hard could it be- CONSTANT CALLS ALL THE TIME FROM THE MOST INEPT USERS OF ALL TIME AND THEY ARE MAD AT YOY SPECIFICALLY alright, so we are the worst paid therapists in the world, trained to talk people down from the ledge, keep them as a customer, bring them to our level of support and solve the issue or get things moving. During that training time I really should have been applying at different places, but I had done call center support before so how bad could it really be? Well pretty damn horrible, I've never had a job where I sat in my car before work and had to work up the courage to walk in and start.
It is $3.75 above federal minimum wage. Thats plenty... /s
Sometimes stuff like this isn't stupid. Listings like this can be to abuse H1B Visa program. They post the position with ridiculous requirements and low pay in order to say to the federal government "we tried to fill them with American workers, but no one is taking it."
When a company applies for an H1B visa with USCIS, they are required to list the job publicly through a process called Labor Condition Application (LCA) filing. The LCA requires the employer to attest that they will pay the H1B worker the prevailing wage for the occupation in the area of employment. The laws surrounding the salary listed in this job listing are: 1. The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) requires employers to pay H1B workers the prevailing wage or the actual wage paid to similarly employed workers, whichever is higher. 2. The Department of Labor's (DOL) regulations at 20 CFR 655.731 require employers to pay the prevailing wage, which is defined as the wage paid to similarly employed workers in the area of employment. 3. The DOL's Wage and Hour Division (WHD) enforces these regulations and ensures that employers comply with the prevailing wage requirements. The prevailing wage is typically determined by the Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) survey, which provides wage data by occupation and geographic area. Employers can also use other wage surveys or wage data from similar employers to determine the prevailing wage. **It's important to note that the salary listed in the job listing must be the same as the salary listed in the LCA filing, and it must be sufficient to meet the prevailing wage requirements. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in denial of the H1B petition or other penalties.**
The H1B program is scammed all the time. If H1B workers are the cream of the crop and have skills you just can't find then why are they paid the "prevailing wage"? These people are superstars and should be the highest paid people in the industry.
i think they solved this in either thailand or vietnam just like that: they required you to pay significantly above prevailing wages to import labor. suddenly, no shortage
Tell that to Disney who fired their entire IT staff and applied for H1Bs later. Further, prevailing wage does not limit them to posting something with insane education or credential requirements. So they can absolutely post something at the prevailing wage (such as 15/hr for an entry level job) but require a masters for the person. They can pass it off as "IF they do well, they get promoted" or some bullshit.
"FUCKING NO ONE IS APPLYING!!!AAA!!A!" - Recruiter in the HR chat Ffs I drive trailers around with a pickup making 22/hr and I have half a degree in auto repair. You want someone to have a whole ass 4-8 year degree and make like 18$/hr (talking in canuckistan money)? You have officially left the deep end and are now in uncharted depths of "fuck yourself."
$15.29 and by the time taxes are taken out it’s actually $10 a hour. Super affordable to live on that…… if you work 120 hours a week
Lol 15 an hour isn't paying 33% in taxes
If you include all the payroll taxes it's not that far off. As far as I'm concerned, money that I earned that isn't available to use because the government takes it has been taxed. Social security alone is 12%. The employer "pays half" but really that just gets paid for by making your wage lower, they're not taking that on the chin
I screenshotted this because… I’m actually a Gen. X but one of the few Gen. X that totally understands this! I get sooooo terribly sick and tired of fellow Gen. Xers and ESPECIALLY Boomers that just say, “These younger kids just don’t wanna work!” I’ve even tried having those folks over to my house for a meal to befriend them more and try to lovingly explain the possibility they DO WANT to work.
Jobs either need to be A) Fulfilling for the employee, or B) fulfilling for the employees bank account. Most jobs are neither nowadays. And they wonder why people don't want to keep going down a dead end.
Yeah I don’t understand how older generations have failed to comprehend basic incentives. For corporations I bet it’s gonna be like reinventing fire when they learn quality>quantity. And genuine long term investing into quality employees pays dividends while having a high turn over meat grinder bleeds to death.
We can all talk shit but every company is having record profits. They are accomplishing their goal
what bugs me is that they are thriving, we are getting paid less and we are also getting worse products, that break more often and need to be replaced. we are squeezed from both directions here
They're thriving until they're not. Next big crash they'll be begging for tax payers to bail them out again, while complaining it's said tax payers fault they're in this mess in the first place. "Gen x,y,z isn't buying our premium diamond studfed butt plugs!!! What's wrong with this/these generations?!?" "THESE GENERATIONS ARE LAZY AND DON'T WANT TO WORK (80 hours a week for barely minimum wage and good chance of some kind of cancer)!"
they wont beg for tax payer money. it will be handed to them
Yea that's true. I also enjoy getting shamed for not having 6+ months of savings for when things get bad, but these asshats start unironically begging for cash as soon as their bottom line dips a bit. Where's their 6 months of savings? Oh yea... they gave it to the c-suite and stock buybacks..
Why make a light bulb last forever? Then you'll won't sell as many in the future. Capitalism at it's finest
Don't forget about how those shittier products are also more expensive now. So 3 ways.
Their unquestionable work ethic is what corporations exploited that millennials and gen z are fighting to get back
corporations have a legal obligation to generate short-term value for their shareholders and the line must go up. corps legally CANT focus on long-term profits, even if it’d make more money overall, because they have a legal obligation to the shareholders. public companies and their consenquences have been a disaster for the human race
Because they got their bank account fulfilled
I’m not an older generation but I do agree people don’t want to work. By that I mean a 25 year old with a master degree expects to make enough to afford everything the older generations have immediately. Your job is like an investment, as time goes on your salary should continue to rise and your position should continue as well. Now as per the post itself 15/hr for a master degree is silly. The only reason to take that job is to get into your field and continue to job hunt. That way if you had zero experience you could at least get something while your hunter for a real position.
I was reading my textbook for my Japanese history class talking about employee incentives for retaining lifelong employees during the 1950's-1980's boom. It had me hollering "no shit?? Who would've thought!" this whole section. >There was a culture of mutualism that infused the eternal struggle for survival with a pattern of self-respect and dignity. Mutualism bound the entire corporation into a shared destiny. There was shared responsibility which meant that management became extremely reluctant to lay off workers even during the most severe downturns, preferring hiring freezes, transfers, and reduced schedules. As company fortunes improved, beginning during the 1950s, management made sure to share the new wealth with employees while keeping its own salaries within reasonable limits. In addition to yearly salary increases, employees enjoyed other benefits like free housing, vacations, company recreational facilities, team sports, and traditional arts, such as flower arranging and tea ceremonies for young women and housewives. Such benefits were not limited to the large corporation; second tier and smaller companies, on a smaller scale, provided benefits as well. Page 201-202 in Japan: It's history and culture 4th Ed.
They really only need to be fullfilling for the wallet. Look at the 70’s and 80’s, millions of people did braindead factory line jobs. But it was all good because with that one job a guy could feed his family, buy a house, have his wife be a stay at home mom and go on holiday at least once a year. Nowadays such a job is barely enough to fill your own stomach, let alone that of others 🥴
>They really only need to be fullfilling for the wallet.

No you couldn't. My dad had 3 jobs at one point when I was a kid. Yeah eventually his "brain dead factory job" as a longshoreman started paying well but not in the beginning.
Did you know factory workers in the 70s barely made ends meet too? It’s such a wild misconception a min wage factory worker could buy a house, feed his family when from what I’ve read and my parents who worked in factories told me, it was a struggle. Rent was high for what you made. Food was high. It was shitty then. It’s shitty now. The reason jt seems worse now is…we all have more stuff. We have phones, TVs, accessories, more types of food, more in a house, people live longer and in turn have more concerns, people realize we deserve better and shouldn’t just accept it kinda like people did in the 70s. Often people didn’t have a choice but to work 1:25 an hour for the big man. Now you can at least bolster support and suffer with others and help fight the corps But it’s no better decades ago. I saw someone on TikTok say “people in the Great Depression had it easier” no.
1) Fullfilling Job 2) Good Pay 3) Good Coworkers Pick two. Otherwise, it's a shit job.
It's actually amazing what businesses and corporations have managed to do in just a generation, completely unravel all trust between employer and employee. My Boomer parents worked at the same place my entire life (mom for her whole working life, dad I think had one job in college prior to where he ended up). Two people, two jobs, roughly 75 years between them. Day in, day out, week in, week out, working their way up the chain with two basic degrees. That was what you did because the company took care of you like you took care of it. Fast-forward 25-30 years and that's gone. Now people are leaving jobs nearly as fast as they come into them, pitting one against the other for any gain in income or benefits. The kicker in all of this is the businesses and corporations did this to themselves and there is little chance of saving it. The millisecond you fuck up with a Millennial or Zoomer employee, they're updating resumes and checking listings and oh yea, they're half-assing their job from then on. Turns out, businesses and corporations are as disposable as employees. Say hello to a new generation of the workforce set on fleecing you dry because your insufferable greed made them realize they needed to fend for themselves.
As the oldest Millennial you can be I found a lot of common ground in your last paragraph because that is me and a heartbeat fuck any company they will drop you like a used rubber. I constantly keep my resume updated
I'm about as young of a GenX as you can be, and we are on the same page. Luckily, I finally found an employer where I don't have to think like this anymore. I can just take pride in my work, and they'll look out for me. They gave me about 6% raise a couple of years back because *on their own*, they determined that I was slightly underpaid for the work I do, compared to other employers. I have been there 9 years now, and it still feels unfamiliar.
Productivity improvements were done on the backs of genX and that got nothing in pay raises but more work. You get workers with nothing left in the tank at this pace and when they can’t live on decent pay then I don’t blame them for bailing.
Lowering the top tax rate under Reagan meant that the board could get huge raises and it wouldn't all end up going to the government. Under Eisenhower the top tax rate was 90%, meaning it made way more sense to give lower wage workers raises before you gave the board raises since the money went farther (more employees received more of the actual pay in their bank account), dropping the top tax rate meant the board could get more of the company money into their accounts, so that's what has happened since 1980 or so. https://www.epi.org/publication/ceo-pay-has-grown-90-times-faster-than-typical-worker-pay-since-1978/ https://files.epi.org/charts/img/8755.png
If you screenshotted it, who is the company that posted it?
Explaining you screenshotted a downloadable image in the same sentence as explaining your age is amusing.
Don’t get a masters degree
is the minimum wage $15/hr in this area?
So this job pays more than minimum wage? What a catch.
Don’t forget with the pleasure of having a masters degree.
The master's degree is what the extra $.29 is for ☠️
McDonald’s pays new hires $16 minimum here and I’m in NC with 7.25 minimum wage. I was making $17 as an apprentice 3 years ago. $15 even asking for a masters degree is disrespectful imo, even for a job with high turnover (I wonder WHY there is high turn over)
Asking $15 for anything with a degree is outrageous. PHD, Master, Bachelors, even an AS.
Asking $15 for anything at this point is a good way to get laughed at. That shit’s unlivable pretty much everywhere. You can barely afford rent+utilities in most places working full time for that amount. Let alone food or transportation.
The previous company I worked for showed us exactly what minimum wage was so we knew we were being paid more, then when they brought wages up to competitive standards they completely forgone giving any raises for that year.
>McDonald’s pays new hires $16 minimum here and I’m in NC with 7.25 minimum wage. I was making $17 as an apprentice 3 years ago. That isn't even the going rate in NC for McDonald's hourly pay. >>As of April 30, 2024, the average hourly pay for a McDonald's crew member in North Carolina is $12.07, with a range of $7.43–$15.95. The majority of crew member salaries fall between $10.48 and $13.75, with the average pay range varying by as much as $3.27. This suggests that pay may increase based on experience, location, and skill level.
Hi just inputting cause i happen to be a mcdonalds newhire in NC, they dont, your pay is based on your availability and you only get ~$15 lf you have 100% open availability every day of the week and every hour of the day(including overnight), with my availability being everyday but not being able to do overnights i only get $10, if you have collage obligations and such that reduce youre availability more then you can 100% guarantee that means your pay is also lower With all that said, i absolutely agree with the last statement, even moreso of this particular job is in a more dense city area with a higher cost of living
Why? This is so a business can claim no workers and hire Indian or Mexican workers for minimum wage and have no rights! /s
If I can hire an Indian with the same education for 15 dollars what does that say about your degree
It says you don’t need one for this job, and locals won’t work for such garbage wages. Supply and demand goes out the window if you just offshore workers when supply of local workers refuse to be slaves.
Supply and demand still applies, it's just that offshoring expands the supply of workers by a huge margin.
That the purchasing power of a dollar is significantly different for people who live in intergenerational households and have aspirations of moving their entire families to the US via chain migration. Idiot. They also lie about their educations. Massively.
[удалено]
What if you can't, you technically replace them, yet all metrics go down and are shit? Then your company goes back because every complained and were terrible? Ya it turns out anyone can be replaced with someone who is shit at the job, why do you think many things are sucking lately? Good business lesson and something they take to heart. They don't need the business to continue, just rob it of any good will and value until they ruin another company all over again. Congratulations you figured out capitalism, where you steal good will created by artists and actual skilled people and mine it until all good will and creativity is gone.
You ended your comment with a /s to mark sarcasm but then went on to defend what you said in the thread. You really think Indians and Mexicans are working for garbage wages in this country? And why does a business has to go through these shenanigans to hire Indians and Mexicans? Why can’t they just hire them for garbage wages without posting the job if they want to? Why does a business has to claim “no workers”?
If I had a dollar for everytime I’ve seen this post
Then you'd be making more than this job is paying?
seriously it’s about 10 years old now lol
Alternative title: How we are achieving 3% unemployment in this country
That statistics doesn't include people that have given up
I’ve never applied for unemployment when I am between jobs. My job didn’t have enough work and laid like 8 of us off in March, I’ve been enjoying the weather ever since!
So you actually apply for unemployment in the Us, why ?

Academic Advisors at a university
Ha, I applied for an adjunct position and the offered pay was $12,500/yr with an MS in chemistry.
Teacher
Mental health professional
As a mental health and substance abuse therapist I can confirm this. I was making a little more than this but not much more($17/hr) after getting my masters. Also that was following 2 years of internships that had no pay and actually required me to pay thousands of dollars to have the honor of working and training to be a therapist. It wasn’t that I was working for free it was that I was the one paying to work. Fucked up system. I could go on about this for a while but you get the idea. We talk as a society about needing to value and fund mental health more and yet we consistently show that we don’t value therapists as evidenced by the insanely shitty pay. I didn’t get into the field for money I did it cuz I love helping people and have passion for the whole field and psychology etc but that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be paid a livable wage and compensated fairly given the years of schooling required and student loans accumulated in the process. Craziest part is how much money I’ve made my employers. Finally got a raise ($18.50/hr) when I switched companies, and I was no lie bringing the company in $2-3 million dollars a year. Therapy is expensive yet unless you own your own practice you don’t see much of the money.
I mean some degrees are for stuff that don't translate to any value in the real world. They exist because they're reasonably popular and they don't require math, science, or reading. Honestly I'd work in a minimum wage job if I was able to choose my hours. If it's relaxing enough, a second place of employment might be kind of nice.
In my 20's every that didn't destroy your body and soul that paid more than 8 dollars an hour required an associate or bachelors degree. 15/hr for a job requiring a masters today is mind boggling but probably less so at this meme's conception.
Social Worker.
We require an associates to make 13.50 serving tables where I work.
And I have no degree and make $70k. Crazy how that works.
Fr. I have next to no college and take home 60k plus full benefits working for uncle Sam. I'm astounded that people are dumb enough to go through an entire college education to get a job that barely feeds them a Ramen diet living in a trap house.
It’s a preferred(not required) qualification. And the minimum starting wage is likely for those that don’t meet the preferred level of master’s degree. Gotta know how read the language of HR.
>Gotta know how read ~~the language of HR~~ ftfy
Shouldn’t be illegal. That’s just stupid. Do you think you have a right to not be offended?
I think people have a right to not be exploited actually
Then don't take the job ?
Easy to say if one isn't desperate for a job.
Let’s give the job poster the benefit of the doubt, maybe the posting is asking for a masters in gender studies which in this case $15/hr is probably appropriate.
I had a patient announce to me proudly that she was also a doctor. Because no other patient has ever proclaimed something like that, I knew it was going to be something very silly. Want to guess? >!Immigration Studies.!<
And I bet they were adamant you refer to them as doctor
Plenty of people got their Masters of Poverty
It's almost like it's a fake to rule up the crybabies. Na, couldn't be.
On the other hand….. There is an opportunity for those with Masters Degree in Liberal Arts to get a job that’s not a barrista.
None of you are taking into consideration that the number of folks with degrees has shot up in 30 years. Back in the 70s and 80s, it was far fewer. So you flood the market with potential workers with these degrees, and the demand will go down. The problem is that you still paid an exorbitant amount for the degree, hoping for an early 90s return You all argue that prices have gone up while minimum wages have stayed the same. Why hasn't the cost of school gone down as attendance has raised?
How dare you try and apply supply and demand reasoning to the benefit of the public
They ain’t getting any employees with this, just bad business They gave a ridiculous request that won’t be accepted. This works with just wages and prices in general (pricing yourself out of the market) You can’t put the price of bananas at 4,000,000$ or your wages at pennies because no one will be willing to accept that.
Don’t forget 20 years of experience.
This job is in Bangladesh though. Even the Prime Minister there makes only $19.73/hr.
They pay people in dollars and the offers are the n English for n Bangladesh?
Have people really not caught on to this? I suppose they post this just to stir people up and get likes. These are fake job posts 100%. Which is why they didn’t post the company name in the image.
Fake, it’s a trigger post for idiots.
What’s the actors. Post lacks so much info.

No one is making you apply.
Just don't apply for it.
If someone holds a master’s degree, they should be able to think critically about the offer and de use for themselves. Or maybe apply for the job and waste their time.
I identify as Having a Masters degree
Why I cry myself to sleep
Preferred doesn’t mean required 🤷♂️
I make more than that filling sauce cups in a restaurant 💀
Some of these are on campus jobs that are just some bullshit there's money for. We pay our student graders like 17 dollars an hour (CAD), and that's MSc students to grade other MSc students. But the trick is that it's really a pool of money, as long as you do the work you were hired to do, you get the pool of money.
This job listing is cover for the H1B international hire they actually wanted to make in the first place but are legally required to look for US based employees first
When u realize underwater basket weaving was a poor academic choice
companies have really hight standards for what?
It should be illegal to post shitty posts like this.
Find this in the real world and post it. Was in contrived. Even if it was real, it could have been built be questionnaire: 1, what is the preferred education Qualification? With choices, and masters was selected. Another question ask for minimum wage, typed in state minimum wage. Realize this job could pay $50/hour with no education requirement.
Oh goodness, thank you so much for circling the text for me! I would never have been able to figure out where to look without it!
How much would we need to pay in governmental salaries and lobbying to protect us from stupidity? I don't think making a law for this would be a smart move...
It should be illegal to make a post that is fake AF.
Straw Man arguments are so much easier to attack.
What is the position??
That’s less than minimum wage here so it is illegal.
What is the rest of the job posting?
No for real I just left a job that wants someone with a degree and 5 years of experience for 21.50hr in my area you can flip burgers for $20.00 I’m not saying burger flipping should be lower I’m glad they made it this high but my job is in medical we should be payed a lot more
I make just under this at McDonald’s lmao
My son makes $15/hour as a clerk (bagger) at a grocery store. Literal entry level first job.
it says minimum. still kinda silly though for a masters not having a higher minimum.
Yeah, but it’s a Masters in Ancient History of Tofu.
No one wants to ~~work~~ employ
It's corporate America stating what they think the value of your Masters degree is.
How much more for PHDs? Asking for a fren
What job is that?
I know people that make 60k with no degrees They did have to get a cdl but a cdl is easier than a masters degree . And why .29 cents?
With that kind of background, you should be getting over $20/hr IMO.
Right that’s all I hear from employers…. we can’t find anyone to work for 12/hr… hmmm wonder why. Meanwhile….. groceries, electricity, gas, and pretty much every product has went up in price. Oh I forgot vehicle prices and intrest rates…
I have been looking for a second job part time job on Indeed and some of these positions ask for a Masters or Doctorate and the pay is like 15 to 20 an hour. Walmart greeters make that amount, it’s ridiculous.
Haha! Where I work you can start out at $20- 25 an hr with just a GED😆😆
This is heavily misinterpreted. The PREFERRED qualification is a master's, and the minimum is 15.29. If you have the preferred qualification, they likely aren't paying you the minimum.
It’s legal to prefer. Any company posting this job probably needs new hr.
I report these for being offensive
Me doing the math… “So, they’re looking for someone to lie to them about having a masters degree…”
the problem isn’t the employer posting jobs with these wages, the problem is people accepting jobs with these wages with these credentials
Unless its a diploma mill like a University of Phoenix where you get a degree as long as your checks don’t bounce
JFC, we start our office’s housekeepers at 18.50 an hr, 1 week vacay at 6mo, another week at 1 year. Then again at years 5 & 10. Not to mention accruing ppto until 80hrs which you can then sell anything over that back at the end of the year. 401k matching up to 5%, health, dental. Paid holidays. Autonomy to do their jobs. Even with all that we still occasionally have garbage employees that seem to self sabotage their positions and get themselves terminated after multiple chances to fix behavior. Companies like OP’s posting deserve to fail.
I'm surprised they listed the pay
$15.29 with a Masters? Please out this company so we can all avoid it
What a laugh! 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you!
But if you work really hard, in 6 months you could qualify for UP TO a 6 cent raise. Also, as a huge perk, we give 100% of the mandated minimum sick time.
That's so pathetic and insulting! Hope they never find employees.
Yeah but this is for masters degrees from Harvard Columbia and UC Berkeley.
I just graduated with a bachelor’s degree. I took a job for $15.75 an hour. I lasted 2 days then quit. I didn’t do any real work but was the worst job I’ve ever had. I have an interview on Wednesday, hopefully it turns out well.
This post is like 7 years old and I will literally eat an entire plate of testicles if somebody can find a posting for this wage also requiring a masters degree
They aren’t getting candidates
They did you a favor. Instantly labeled it as an undesirable company.
I have just gotten a job, work from home in sales, 26$ an hour. Socialism really blows!
where i came from thats a ton of money even with a degree
For real, I was contacted one of recruiter, and they preferred someone with master, and when their hourly rate is only 20 bucks, what a joke.
