As many of you out there, I've been on the job search due to an unstable and uncertain job I currently have. As back-up I've decided to start searching for another job and am willing to take a pay cut. However many of these companies seem to be asking a lot from the potential employee for a mear fraction of what they are actually worth.
I've been frequently visiting Craigslist.com and by doing so, feel insulted for so many experienced workers who are now out of work and are desperate to find anything that will put them back to work who come across a page-long list of job duties only to get to the end of the page to learn this employer is only offering $9 per hour. HIGHWAY ROBBERY is exclusively the correct phrase that should come to mind after encountering such a post for employment.
I just can't imagine the audacity that some of these companies must have who are knowingly taking advantage of this recession in order to lower their pay rate and demand the same amount of work and responsibilities from an employee. It disgusts me!
Thoughts, ideas and interesting tid-bits about anything and everything from Chrystal's perspective.
