Have you ever come across a job posting that makes you wonder if the company is out of touch with reality? I recently stumbled upon a listing that left me speechless. The role in question is offering a salary of $70,000 to $140,000 per year, which sounds decent at first. But here’s the catch: they expect the successful candidate to work 12 hours a day, 6-7 days a week, and be on call at all times. And to top it all off, they’re offering a measly 0.1% equity stake in the company.
I’m not sure what’s more disturbing – the fact that they think this is a reasonable ask or that they’re trying to lure someone into a potentially toxic work environment. It’s a stark reminder that just because a job pays well, it doesn’t mean it’s worth sacrificing your well-being.
The real question is, what’s the breaking point for employees? At what point do we say, ‘Enough is enough, and I deserve better?’ It’s time for us to reevaluate our priorities and recognize that our time and energy are valuable assets that shouldn’t be exploited.
So, what do you think? Would you consider taking on a role with such demanding expectations, or do you think it’s time for companies to rethink their approach to employee workload and compensation?
