Person With 18 Years’ Experience In HR Breaks Down This Insane Job Posting And It Shows Why It’s Important To Read Red Flags

These days, when the job market is one hell of a tough nut to crack, jobseekers are willing to submit their resume to most of the job openings they find suitable for their skills. But they should never underestimate the power of a job listing, which may tell you more than thousands of words the hiring manager will say during an interview.

This job ad by TGG Accounting, a small accounting firm with two office locations in Southern California, turns out to be an example of it. Recently, a person with 18 years of experience in human resources broke down their “insane” job listing, explaining not one, not two, but too many concerning red flags hidden there in plain sight.

“Buckle up. It’s a job post breakdown of epic proportions,” the person announced in a post that has been reshared all over the internet, from Reddit’s “Antiwork” community to the “Notshrmapproved” Instagram page. So scroll down below to see what they had to say.

“It’s difficult to find out just from the job listing whether a workplace is toxic,” Christine Mitterbauer, licensed and ICF-approved career coach and serial entrepreneur told Bored Panda. “One trick though is to check out how well the company is doing financially. This isn’t a guarantee, but if the company is making money, it is more likely to be able to invest in its employees and have happy, thriving people work for it,” she said.

“Another thing is to check out is the engagement and tone of the social media posts of the company. If employees are engaging actively with posts, and the content isn’t just about achieving targets, this might be a good indication that people genuinely like working for the company,” Christine explained.

According to the career coach, you can get a much better feel from speaking and ideally meeting face to face with one or several people who work in the company. “Some of the questions to ask potential future colleagues include the simple question of how they like working there. Also, looking at the staff turnover, ideally, you’d like people to have worked there for a long time. You can also ask for training and development opportunities.”

And this is how people reacted to the debunked job listing

Exact! This is the definition of a wife > 20 years ago or a stay at home parent of a toddler who does neglects their own needs (naps, eating before being cranky, will overdo screen time, fighting potty training, needs someone to brush their teeth, etc...) So outsourcing previous mommy or wife duties.

Been there, done that. I was hired to be an assistant/bookkeeper and within weeks I was doing laundry, grocery shopping, vacuuming and shoveling dog s**t. Never again.

How is this even legal? The person's salary is going to be paid out of the company's budget, right? They can't count all these personal care duties as business expenses, can they? At the very least, the shareholders and board of directors should be asking why their company has to pay to hold the CEOs hand.
