Lately, complaints that “nobody wants to work anymore” have been all over the headlines. Businesses claim there’s a real talent shortage with people losing motivation during the pandemic and not bothering to apply to their jobs.

Many of them forget that job seekers these days are smart enough to do their homework and find the information about the employer before they bother to apply. And if they don’t like what they learn, they skip the ad and go on to another one. In fact, 95% of job seekers surveyed by Glassdoor say an employer's reputation impacts their decision. Call it captain obvious, but many business owners seem to be totally oblivious about it.

And often you don’t need to dig deep to find red flags in a job description. Awful working conditions and unattainable expectations repel potential employees for the sake of their own good. So when Twitter user Janel Comeau shared some examples of disastrous job conditions with the caption “‘nobody wants to work anymore’ starter kit,” people immediately responded by sharing some more. Below is quite a solid collection of jobs that scream “run” from a mile away.

This Twitter user shared a couple of pics of awful work conditions to point out how delusional business owners are to complain that 'nobody wants to work anymore'
