Many of us are aware of the struggles of finding a new job. You're perpetually sprucing up your resume, constantly writing cover letters, going to countless interviews. Well, all these efforts seem worth it if you land your dream job. However, sometimes you end up with an offer that's so terrible that it makes you question a company’s respect for its workforce.

Today, Pandas, we've compiled a list that highlights some ridiculous compensation packages out there. From less than the bare minimum pay to no-holiday policies, these posts might leave you slightly infuriated. So, sit back and discover some job openings that you definitely don't want to apply to.

    My boss declined my vacation (after having 4 months notice) to Hawaii to propose to my girlfriend because they (needed me badly) in the office… Obviously work/life balance didn’t mean anything to them. Anyways… here’s my view. (She said yes)

    Good for you! I'm happy for you both! :-) I requested a certain day off to get married. AND THEY DENIED IT! (Called in "sick" and came into work the next day). Crazy times.

    Millions of people in the US left the workforce during and after the Covid-19 pandemic due to exhaustion from work and they started to reconsider what they really wanted from their jobs. This made them seek better balance between their careers and personal lives, good pay, and more fulfilling careers.

    Amid “the Great Resignation,” the phrase "Nobody wants to work anymore" became a common expression among business owners and HR professionals who were having difficulties hiring new people.

    During that time, people were looking for flexible work options because they wanted to spend more time with their families. Many people also took some time off to gain new skills so that they could improve their career prospects.

    That sentiment still holds true today. A recent PwC survey that involved 56 thousand workers worldwide found that aspiration for job hopping has risen significantly. According to the report, 28% expressed the desire for job change in 2024 compared to 19% in 2022 when the Great Resignation happened.

    This should accompany every job posting. I mean, every time a job is posted, this should be presented to the poster to acknowledge. This should be preprinted on paper job applications, so it's in the face of those who peruse them prior to the interview process.

    For one thing, feeling stagnant or trapped is one of the reasons why people leave their employment positions. When you keep doing the same tasks day in day out without any challenge at all, you may feel like your career is not moving forward.

    As LinkedIn COO Daniel Shapero wrote in his recent blog post, “While it’s easy to mistake low attrition for contentment, in reality many employees feel stuck and wish they could do something new but haven’t yet made the leap.” We are always ready to jump on opportunities that can rekindle our passion.

    Many recruiters put stuff in as hurdles without knowing anything about what they're asking. Or worse, value a degree in underwater basket weaving over years of hands-on experience.

    Pay rises vary across offices depending on many aspects such as inflation rate, geographical location, type of industry, and individual job performance. But there are times when workers feel dissatisfied with their paychecks.

    Some people work in companies that they hate simply because they need money. However, if you are unhappy with your job, chances are you might quit or look for better opportunities.

    A toxic job culture can push employees out the door. You may experience burnout if you feel you are working a lot without being fairly paid as an overtime worker. In some cases superiors can be rude to their juniors, disrespecting them and their contributions.

    When an employee feels devalued by their employer, they lose motivation for staying on the job.

    And for some reason, these same people are against universal healthcare. The American HC system is a convoluted mess of private insurance companies, HMOs, and healthcare networks. It's broken and inefficient. A single payer mandate would save BILLIONS. Not just for patients but for EVERYONE.

    Continue to use the facilities whenever you need to, and if they try and fire you for it, file a complaint with BOLI and the ACLU. And maybe call an employment attorney. No one, and I mean NO ONE, tells me when I can or cannot use the bathroom.

    While on a job search, if individuals come across poor compensation packages, they may not even apply for the position. Can you imagine working at a place that forces you to work even when you are very sick? It’s off-putting when companies do not care about the well-being of an employee.

    Fast forward to 2024 and they're forcing public schools to hang the 10 commandments in classrooms. Out of 10 commandments, there are exactly 3 that matter to the modern world. Thou shall not lie, Thou shall not kill, and Thou shall not commit adulatory. The other 7? I am the lord thy god, thou shall not have no gods before me, thou shall maintain the Sabath, ETC. A bunch of bronze age BS.

    American work value makes me sick
    It’s so f**king gross that people applaud this shit. We shouldn’t have to do this. We shouldn’t have to because we’re broke, or because they’re short staffed, this isn’t okay. I’m so sick of society deep throating overwork.. instead of paying what people should be paid & prioritizing mental health & family s**t like this is applauded or like when I was a single mom and worked 3 full time jobs to stay afloat literally seeing my kids 15 min at a time in between naps and breaks.

    Massive deficit spending in the US leads to inflation. Inflation serves as a wealth fax to those with savings and discomfort (sometimes severe) for those living paycheck-to-paycheck as cash inflows don't grow as fast as outflows. Blame Congress and the last two Presidents.
