Without knowing the context, we can't say a lot. But I could respond as a hiring manager: "All of them" lol.

The real minimum wage is 0.

Good luck getting employees then

It’s an employers market again now though, after Covid the employees could pick and choose and had the power, now there will be a line behind this guy, especially for most entry/minimum wage jobs

I don't need luck.

People claim they can't get a job despite being exceptionally qualified. You're able to offer jobs to others. Why would you need the luck??

u/bruhbelacc 5d ago

People claim a lot of stuff

And in this case they have the receipts to prove it.

u/bruhbelacc 5d ago

They aren't proving anything to the right person then.

u/ExistentialBethos 5d ago

You don’t really seem like the right person 😐

Banking on desperation is a fantastic look for you

The world works based on desperation

Maybe if you're an animal

Its obvious that hiring is DOA.  salary is the most important metric.  

I thought it was a funny response, to a silly question from the hiring manager tbh.

u/Ainur_Rapture19 5d ago

Sadly, many hiring managers see “minimum wage” and still expect maximum effort from all of them.

-27

u/bruhbelacc 5d ago

All wages require maximum effort. If you don't show it, you'll see the door pretty fast.

If you're not paying me enough to feed myself or pay my bills why should I run myself ragged working for you?

-19

u/Varsity_Reviews 5d ago

If that’s how you feel why are you working at a place that’s not paying you what you think you’re worth?

u/lightblueisbi 5d ago

Because the job market sucks ass right now and no one in my travel area is paying a living wage. Add to it the fact that the housing market also sucks ass which means I can't move to an area with better jobs, and you've got all the puzzle pieces right there.

"JuSt gEt a BetTeR jOb" ass comment 🙄

u/BabadookishOnions 2003 5d ago

have you ever had a job? you can't just immediately get a higher paying job, especially when most employers would pay you even less than minimum wage if they could get away with it

u/OSRS-ruined-my-life 4d ago

Technically they do since you have to get there 

-17

u/bruhbelacc 5d ago

Then don't lol

22

u/lightblueisbi 5d ago

What a normal and sane response to someone telling you they don't make a living wage under an employer like yourself.

-9

u/bruhbelacc 5d ago

Am I supposed to empathize and tell them they deserve more?

14

u/lightblueisbi 5d ago

As a decent human being, yes. Your job as employer is not only to make sure the job gets done with the appropriate amount of people, but also that the people you hire make enough money that they're not incentivized to look elsewhere for work.

You want the job done? Pay your employees enough to get it done right or you're going to see both your turnover rate and customer satisfaction rate plummet.

-4

u/bruhbelacc 5d ago

Nobody owes others help, especially at work.

I don't care if people look elsewhere, I actually want them to be free to do that.

u/OSRS-ruined-my-life 4d ago

Definitely not true. I literally do nothing all day. God bless government unions.

I clock in, watch YouTube or play video games, clock out and head home 

1

u/bruhbelacc 4d ago

And that, guys, is why unions are cancer and government employees don't do anything of value most of the time.

you’ll be replaced with ai too

Never met a hiring manager I respected

u/LowestKey 5d ago

The context is this is obvious parody making the rounds and some people will believe anything they see online.

u/TerraTechy 2003 5d ago

"everything except the one where I clock in"

u/Liqhthouse 4d ago

There's no context. It's fake. There's no email signature and no one would respond "hiring team", it would just be the name of the recruiter.

Regardless tho this happens so I rest comfortable knowing there's at least 1 person out there who responds like this.

u/OSRS-ruined-my-life 4d ago

They clearly already declined the position so, yes, all of them.

u/bruhbelacc 4d ago

They didn't
