Honestly, I find these emails more amusing than infuriating. Is that $800 per week? Total? I guess I’ll never know, because I didn’t become a software developer just to work in a warehouse.

    I like to reply to these with tons of questions, no stone unturned. If they give a reasonable answer is likely legit. I get a bunch of these because of a resume that had all my warehouse experience on it, big mistake since I don’t know who has it.

    Honestly looks like a scam email because it’s as little detail as possible. Did you check the email? Bet it’s going to be a bunch of numbers “@gmail”

    Is it a remote position? I’d consider working in a warehouse if I didn’t have to leave my home.

    My favorite version of this was an ad for applebees that said “you belong here!”. Like, I know that they meant it to be welcoming, but it came across as vaguely threatening …

      I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn’t it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe.

        One of my favourite quotes from the show.
        Glad I’m not the only one that remembers it.

          It’s easily one of my favorite TV shows of all time.

          Though the line that’s been rolling through my head since Gaza started is Delenn getting pissed at Lando and G’kar, shouting “When does it end?!” That rant is…. Piercing.

    I don’t know if these things are sent en masse by a bot or by a person, but it’s like they don’t even skim your profile before hitting send. Like I specifically said “Work from home only”, what makes you think I want your “hybrid” opportunity in bumfuck Illinois that barely pays what it should for my experience?

    I’ve got these emails before, almost exactly like this. I have a PhD, but sure, I guess I’m qualified for this too.

    Imagine turning down $800 an hour because you don’t want to work in a warehouse /s

    These emails never match the resume. I work at a warehouse and like the job, but I definitely wouldn’t trust some random person spamming me. When I was looking for a job, some guy was trying to get me to take this really sketchy job selling phones. Thanks but no thanks.
