Laughable Job Listings That Perfectly Explain Why "No One Wants To Work Anymore" (31 Pics)

COVID is still not over, and many people have found themselves cut short from their unemployment benefits or forced to return to working in a physical office. Many employers have struggled to convince their employees to come back to work; they tried recruiting new ones, but no one was ever interested in working for them. So they all collectively decided that "nobody wants to work."

People can't afford to live off their salaries anymore and aren't willing to risk their health for minimum wage, part-time positions. Companies reacted by complaining and repeating the popular phrase: "no one wants to work" over and over, instead of raising their wages, increasing health protocols, and offering attractive benefits.

They are all deflecting responsibility to workers rather than facing the actual problem and fixing it. Wages should be raised in the face of worsening conditions and inflation; otherwise, people will not be motivated to work and will leave for better jobs.

Many people are finding it difficult to secure good jobs that pay well and offer favorable working conditions. Employers aren't making it easy either; their job listings often have ridiculous requirements, and even when they don't, if you proceed with the application, they still manage to find a way to trick you later.

Apparently, no one wants to work anymore. I wonder why?

Some people have even stopped showing up to work entirely.

1. "So much wrong here, where to begin?"

2. "Seen in a job description for a marketing role on LinkedIn... How is this okay?"

3. "Instant red flag when religion is mixed with an office job description."

4. "WalletHub says in the job description must be willing to work 55-hour weeks. Otherwise, I guess you don’t 'work hard.'"

5. "I know you all love toxic work environments! Here's a job description from a previous employer where I was an unpaid intern. (1/2)"

"Winning big matters."

6. "The job description wasn't horrible... until I read the last line."

7. "Imagine working for a company that misspells in their job description and demands you sign up for their crappy MLM as a 'benefit' r/antiMLM."

8. "Job looking specifically for women wants to pay $13 per hour (below minimum wage for LA) and wants 'strong knowledge of local laws' despite offering a lower-than-legal wage."

Two dollars lower than the minimum wage in L.A...

9. "The number of red flags in this job description alone is astounding."

10. "And they call us 'unprofessional' with a job description like this..."

11. "This is a red flag roughly the size of a football field."

12. "You definitely know it is a good work environment when the job description mentions that the last person did a bad job."

13. "Everyone has to see this job description for ONE PERSON!"

14. "A job description for an Administrator/Receptionist role I saw a while back while job-hunting. The 'person specification' is the creepiest set of requirements I think I’ve ever seen…"

15. "This job description tells me everything I need to know."

16. "The worst job description of all time?"

17. "Found this earlier today. The job description states it’s 20 hours a week. How is this not illegal?"

18. "Thought I’d share the most ridiculous job description I’ve ever seen."

19. "Job descriptions for Assistant Manager and Store Manager at a typical retail chain during the Great Resignation (2021, colorized)."

20. "Actual 'benefit' listed in the job description. How sad is it that following the law is now listed as a 'benefit'?"

21. "And from reading the job description, it is very obvious that '25 years' is not a typo. Have a wonderful night!"

22. "My company included this tidbit about their toxic expectations in the job description when they posted my position."

23. "So you're the receptionist, the sales department, the housekeeper, and a shill during your free time. Because when you work at a 'spa-like' California plastic surgery office, you should expect minimum wage, abstract job descriptions, and unpaid labor -- and MAYBE you'll get full-time."

24. "If the work you have to do isn't part of the job description, then change the job description."

25. "Saw this job listing for a flyer distributor for an insurance company. When you read the description, it says you’ll actually be a mascot. They have this worker out there even on 100-degree days. 'Warmer than usual temperatures.'"

26. "Dodged a bullet by triple-checking the hiring paperwork's description of the job; this sub has taught me to know my worth, and it is above that hourly rate."

27. "Pay me $700/month to be my caretaker and handyman."

You can't expect people to willingly come work for you when you are not willing to pay them fairly or expect unusual things from them. It's not that people don't want to work anymore; employers are no longer offering attractive job positions.

They should do better and be better. Let's hope this collection opens a few eyes.
