ITS THOSE DAMN MARS FAMILY AT IT AGAIN!!

Hershey is going to start making chocolate??

[–] modifier@lemmy.ca 52 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Their brown wax seems to be selling well enough. Not sure why they would change it up now.

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 19 points 17 hours ago

Too many people are sticking a wick in the 'chocolate' and getting some very long lasting candles and, like most big companies, they really didn't like people getting any real value for money so they've dropped the wax.

Obviously it'll still taste like shit, just not waxy shit.

[–] bobs_monkey@lemmy.zip 90 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

It's definitely Willy Wonka's American branch factory

[–] iltoroargento@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 20 hours ago

I was gonna say Slugworth haha getting that corporate espionage goin'

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 14 points 16 hours ago

To be fair it it could very easily be a contractor for Hershey's, or a vendor that works on/sells their equipment.

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 10 points 15 hours ago

It is a mystery.

[–] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 35 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Just copy paste the job description to Google and it'll likely end up to the original job posting. These recruiters are so lazy they don't think anyone will ever get to their secret client lol.

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 17 hours ago

This is the real LPT. Recruiters are so annoying to deal with. Avoid them if you can.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 37 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

What the actual fuck... I need to find someone who is deeply familiar with the types of jobs a person could have.

If you told me "chocolate technology specialist" was a thing, I'd have probably gone to college for it. Instead I'm stuck in a factory, just dreaming about chocolate... And then going home and eating it lol

[–] DarkSirrush@lemmy.ca 27 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

I know someone who did go into food science to get into a chocolate production factory - they were done eating chocolate for good after their first 6 months.

Turns out all you can eat samples is a great way to get food fatigued real fast.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 18 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

The best way to hate something you love is to make it your job.

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 11 points 18 hours ago

That's no fucking joke. I started with a passion for learning about computers. I love what I do now because I'm a one man company and answer only to myself and my contracts, but I didn't turn on a computer outside of work for fucking years because of the burnout.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 13 points 20 hours ago

I was once at some children party thingy where they had free cotton candy. My friend and I ate so much that we completely swore off of the stuff for all eternity.

Then I went and got married to a gal with a cotton candy machine...

[–] WolfmanEightySix@piefed.social 4 points 18 hours ago

My brother in law did similar…worked in a chicken factory, not in production, for a while…put him off chicken for a year or so.

[–] pahlimur@lemmy.world 7 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

I'm a system integrator, and though I don't do it right now, I'd consider myself an expert in dairy. I could see someone specializing in chocolate similarly.

The reason people don't know about these jobs is because they aren't advertised very well. My MS in mechanical engineering barely touched on it and I sort of fell into it on accident by knowing someone in the industry.

Edit: thinking about it for a moment, I actually did some work for a European chocolate producer about a decade ago

*Palmer, dollar store "chocolate".

[–] WolfmanEightySix@piefed.social 4 points 18 hours ago

You could just say USA chocolate.

[–] LordOfTheFlatline@lemmy.zip 10 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Clearly someone at the company has been betrayed hard enough to become a supervillain. They seek to destroy the company from the inside. The job is for hacking the chocolate making machines and committing arson.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

They want the OP to steal an Everlasting Gobstopper.

[–] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 16 points 19 hours ago

You'll be working for Slugworth

[–] cdf12345@lemmy.zip 13 points 18 hours ago

The Hershey ice cream company, which (this is real) is not associated with the famous chocolate maker

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 12 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Wait do people seriously apply to mystery companies? I'd interpret this as the company knowing their reputation is bad.

Tell you what, I'll apply if you don't need to see my name until I'm hired.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 12 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

It's not always because their reputation is bad. Sometimes they have a really bad employee that they want to replace, but who will definitely know if their job is posted. This happens a lot at the executive level.

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 14 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

And a lot of recruiting companies are afraid you'll bypass them and go apply directly, thus cutting out the middle man and they're not allowed to send out goons to break your kneecaps.

[–] WolfmanEightySix@piefed.social 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

It’s a legal thing in the EU. Neither side can see the others details.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 4 points 15 hours ago

I can understand not wanting discrimination on employees, but we really ought to be allowed to google businesses before spending our time applying. Some of them are blatant scams!

[–] badelf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 18 hours ago

Damn, I didn't know anyone was hiring for industrial espionage! Never heard of that career path.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 6 points 18 hours ago

Maybe they’re planning to start making chocolate.

[–] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 11 points 21 hours ago

Kirby vacuums. They need someone familiar with chocolate because a vacuum can clean chocolate

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 11 points 21 hours ago

Wilbur Buds > Hershey Kisses

Bet it pays minimum wage

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 4 points 18 hours ago

Ew, Hershey chocolate is gross. It tastes like vomit. No wonder they're hiring anonymously.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 6 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

Well, is this a situation where many chocolate companies conglomerated to a specific area?
