Like fucking Neo.
He got his answers.
Salary: Minimum
Responsibilities: Maximum
Work culture: Toxic
And that's why you should always ask about those things 😅
So basically every job that exists
I can get that the employer would want to dodge any salary discussion, but not even responsibilities and work culture? Does the position even say what is the job?
"Come join our ever growing family if you enjoy fast pace work environments and every day being something new to discover!"
"Everything is always on fire and we have no plans to change the systemic causes of this, but we do sometimes get drunk and cheat on our spouses with each other."
taking notes And how many sleep with you coworker functions are there every year?
At least one each quarter
But aren't they're meant to be family?
"Help me step-coworker, I got stuck while using the photocopier"

Tipping their hand that they didn't put at least a ballpark salary range in the listing, meaning they're trying to fuck you.
No responsibilities in the position description usually means "literally everything is going to roll downhill to your desk whenever someone feels like not doing their work".
Fun fact: posting a job ad without a salary range isn’t even legal in California for any business that has more than something like 10 employees.
"Pay? I don't know, what's the least you'll take?"
Some jobs are "buffer hires" (look it up) some jobs are "beeing the scapegoat for the real culprit at a higher position", either one wouldnt be really discussed in a regular interview.
when they dont want to discuss important basic things in the interview just pick your favorite one and ask if its such a position, but if you do, plz report how it went.
"The job is you do what I tell you, and you do it RIGHT NOW! UNDERSTAND?"
I’m just kind of stunned by the “summarize this email” button. It’s 3 sentences!
Yeah.. I saw this on a technical blog post for developers the other day and almost bust a blood vessel
"Read with my fucking eyes"
Can they add a button "understand this for me"? I don't feel like a summary is reducing my effort enough. /s
"get fucked"
Do people regularly get emails long enough to justify a summary button? I think I've seen those maybe once out every thousand emails I get.
Or is it summarizing the whole thread?
I do, but that's because I subscribe to hobby newsletters that tend to run long. I wouldn't use a summary button because I want every bit of that content.
Not regularly, but sometimes I'll come back to work after a few days off, and find one of those threads of 200 emails pinging around chaotically.
In those cases, I'm happy to let Copilot try and figure out what the hell was going on. Worst case it gives me a dogshit summary and I'm no worse off.
Some people do feel the need to write essays for emails.
In my region, failure to disclose salary on the job description is illegal.
It's a DEI law, since hard salary negotiation supposedly favours one group over another, and for us that's a hard law to fight with a huge compensation cap.
So the employer already comes off as a sleazeball.
Good thing there's a red box around the important part, I almost missed it.
Ask where the exit to building is. RUN!
Homie applied to squid game.
Cheap rage bait.
This is fake.
sounds professional - is the very opposite. you were lucky
This is fake/satire... No one is going to tell you cannot ask about responsibilities
