Hyperbole seems to be lost today. And I can’t blame anyone. With the nonsense going on in the world everyone is on edge.

I have read offers like that from recruiters. It is unbelievable how poorly HR departments think of skilled and trained people. I literally have that experience and the recruiters BRAGGED that those skills will bring in $65k per year. Pathetic pay. Every other job is contract short term. No one has a stable job in higher educated in demand jobs. Boeing, Lockheed, Ratheon. They fire every one each two years. The hobby companies like Virgin Galactic and Firefly manage to find talent with the “romance” of a startup but don’t pay much and demand 90 hour weeks.

But in reality I have seen ads as stupid as this. Decades of experience required with PhD level education offer less than a skilled plumber and electrician.

[It is unbelievable how poorly HR departments think of skilled and trained people.]

It has reduced the workforce skill level measurably. How companies could turn over their workforce to some of these people boggles the mind. I’d say 95%+ don’t understand my resume. I’ve tried dumbing-it-down for today’s world. Sigh
