"This is a temporarily non-paid position." Well then, I'm a permanently non-interested person.

Many job postings go like this: Looking for someone smart enough to do this job but dumb enough to work for the pay we offer.
@domdru2967
I'm actually tempted to apply to one of these unpaid remote jobs, pretend work is being done, but do nothing and when the deadline comes, just say "you get what you payed for".
@coffeevixen45
It's amazing that even with the labor shortage, companies are still pulling the same BS - micromanaging, low pay, insane interviewing processes (personality tests, drug tests, multiple interviews for shitty pay).
@CashMoneyReckadz
I'll Never forget this one job that tried to recruit me right out of college that clearly takes advantage of the young and inexperienced. When I showed up for the in person interview, found out it was Monday- Saturday from 11am-7pm (Impossible to hold down a second job with those hours) 100% commission with target pay at a whopping $49k (2016 Dollars). I explained to them that I made more as a Bartender working 4-5 nights/ week. Then, the "director" who was extremely cold and abrupt asked me on the spot if I want the job, and I combated him about how benefits we're never even discussed and he retorted "You're 22, aren't you still under your parents health insurance"? I left immediately after that.

Productivity tracking is the devil. I need to get up and move around, go to the bathroom, take a personal call, etc. periodically. I do these things at my current job (both when I’m on site or working remote) and no one cares. I’ve had employers who have micromanaged my time (one while I was pregnant) and I left them in the dust. I’m a grown up, as long as I get my work done and do it well, sit down and leave me be.

My 15 year old nephew was getting yelled at on his third day of his very first job. I’m glad he understood that wasn’t acceptable and walked out! He’s been fine at his second job for months now. They don’t abuse him there.
@kimmatura3564
After several rounds of interviews. I was offered a job. They said it is salary and mandatory 50 hours a week. It was at least $20k below industry standard pay. They asked if 50 hours a week was a problem. I said yes. I was told I could work 40 hours but not to tell anyone else. Then they told me they have a hard time getting people to accept their jobs. I said “Well you under pay and expect more hours.” I declined the job.

Worked at a golf course where the owner told employees at a meeting that "it is a privilege to work here". He also mentioned to the golf course maintenance staff that its better job than most because "where else can you get a free workout and a tan?" I had to bite my lip to prevent myself from bursting into a laughing fit, and he was dead serious! The owner also thinks he knows what customers want. I checked business reviews on google and they are mostly negative lol.

Also, be aware and alert for companies that offer a “sign on bonus”. They are huge red flags. Those companies do not give all of the money upfront, they split the entire bonus in obnoxious installments over a huge length of time to insure that you “keep working”. Therefore, it’s not a bonus at all, but an exaggerated “pay increase”.
@youflatscreentube
General rule: Never apply to a “professional” job posting that has more than one typo. Some of these sound a read like an overseas scam designed to procure personal data from unsuspecting and desperate people.
@McClane4Ever.
I interviewed at a fairly big brand gym for a personal trainer position. I come highly qualified with over 10 years experience. They offerd me $12.50 per hour... I actually laughed at the interviewer and let them know how insulting that was and how displeased I was for them wasting my time. This stuff is everywhere.
@neutronjack7399
Musicians and artists have been complaining about this for years. People want to get free performances or art work from them, in exchange for "exposure". Exposure doesn't pay bills and has shown up on many death certificates.
@thomasmorrison3279
I one time interviewed for a legal internship. I had a bachelor's degree in Engineering and I was a second year law student already, and they asked me if I had an MBA. It was a low paid internship and they wanted a lawyer with an MBA and an Engineering degree.
@JMB129
I've been at the same job for 14 years with an Associate's degree and am not currently looking elsewhere, however I do look at what types of opportunities other companies are offering just to have an general idea. I'm amazed at the amount of hoops some of these companies want you to jump through JUST TO APPLY! I could read the instructions to put together a whole dresser and a bookshelf from IKEA and have it all done by the time I finish reading the job description. All I can do is laugh when I see places offering $15-$19 an hour and they're requiring a Bachelor's degree plus 5 years experience. That's just so adorable.
@DavidSmith-qn9hg
After two interviews with one company, they told me they will be setting up an additional 8 (eight) rounds. I declined to pursue the job. This is abusive behaviour and needs to stop. If a company cannot make their minds about a candidate after 3-4 interviews, they should outsource that work to someone who can do the job.
@futuristicperson3375
These type of companies are more interested in monitoring their employees rather than focusing on the business and improving their products and services
@saramoran3961
I’m a nurse and a hiring bonus can be a red flag to me. If there are several healthcare facilities in one area and only 1-2 are offering a hiring bonus; avoid that place like the plague!
@ralphwiggum3134
When I left my last IT job, I checked back on them and saw their job ad. They increased their requirements and I longer qualify for my old position. I held the place together (nearly single-handedly) for 7 years. The kicker: just before I left, we upgraded all the systems and the job got immensely easier than the bulk of the time when I worked there.
