my favorite is when Jobs require (at an entry level) experience in a program that only their company uses (as in the company made the program for themselves and doesn’t let others use it). or when they require experience in a version of a program that doesn’t exist at all.
– saw a job posting for an office admin position back in 2018 that required experience in Microsoft Windows 11. Windows 11 didn’t come out till October 5th 2021. I don’t see any keyboard where the “1” and the “0” are right next to each other.
And my personal favorite on job tech requirements was a job posting in 2023 for a medical receptionist position at a mom and pop type of dentist place. they required new employees to buy their own “company” phone (not allowed to use personal phones for any company related calls and required you to be able to take company calls after hours.). The requirements for the phone were weird to say the least… they required all phones to be black (why do you need a color req?) and required either have an iPhone 17 (iPhone 16 hadn’t even come out yet) or a Samsung Galaxy S24 – slightly better in the “it doesn’t exist” category as they were only one version off in their number range. but hey maybe they had fat fingers as “3” is next to “4” but there is no excuse for that iPhone failure. or maybe the Job poster was a time traveler who had his dates mixed up. 😂
but it’s not as bad as the job postings for part time job offers at big companies where they clearly copied and pasted the job descriptions from a template… as in it still had stuff like --insert company name and store location here-- and – insert full time benefits here–. 💀🪦 – looking at you Lowes and Sysco.
My favorite part of the series is James Holden’s response to being put in charge of everything at the end. the biggest “fuck you in particular” of the entire series.

nuked my reddit account by telling reddit moderators that eventually every last pedophile account holder on reddit would be held accountable for their actions. got permanently banned for “threatening to kill reddit moderators” with police action “promised”. way to admit that reddit mods are pedophiles.
