I hate the ones that are listed as remote, but when you read deeper it says remote - in x location, if there was a way to filter those out of searches, it would be convenient.

why does everyone have to have "excellent" skills? just logically not everyone can have excellent skills, or there wouldn't be excellent skills. i very much doubt everyone currently working there also has equally "excellent" skills. you can't just say you have to be perfect. i fucking hate this shit

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 months ago (1 children)

In fairness to requiring "excellence", I'd imagine most professionals have excellent skills in their field compared to the average person.

It’s just marketing.

It’s like how a 7 or 8 out of 10 movie should mean it’s really great, but actually means it was just “ok”.

We like the idea that we are getting something above average, which ends up with a skewed idea of what average is.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's not even that. If they ask for average they get trash. If they ask for excellent then trash doesn't apply and they get average

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Or the trash with excellent ability to lie their ass off applies.

WTF are demonstrable analytical skills?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The ability to call out BS or contradictory requirements in a job posting.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

You're hired!

[–] [email protected] 31 points 6 months ago (1 children)

My favorite is the remote - location jobs. Almost none of them are actually remote, they just want more people to apply so their quota will be met.

.... Is it possible the office is in Southeast London but the actual work is North and West?

[–] [email protected] 107 points 6 months ago

This is how field service jobs are written in my experience, yes.

[–] [email protected] 88 points 6 months ago (5 children)

Unrelated but this is literally the first time in my life I've seen an actual 9-5 job, I only ever see 8-5 or 9-6

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago (2 children)

That seems like a US thing? All Nordic Europe countries 8-16 is the US version of 9-5. 8-17 (9-6) would be a 4 days a week job hitting the normal 37 hour work week.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Not all Nordic countries. The main standard work weeks in Sweden are 40 hours for office work employees. Our collective union agreements for most office work places I know of agree on at least half hour unpaid lunch and at least two 15 minute paid breaks each work day. Every place I worked for had flexible hours, which meant I could choose between turning up between 7 or 9, as long as I didn’t miss meetings and worked 40 hours a week at an average, based on monthly calculations. And any overtime was compensated with double time off and/or monetary overtime compensation.

This will of course be different for shift work or nurse/doctor positions. But I’ve never worked an 8-16 job.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

8-16 each day is 40 hours not counting the breaks. (Counting them would make it 37)

So do Swedish people work from 8-16, 9-5 or do office workers work from 8-17, 9-6 everyday (inkluding Friday)?

I have family in Malmö and that is not the case for them. Can't speak in the standard for Sweden but I worked closely with Norwegians and they had the same 8-16 (8-15 Friday) in Oslo as we did in in Denmark(KBH).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Well, the standard recommended work hours would be 08-17 (8 AM to 5 PM), with one hour unpaid lunch, so 8 hours paid. And you can take those paid breaks, or even combine them with lunch. Most places (that don’t have shifts, scheduled appointments or aren’t school or health care related) allow for this kind of flexibility.

My current work place has 39 hours a week during the half year during or close to winter and around 37 hours during the summer or the months adjoining summer. Then again, most people tend to flex actual hours worked, e.g. working 4 hours on Monday and Friday, and working more hours during the same week or compensating for it later. But you HAVE to take at least 30 minutes of lunch, and the workplace tries to enforce the paid breaks as well. So some, like me, take an hour off for lunch, but use our half hour unpaid lunch and add on breaks 2x15 with pay (which is billed to our clients, as we’re legally entitled to). So I can show up anywhere between 06:30 and 11:00 (as long as I don’t have deadlines or meetings) and decide how I want to dispose the hours of my time on schedule.

And I get 7 weeks off, paid, every year. And pad it out with overtime so that I work maybe a week of overtime and get two weeks extra off for holidays.

That extra hour of wage theft is why it's the most prevalent kind of theft.
