Company: MegaCorp Logistics (Totally Not a Scam, LLC)

Location: An Abandoned Warehouse Near You

Salary: $9.75/hour (because $10 would be too generous)

Job Type: Full-Time, Part-Time, Overtime, Double-Time, All-The-Time

Job Description:

Are you a superhuman capable of lifting 500 lbs with one hand while balancing a stack of fragile glassware on your head? Do you enjoy working 27-hour shifts with no breaks, no benefits, and no appreciation? Do you thrive in a toxic work environment where everything is "urgent" but nothing makes sense? Then congratulations, you're exactly who we're looking for!

As a Warehouse Worker at MegaCorp Logistics, you will be responsible for everything, and we mean everything—including tasks that have nothing to do with warehousing.

Responsibilities:

*Lift 1000+ lbs daily (yes, really) with no equipment, because forklifts are for the weak.

-Memorize a 27-page manual on company policies that change every two hours.

-Work under constant surveillance (we installed cameras in the bathroom too, just in case).

-Read the minds of managers who never communicate expectations but still blame you for everything.

-Deliver packages to customers using your own personal vehicle (we won’t reimburse gas).

-Survive in an unheated, uncooled warehouse where temperatures range from -30°F to 120°F.

-Volunteer to work unpaid overtime or be labeled "not a team player."

-Fill out 300 forms a day, most of which contradict each other.

-Train new employees who will quit after one day but somehow still be your responsibility.

-Avoid the attack pigeons that have made the warehouse their home (we consider them part of the security team).

-Bring your own toilet paper, because we ran out in 2016 and never restocked.

Requirements:

-Must be able to run a marathon while carrying a fridge on your back.

-A PhD in Rocket Science (not required, but we’ll pay you like you didn’t have one anyway).

-At least 15 years of warehouse experience (even if you’re only 20 years old).

-Must have eyes in the back of your head to avoid incoming forklift collisions.

-Willing to work 7 days a week, 25 hours a day (we invented an extra hour just for you).

-Ability to absorb blame for mistakes you didn’t make.

-Must be fluent in English, Spanish, Mandarin, French, Morse Code, and Dolphin Clicks.

-Strong work ethic but no expectations of being rewarded for it.

-Must provide your own uniform, safety gear, and emotional support system.

-CPR certification (for when your coworkers pass out from exhaustion).

-No unions, no complaints, no problem.

Benefits (LOL, Just Kidding!):

Exposure to free motivational posters in the breakroom.

One (1) pizza party per year (one slice per employee).

Endless unpaid experience that will "look great on your resume."

A strict "no fun" policy to ensure maximum efficiency.

A manager who disappears whenever work actually needs to be done.

Paychecks that may or may not clear depending on "company performance."

To Apply: Don't bother sending a resume; we won’t read it. Just show up and start working. If you survive the first week, you’re hired.

Sebastián Ramírez @tiangolo I saw a job post the other day. 👔

It required 4+ years of experience in FastAPI. 🤦

I couldn't apply as I only have 1.5+ years of experience since I created that thing. 😅

Maybe it's time to re-evaluate that "years of experience = skill level"

Requirements:

Location: On-site only – remote work is for lazy people. Must be willing to relocate at your own expense and sign a 2-year loyalty contract. Salary: $12.50/hr (negotiable, but only downward). No overtime pay, but we “appreciate your hard work.” Hours: Full-time (which means 70+ hours per week, including weekends, holidays, and any time the CEO has a “data emergency” at 3 AM).

About Us:

We are a fast-growing, innovative company that believes in hustle, grind, and never questioning management. We make data-driven decisions, unless the data contradicts the CEO’s gut feeling, in which case the data is wrong.

We’re looking for a self-motivated, highly adaptable Data Analyst who can handle data processing, business strategy, occasional IT support, customer service overflow, and probably HR paperwork. If you enjoy unreasonable deadlines, frequent “urgent” last-minute requests, and doing the work of three people for the salary of half a person, this is the perfect job for you!

Key Responsibilities:

Collect and analyze millions of rows of messy, outdated, and contradictory data from multiple unconnected systems.

Create dashboards that will be ignored for months until suddenly needed within an hour.

Answer urgent leadership questions like, “Can you pull every customer’s lifetime spending since 1983?” with zero notice.

Provide instant insights in meetings even though we never let you see the data beforehand.

Develop AI and machine learning models even though we have no budget, no infrastructure, and no idea what that means.

Conduct A/B testing, but make sure the “B” option never wins because leadership already decided what they want.

Train technically illiterate employees on how to “use data,” which means helping them find the ‘SUM’ function in Excel.

Take the blame when an executive misinterprets a chart and makes a bad decision.

Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in Data Science, Business Analytics, Statistics, or a field we don’t care about as long as you’ll accept low pay.

10+ years of experience in a role requiring 1-2 years of experience.

Expertise in SQL, Python, R, Tableau, Power BI, Excel, Google Sheets, PowerPoint, Jedi mind tricks, and telepathy.

Must be able to predict what executives want before they ask, but also be wrong when they change their minds.

Strong communication skills to explain advanced analytics to leadership that thinks ‘percentages’ are too complicated.

Ability to work under constantly shifting priorities, unrealistic deadlines, and vague, contradictory instructions.

Must be willing to work evenings, weekends, and holidays, but still be “grateful for the opportunity.”

What We Offer:

$12.50/hr, which is above minimum wage! (In 2005.)

Exposure to leadership! (Because you will be blamed for their bad decisions.)

A “fast-paced environment” (meaning constant chaos and poor planning).

“Fun” company culture! (Where burnout is called “passion” and working late is called “commitment.”)

Unlimited PTO! (But you must get approval 6 months in advance, and it will always be denied.)

An “amazing” team! (That has a 50% turnover rate and is hiring because the last analyst quit unexpectedly.)

Free coffee! (But only for managers.)

How to Apply:

Submit your resume.

Complete three rounds of interviews, a four-hour skills assessment, and an unpaid “trial project.”

Expect zero updates for weeks until we email you with a lowball offer and a 24-hour deadline to accept.

We look forward to exploiting your passion for data!
