Job opening

This ad is a joke (or pathetic). But it does raise a pet peeve I have. Ever sit in an interview and have some dickhead tell you he needs you to do "Far more than an associate at your level would be expected to do"? I've always wanted to snap back "Then why don't you hire a more experienced associate? If you were selling cars and I came in and said 'I want a shiny new Benz at a used Volvo price,' you'd think I was a fool, right? So why make the equivalent pitch here?"

These same twits are the ones who come into your office a month into the job and tell you some story about how "there are no free lunches..."

The only good thing about knowing these people is watching their personal lives explode every few years and realizing they'll probably die alone. Its like an epic about the operation of karma in modern professional life.
