I don't give a shit about the broadness. I'll do whatever they want for my salary . 100k though is 50k short of I'm being generous.
That shit would be 45-60k here and it infuriates me.
As a system administrator, I've done all of these to some extent. But at that pay range, it better be part-time.
I saw similar when looking for work as a graphic designer, with duties that can be summarised as "design our printed materials, build our website (with JavaScript knowledge required), and also plan our marketing strategy".
Then when I mentioned this in a Clients from Hell comment section, I got someone defend the practice with that small companies can't afford to hire separate people for the 3 separate skillsets...
I really thought the response was an AI suggestion at first glance; that would’ve been hilarious.
I usually reply to shit job offers and tell them why it’s shit.
Even when I’m not interested in the job, if it’s anything but full time work from home I’ll let them know I’m only considering ft wfh so that they either raise their offer or reconsider their in-office requirement for the next person that’s actually interested.
