Math majors need not apply
It was a sales position at an air filter company. He liked me enough to start talking salary, but that’s when it took a bad turn.
Basically, I could make UP TO a certain amount, but really realistically I’d be making less than minimum wage.
He kind of got red-faced when I kept saying, “But wait, this means I’ll be making like $5 and hour. I must not be understanding this right because you advertised this position as $40,000 year.
Can you explain?”
The employer would rope people in with bad math and false promises and got people to agree to work under false pretenses. They’d quit and the cycle began again.
Once this became clear, I politely declined and left.
