The Great Resignation rages on, as workers quit jobs left and right that mistreat and undercut them, as well as refuse to apply to jobs that don't pay a living wage.
Which businesses are adjusting their practices and which businesses are going to be left behind in the dust are getting clearer and clearer.
For example, this business in Los Angeles, California, which decided its best filter was to be very overly specific about who they were looking for—to their detriment.
from LosAngeles
Kreation organic juice bar in Los Angeles is now facing backlash for its storefront sign that specifies, among other things, hiring a worker who "doesn't cry."
As all human beings cry at some point in their lives, this is relatively impossible—but also a harbinger of doom for anybody looking to work in the store.
"This 100% means they have made someone cry at work before," observed one shrewd Redditor.

If Spongebob didn’t cry at the drop of a dime he would be the only person that fits this criteria https://t.co/IHMvAE9GOi

Literally walked away from my favorite breakfast spot and will never return after seeing a note remarkably similar to this on the front door, basically blaming the former/current staff for their decline in business. The lack of self awareness of some business owners is shocking.

Some patrons familiar with the juice bar were struck by the sheer audacity of the sign.
"F**k Kreation," wrote one angry Redditor.
"Their smoothies cost enough they better be paying their employees for dealing with all the Krystal Karens that go there."

I appreciate this in the same way I appreciate how poisonous frogs have extremely vivid color patterns to warn predators not to eat them https://t.co/XJKthimis0

I like how businesses (fake ones, not me) put these up as a preview of what it's like to work with these assholes like thanks, I'll steer clear as both an employee and a customer. https://t.co/IqPu7cssZb

Kreation Organic Juice reportedly took the sign down as an answer to the backlash, but unfortunately for them things on the internet last forever.
"I knew the founder of Kreation and highly advise everyone to stay away," said one savvy Redditor.
might as well just print 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩 on the notice instead, does the same job https://t.co/qN6zebN1OS

Sign that immediately lets you know the boss\owner is an absolute asshole to their staff. https://t.co/v4gm1VX8iq

Wow. This flyer is amazingly good at communicating what a nightmare it is to work for @KreationJuice and makes me never ever want to patronize this business.https://t.co/IJle85oajx

They don't want a person. My schedule isn't open & I don't smile much. I'm convinced no one is "the one for them". https://t.co/eMbOT7ljOu

Despite taking down the sign, Kreation has made no comment on its choice of words in its search for employees.
But thanks to the power of the internet, it seems like people will think twice now before applying to the company.
