Many employers prioritize the well-being of their employees, making sure their wages are livable and proportionate to their training and experience.
The poster of this job is not one of those employers.
It all started when Redditor yahyeetskrrt posted a picture of a job listing.
It's unclear what the position was for, but what is clear is that the job demanded a master's degree, yet only offers $15.24 for in compensation. In many states, that's barely over the minimum wage.
Two additional years of education and likely thousands of dollars in tuition?
Thanks, but we hate it too—and so did many other Redditors.
