A recent Reddit post is striking a nerve with frustrated job seekers across the U.S. after a person shared how an employer laughed at her for asking for $17 an hour—and then offered her $9 instead
For reference I have a Bachelor's degree!!! "I was thinking more like $9" like what do you mean I have been job searching for so long I'm about to give up and flee the country I hate it here.
[UPDATE] To answer some questions:
My Bachelor's is in a creative field, so I guess the starving trope is real
The job was unrelated to my degree (I've been a bit desperate for income) but I still have years of experience in the job I applied to
I live in a major city
Didn't mean to ragebait, I was just mad and venting
Hiring manager was a boomer
