This Company Is Paying Low Because They Are Looking For People Who "Want More Than Just Money" And This Woman's Viral Message About It Is SPOT ON
A woman named Maysun Valles recently went viral for her very relatable rant after experiencing a terrible job interview.
She shared the experience on TikTok, and her video has been viewed over 2 million times. In the video, she says, "Listen. I need these companies and these hiring managers to grow up and get a grip on reality. OK? I applied to a job where they didn't list the pay. That was MY fault. That was MY bad. I should know, red flag. And I can make a whole separate video about that — about how that should be illegal at this point. List the fucking pay... IT'S A JOB."
"Anyway, I go through the interview, yadda, yadda, yadda. I get to the end of the interview, and he tells me the pay. It's low. It's low. We know this; we shoulda known this. And so he asks me how I'm feeling, and I'm like, 'Frankly, the pay is low, and I can't work for that. I gotta be honest.' And I brought up that the pay wasn't listed on the job listing," she continues.
"He was like, 'Yeah, you know, here's the thing...there's a lot more here to gain than just money, and we are looking for people who are motivated by more than just money.' OK. This is what I mean when I say they need to grow up. I don't know what fantasy world you're living in where people are letting you pay them in gold star stickers or whatever the fuck, but I live in the real world where people need money to survive."
"I did not choose this. I don't want this. I don't fucking want this. I don't want to have to need money, but we both know what it is. We both know the world we live in. How the fuck are you going to make me seem like the bad guy for needing fucking money? Grow up; get a grip..." she concludes in her TikTok.
Bravo. Well said. Clearly, lots of people related...
