Ever stumbled across a job ad that made you do a double-take and then laugh out loud because you weren’t sure if it was a joke? First, there’s the classic “we pay below minimum wage but expect you to have the skills of a Fortune 500 CEO.” Who wouldn’t want to sign up for that? Then there’s the “experience required” for an entry-level position that pays in exposure. Sure, I love exposure—I can totally use that to pay my rent and buy groceries, right?
And don’t get me started on the “flexible hours.” You know, those jobs where you can choose any 18 hours of the day you want to work? Super flexible, indeed. Oh, and the ones that offer “career growth opportunities,” which actually means you might get to manage their Instagram account if you hang in there for a decade. And the benefits? Don’t expect health insurance, but you might get a free coffee mug on your first day—if you’re lucky. These 24 job offers are so bad, you’d honestly just be better off staying in your pajamas at home.
