Reply to comment by addctd2badideas in Who's hiring? WE'RE HIRING. We need an Impoundment Services Supervisor. by BmoreCityDOT

They likely don’t want qualified or appropriate. They want “willing to ignore shady bullshit because they’re not paid enough to care”

I’ve been on the receiving end of a few contracts or subcontracts that were lowest bid rather than best value. You definitely get what you pay for. Hiring people from HUBZones for rock bottom prices to do technical work sounds like a great idea. Until they have to show up in NYC and there’s no travel budget. So you tell them they have to commute from WV… so they never show up. Fuck you Ron, you had the dumbest idea ever.

But the ad is cute though, and they did that whole "company using what it thinks snarky social media sounds like" thing 😮

Wonder if it's the same person from the health department who thought "edgy" is a thing citizens want from their municipal government.

I asked them this in a non-controversial post. They snarked at me. So I assume yes.

Clearly your handicapped mother, if you have a mother, never had the city steal her car which was legally parked in a handicapped spot in the train station.

Sorry you’re catching so much flak for doing your job. I’m sure there are people who appreciate your posts.

They're doing their job poorly, though. You can't go on a social media site, get called out for something and respond the way they have so far. I'm a 14 year comms professional and you either don't respond at all to these kinds of comments and just let it be (so it doesn't acquire more attention) or you formulate a measured response such as "This position's salary range is commensurate with the experience we are seeking within our budgetary requirements."

It's really that easy.

Thanks. 😕 They implied we don’t want good candidates. We do. We’re trying to do the best with what we’ve got. We don’t put up with shadiness in the department.

We’re hoping someone who would really like the job will apply.

In defense of them, they made the truck hauling away the person's car really cute. Maybe they can do a colorful graphic about the person trying to get $450 out of their bank to get their car back, or give some snarky suggestions for paycheck-to-paycheck people to tell their boss when they're getting fired for not being able to get their car back when an overzealous tow truck driver grabs it.
