Honestly, I find these emails more amusing than infuriating. Is that $800 per week? Total? I guess I’ll never know, because I didn’t become a software developer just to work in a warehouse.

it was $800/hr and you missed it, schmuck!
no honestly I can’t comprehend why people don’t include the important parts in the actual listing, it’s exhausting and pedantic.
I like to reply to these with tons of questions, no stone unturned. If they give a reasonable answer is likely legit. I get a bunch of these because of a resume that had all my warehouse experience on it, big mistake since I don’t know who has it.
Honestly looks like a scam email because it’s as little detail as possible. Did you check the email? Bet it’s going to be a bunch of numbers “@gmail”
Fuckingcapitalists
Oh, I thought this was a “data warehouse” kinda joke?
does your resume include a sokoban clone?
Is it a remote position? I’d consider working in a warehouse if I didn’t have to leave my home.
With something like a VR and HOTAS setup
Preferably some interface I could automate with a small shell-script 😀
Famous last words of a software engineer who ends up working in a warehouse.
So you think you’re too good to eat shit? Wait until you have to like I do.
Bro, maybe I don’t think you should have to eat shit either.
It was a topical joke revolving around the numerous rounds of tech layoffs since 2023, as well as the current state of industry hiring, which is pretty depressing and toxic if you’re a software engineer currently looking for work.
Statistically you’re far more likely to get laid off then he is.
Not this year lol, tech has been hit hard.
Which, I mean, no one has any sympathy, those guys have been coddled and overpaid for a decade.
But yeah, this year, lots of tech layoffs.
I’m a software engineer who was recently laid off.
Oh I see. Well your anecdote completely debunks statistics that show people without degrees get laid off nearly three times as often as those that do. I kneel.
I’d do it for $800/h
I’ll do it for 800 a day…
Nah, it’s just a one-time wage, then you’re a slave
I’d sooner go full-time on my game dev hobby and hope for the best.
You could probably make $800 doing game dev too. Maybe not with only one game, but $800 with game dev hobby sounds better to me than $800 to be a warehouse associate for an unknown amount of time…
The $800 is to be a game dev for their new release: warehouse associate.
Chase your dreams. The warehouse will always be there.
Famous last words from someone before the warehouse isn’t there

I’ve got these emails before, almost exactly like this. I have a PhD, but sure, I guess I’m qualified for this too.
These emails never match the resume. I work at a warehouse and like the job, but I definitely wouldn’t trust some random person spamming me. When I was looking for a job, some guy was trying to get me to take this really sketchy job selling phones. Thanks but no thanks.
Be mindful it also could be malicious
Matches programming and game dev experience lmao we’re livin’ almost the same life on that aspect dude lol
Imagine turning down $800 an hour because you don’t want to work in a warehouse /s
My favorite version of this was an ad for applebees that said “you belong here!”. Like, I know that they meant it to be welcoming, but it came across as vaguely threatening …
I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn’t it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe.

One of my favourite quotes from the show.
Glad I’m not the only one that remembers it.It’s easily one of my favorite TV shows of all time.
Though the line that’s. Even rolling through my head since Gaza started is Delenn getting pissed at Lando and G’kar, shouting “When does it end?!” That rant is…. Piercing.
