Job Description and Real Meaning
I came across a job definition today in my LinkedIn job feed. This is kind of a startup job, but the descriptions appear to be very thinly veiled from their real intentions. The lines with * are my interpretations.
- Those who use the word "impossible" are asked not to disturb those who try
* you will be asked to do the impossible and crazy stuff, but don't complain
- We don’t reinvent the wheel, others have already done it before us, so we reuse as much as possible
* you should copy code from random github repos and complete work in 5 mins
- Work smart, not hard
* if you work overtime, its your fault. don't expect compensation
- Work should always be engaging
* you should immerse yourself full time in work
- We hate silos and break them with full transparency and communication
* no clear role boundary. you need to do everything
- We are not building tools but solutions
* you are responsible for overall project or solution, thugh its not your role
- We continuously improve by removing waste
* you can be fired any time
- We put our users first and generate value for them before all
* you won't be paid until our users are happy and pay us
- We anticipate change and are adaptive
* We don't know what we are doing, but don't complain
- We focus on attention to detail and precision in everything we do
* You don't have scope for mistakes and corrections I think your interpretations are cynical, and therefore correct ;) If this is a startup, their level of arrogance promises quick failure. Unlikely to be a profitable or pleasant job.
