My favorite quote from a business was a guy that wanted to post “up to $17 per hour” on a job listing.

When i said that the minimum was $17 he said, “well we’re going to pay $15 for the first 12 to 15 months, and if the employee does well will bump that up to $17 afterwards”

I responded with “so your paying minimum wage and its going to take at least a year before you can even earn what you initially claim when you offer the job…”

He didn’t reply to the email after that.

What i hate the most is that these are the employers that trap those that really need a job and the money by misleading people in their advertisements.

Geico, you can save up to 15 percent or more on your car insurance!

So in other words it could be anything, you just said a random number that has zero commitment behind it
