This Spammy Nonsense Helps Microsoft Paint Itself as "15-20 Hours a Week" Job (in Reality It's More Like 60 Hours a Week)
Microsoft staff that I spoke to complains of being overly used or overused or overworked - even to the point of staying at work until late at night or getting paid for 40 hours while in practice doing 60 or more. Employers are gleefully exploiting job insecurity at this time.
It seems like a familiar experience. The mainstream media tells people who work in "tech" that they're lucky to "still have a job", but working conditions - and duration in hours/days - worsened a lot. It's not what it was years ago. Many parents have no time to even see their kids.
I recently heard that an employer not far from us decided to demand that some supervisors work 12-hour shifts (i.e half a day in a row). The supervisors were extremely unhappy about this, but they probably felt like they had nowhere else to go and therefore had no choice on the matter. No negotiation/bargaining power/leverage.
I therefore must conclude that what MSN (Microsoft) published 2 hours ago is misleading marketing junk:
This was republished from an Indian press outlet that typically has its tongue stuck up Bill Gates' rectum.
Unusually, MSN (Microsoft) even spammed this more than a single time (with permutations for SEO):
So just repeat the exact opposite of what's typically true? To obscure the reality?
An anecdote (one person), even if based on a true story or real man, does not generalise to the whole. Might this be recruitment spam pinned by MSN at a time when Microsoft has SEVERAL MASS LAYOFFS IN A SINGLE MONTH?
How much of a "dream job" is this? No job is not a "dream job", it's just no job. █
