They have to know how ridiculous that request is. Fuck asking someone to work 75 hours a week at all is already ridiculous. And it sure was shit eliminates the possibility that this person could have another job to take care of themselves, which they'd need as your offered pay barely covers a tank of gas these days, let alone food, rent and basic utilities. Oh, and they think someone can work 13 hours a day watching their 4 your children and still go to school? Take this person's kids away; they've clearly been doing way too much crack.

Or it was fake to begin with? I first saw this years ago. And this is the Internet.

No, I believe it was Aristotle that said, "This generation no longer cares for the wisdom and advice of their elders! They instead seek opinions from their social networks! Now excuse me while I listen to his wise old angry person who agrees with me..."

They're taking the piss and everyone in this thread is buying it except us. 😆

[-] [email protected] 81 points 9 months ago

6am to 7pm. Somebody doesn't even like their kids and doesn't want anything to do with them.

[-] [email protected] 48 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

prefer u are in or went to college.

When exactly are you supposed to go there if you spend your whole day with this person's spoiled brats.

[-] [email protected] 36 points 9 months ago

collage

Need to have been in art projects

[-] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

This is very obviously not real.

[-] [email protected] 76 points 9 months ago

"No one wants to work anymore!"

[-] [email protected] 21 points 9 months ago

it's just because they're conservative obviously, all part of the liberal agenda to discriminate against conservatives.

[-] [email protected] 63 points 9 months ago

Correction: collage degree. They literally can't even spell "college". Thank god they're smart enough to know they shouldn't be raising their kids, too bad they're too cheap or broke to afford the help they clearly need.

[-] [email protected] 36 points 9 months ago

Even if this post was made the day Facebook was founded, that pay is atrocious. And it’s for a collage student!

How are they supposed to finish their beautiful collage with a bunch of kids everywhere!?

[-] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

That's why the pay is ~~$0.86~~ $1.15/hr. They deduct for child labor assistance with the collages.

Edit: my maths suck lol

[-] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

$1.15/hr, but that's not really any better.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

Oh right, I flipped the numbers lol

[-] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

No worries! I do stuff like that all the time, hah.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

.866/hour, or .2166 per child per hour.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

So the minimum wage from 1961.

[-] [email protected] 35 points 9 months ago

All the extra money probably went into the drug tests and criminal background checks.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

Probably paying extra for the platinum hair tests too lmao can't have that DevILs LeTtuCe.

Or better yet, probably not paying at all, the candidate has to pay out of pocket for all that for the interview lolol

[-] [email protected] 32 points 9 months ago

Why female only if they're all boys?

[-] [email protected] 87 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

"conservative only" = "raising kids is womens work."

[-] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago

Can't be sure, but when I was growing up in rural America the belief was that if a boy was watching kids (already 'women's' work) then there was a higher likelihood they'd be touched. If the kids were girls, even applying for the job would have gotten you some flack.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

Because only men can be pedophiles, of course.

[-] [email protected] 31 points 9 months ago

I can be in a collage if they want. Weird request

[-] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

For a $1 an hour I'm willing to let my hair down

[-] [email protected] 26 points 9 months ago

Ah, rage bait from the beforetimes.

[-] [email protected] 25 points 9 months ago

we're heavily christian

we're abusive

Well geez

[-] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago

Isn't this just satire (or maybe rage bait if taken seriously)?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

It probably was or some stupid story behind it like she was trying to argue that she can't find any sitter so therefore X.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 9 months ago

the only way this would happen is if you had the person's living arrangements/food covered, and the person is your mom.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago

I don't see why people are upset, if they are willing to pay $75/hour, they should get to set who they want to hire.

Wait? $75/week? That is what you would pay the 5 yr old in allowance in a couple years if they took on the job.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

$75 per week? Of course not, don't be ridiculous!

It's 75 cents per week.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

Best to just get a legit nursery if they want that qualification lol, their charge is also non-negotiable so it's like 95% of what the OP listed.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

Where I live that would be about $2,400 a week for daycare, or about $1,200 per week (minimum) for a live in nanny.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

A live in nanny is half the price of normal daycare AND I don't have to drop the kids off anywhere?? Lmao sign me TF up lolol

[-] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

The live in nanny would be half price?

[-] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

You'd also have to supply them their own room and food.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Daycare cost go up more per kid, nanny only goes up a couple dollars an hour per kid.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

You sure a nanny? Where I live, that could get an au pair (pre-COViD rates)

[-] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

Everyone talking about the low pay when I'm sitting here thinking "75 what? Diamonds?" If I get to pick what you give me 75 of then this might be worth it.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

You would make a great math teacher

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

It's 75 bananas. Which by my calculation is equivalent to $750

[-] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

you know they are not doing any background test

methany soon will hoodwink them

[-] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

If they are in one of the third world countries where the minimal daily wage like 1 USD/day, it is possible.
