Odd job qualification

Techytach

While applying for jobs today I came across this quote. What do you suppose someone meant by this?

[FONT=&amp]Dynamic "young" group with national qualifications. [...] If you are sensitive, don't apply.[/FONT]

Now I want to apply just to see what they're like. Racist jokes? They hate old people? What? : It was so odd I had to share.

Sensitive to what? Sounds like a weird group of people.

Sounds to me like "We are stocked full of hipster assholes that like to be assholes to each other", so if you aren't an *******, don't apply.

Sounds like a company waiting to be sued for employment violations.

clarson

yes they are looking to discriminate against older people.

and they probably do plenty to screw their younger people that they won't learn about till later due to their inexperience in the work place.

Exactly my thoughts. They're trying to hire people that won't report inappropriate comments to HR, and/or sue.

I went to take a look at the ad.

It seems like they are trying to avoid saying that they are a startup (young) where they expect you to work 60 hours per week and get paid for 30.

And, you shouldn't be sensitive. Like have family, friends, or a life that will keep you from getting unpaid experience on the weekends and evenings.

and you shouldn't have hard feelings when you get burned out and they replace you with someone that isn't

I'm not gonna be sensitive in saying what I think about them: They're a try hard nerds trying to look cool. /

I wouldn't apply

I would apply. Looks like they love some tough jokes and don't want someone with political correctness and SJW style of communication to destroy it.

This is how I took it, as well

scaredoftests

I'd apply, I have been asked some pretty odd stuff during interviews anyway. LOL

Sounds like a work hard, party even harder kind of workplace. Generation Y (pronounced 'whyne') is stereotyped into worrying to much about having there feeling coddled, participation awards, trophies and self serving 'safe spaces'. This doesn't sound like a place for Gen Whyne is all.

Could be a really fun place to work if it becomes otherwise successful but I wouldn't expect HR to be the organization nanny either.

Abandon all hope ye who enter here... and all that.

Mwahahaha..!

It reads like they need a drummer for a band.

Yes, it is odd. I suspect that it is being run by young startup people who haven't figured out yet that industry is actually regulated and you can get in serious trouble for some things.

The enthusiasm is nice, but really, you do need fire escapes, and if you work people 100 hours a week, they do break and don't tend to work that well. Also, giving your whole team LSD to encourage creativity and innovation doesn't always work out how you hope.
