Honestly, I find these emails more amusing than infuriating. Is that $800 per week? Total? I guess I'll never know, because I didn't become a software developer just to work in a warehouse.

I've got these emails before, almost exactly like this. I have a PhD, but sure, I guess I'm qualified for this too.

My favorite version of this was an ad for applebees that said "you belong here!". Like, I know that they meant it to be welcoming, but it came across as vaguely threatening ...

I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe.

I don't know if these things are sent en masse by a bot or by a person, but it's like they don't even skim your profile before hitting send. Like I specifically said "Work from home only", what makes you think I want your "hybrid" opportunity in bumfuck Illinois that barely pays what it should for my experience?

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 11 points 4 hours ago

they're sent en masse, yes. To literally everyone.

[–] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago

This is someone using a tool/service to mass send emails, but never bothered to configure it.

Hey

We are reaching you regarding your . See job

Famous last words of a software engineer who ends up working in a warehouse.

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 13 points 3 hours ago

I'll do it for 800 a day...

[–] ExtraMedicated@lemmy.world 22 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

I'd sooner go full-time on my game dev hobby and hope for the best.

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 41 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Chase your dreams. The warehouse will always be there.

Famous last words from someone before the warehouse isn't there

[–] Coolcoder360@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

You could probably make $800 doing game dev too. Maybe not with only one game, but $800 with game dev hobby sounds better to me than $800 to be a warehouse associate for an unknown amount of time...

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

The $800 is to be a game dev for their new release: warehouse associate.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 27 points 5 hours ago

Wow, they'll pay you $800/time?

[–] Worx@lemmynsfw.com 17 points 5 hours ago

Imagine turning down $800 an hour because you don't want to work in a warehouse /s

[–] krafty@feddit.online 6 points 4 hours ago

These emails never match the resume. I work at a warehouse and like the job, but I definitely wouldn't trust some random person spamming me. When I was looking for a job, some guy was trying to get me to take this really sketchy job selling phones. Thanks but no thanks.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 hours ago

Be mindful it also could be malicious

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

Matches programming and game dev experience lmao we're livin' almost the same life on that aspect dude lol
