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.

does your resume include a sokoban clone?

Is it a remote position? I'd consider working in a warehouse if I didn't have to leave my home.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

With something like a VR and HOTAS setup

[–] nis@feddit.dk 2 points 58 minutes ago

Preferably some interface I could automate with a small shell-script 😀

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 14 points 6 hours ago

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

[–] Protoknuckles@lemmy.world 28 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

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 ...

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 18 points 6 hours ago

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.

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

[–] SeattleRain@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

So you think you're too good to eat shit? Wait until you have to like I do.

Bro, maybe I don't think you should have to eat shit either.

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

It was a topical joke revolving around the numerous rounds of tech layoffs since 2023, as well as the current state of industry hiring, which is pretty depressing and toxic if you're a software engineer currently looking for work.

[–] SeattleRain@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Statistically you're far more likely to get laid off then he is.

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

I'm a software engineer who was recently laid off.

[–] SeattleRain@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Oh I see. Well your anecdote completely debunks statistics that show people without degrees get laid off nearly three times as often as those that do. I kneel.

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 17 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Nah, it's just a one-time wage, then you're a slave

[–] ExtraMedicated@lemmy.world 24 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 44 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Chase your dreams. The warehouse will always be there.

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

[–] Archer@lemmy.world 1 points 37 minutes ago

The first Starlink-Amazon war destroyed many Amazon warehouses

[–] Coolcoder360@lemmy.world 5 points 7 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 7 hours ago

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

[–] BlueLineBae@midwest.social 25 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

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 13 points 6 hours ago

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

[–] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 9 points 6 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

[–] Worx@lemmynsfw.com 19 points 7 hours ago

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

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 27 points 7 hours ago

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

[–] krafty@feddit.online 7 points 6 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.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago
[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 hours ago

Be mindful it also could be malicious

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

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