You should put in exactly £5 of work.

Open exactly one email. Don’t bother reading it; That would put you into overtime. But you can at least commit to opening the email and waiting for it to load before you clock out for the year.

The position is for a senior web engineer, so you either look at the company website and say "hmm" or you open a development app, write the HTML tag, maybe a head or css tag, then save the document.

I actually did the math on my current salary. So with converting it to USD and accounting for 2 weeks vacation and assuming I only work 40 hours a week. 5 pounds per hour is (approximately) one-tenth my hourly rate. So I would only be putting in 6 minutes of work for the entire length of the contract. Which, with my setup, amounts to sitting down, booting up, sipping coffee, and reading all of my slack notifications

Mind you I'm not a senior engineer and I'm also not paid in the top percentile

Your hourly rate is my daily rate 😭 gg man

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I calculated with my salary, and it takes me longer to get to my desk.

[-] Flumsy@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

It actually says 5 pounds PER YEAR on the application.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Saving is extra.

[-] doctorcrimson@lemmy.today 18 points 1 year ago

Honestly if you can fill out their online questionaire in 15min you've already exceeded that much work.

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.de 42 points 1 year ago

Don't spend it all on one thing :)

[-] Andrew15_5@mander.xyz 11 points 1 year ago

But what if all things cost £5?

[-] Lauchs@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year ago

Hey don't knock it, I'm pretty sure that's more than we pay Lemmy devs.

[-] agressivelyPassive@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago

Actually, no. Still too little, but they do get slightly more.

[-] buh@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago

nobody wants to work anymore

[-] supercriticalcheese@feddit.it 10 points 1 year ago

Hopefully they simply missplaced a zero.

[-] neoney@lemmy.neoney.dev 17 points 1 year ago

Or like, at least 4 zeroes

500,000 GBP for a software engineer in London, UK at a recruitment company is very optimistic!

50,000 is still good!

Doesn't sound good...

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Just a zero? 50£ a year, final offer.

Or I guess 05£ a year.

[-] XTornado@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Probably dumb like me and due the small amount somehow read it as hourly.

[-] miridius@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

£5/zero years. So £Infinity/year

[-] Flumsy@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago

50£ per year? Ill hire you lmao

[-] supercriticalcheese@feddit.it 2 points 1 year ago

£50/s there fixed that.

[-] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

"Put a one and two zeroes in front of that and you got yourself a deal!"

"How much did you get me?"

"One thousand pounds per year!"

[-] shiveyarbles@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

[-] strawberry@artemis.camp 4 points 1 year ago

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago
