A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Job is listed as remote

During interview they tell you they expect you to move to bumfuck north dakota within 6 months of starting

To be fair, that is remote.

Job is listed as remote.

During the interview they tell you it only requires 2 days a week in the office. You tell them you don't have a car... they reply there are trains from where you live to where the office is located... you look it up and they're right, it's just a 2 hour commute each way. You start to think "8 hours a week, is like 1.5 hours a day for 5 days, could be worse...". Then you realize their hiring process requires 3 more on-site interviews before even getting an offer.

Got this with Anchorage, Alaska. How did they expect they could hoodwink somebody up to Anchorage?!

Oh, our apologies, we're in AK, you must have assumed we were in one of the other 7 Anchorages in the lower 48:

Kentucky
Louisiana
Maryland
Mississippi
New Jersey
Texas
Utah

We've never had this happen before, how strange.
