The sad thing is that this is a legit company and job spec. I'm depressed after reading this!

Some of the highlights:

- To be at the office no later than 7.45am
- Work evenings and weekends if deadlines are missed. Clients cannot be let down
- Ensuring no cups, cutlery or plates are left in the office unwashed or in the kitchen
- Apply Somewhere Else If You Are, Difficult to work with, Annoying, Leave early, Messy etc...

Base salary: £25,000

That is the weirdest job spec I have ever seen. It reads like its written by someone with a personality disorder. You'd have to be a bit mental to work there.

Is it even legal to specify that the candidate must be someone who "keeps themselves fit and healthy"?!

So you want someone with 10 years + experience and STILL care what their school qualifications are??

- Ensuring no cups, cutlery or plates are left in the office unwashed or in the kitchen

Is that just your stuff or for the whole company?

Isn't it weird that regular showering is not in the jobs specs?

Oh wow... what a special site.. Web Design Company in Colchester of Essex - Universal Web Design


I particularly like how the text overruns into the black background while reading about "13 year old Danny" (and how the page fails to fully re-render after a window size change) Founder - Universal Web Design

Apply Somewhere Else If You Are

Lazy
Negative
Hard to manage
Difficult to work with
Annoying
Lack drive or ambition
Late
Leave early
A clock watcher
Constantly checking your mobile
Doing things you should not be doing during working hours
Messy
Scruffy
Poor office etiquette

Sounds like PC's CV that.

Am sure there has to be something discriminatory there we can sue them for...

Sounds like it's been worded by some agile, out there thinking millenial to me. Trying to break the mould and do something differently.. and failing.

Tag it as a bunch of idiots and move on.
