    Depressing - Check out this job spec (perm) for Web Developer

    Link: Web Developer - Colchester - Indeed.co.uk

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

    Some of the highlights:

    - We are actively looking for a top class web developer
    - A minimum of 10 years of web development experience
    - Expert Knowledge in WordPress, Magento, Drupal, Concrete5, Laravel, Joomla
    - General Qualifications Needed (B+) in English Language, English Literature, Mathematics, Science, IT
    - Monday to Friday = 8am to 6pm
    - 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?

            • English Language = B+

            • English Literature = B+

            ​This has to be a wind-up.

                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.
