The $36/Hour Problem

Let me rewrite:

The $36/Hour Problem

Category: Canada → Forums → Economy and Jobs → Employment → Labor Market

A Job That Pays Too Well

You see the posting: Restaurant Supervisor, $36/hour.

That's good money. Well above typical rates for the role. You're qualified. You've got experience. You apply.

You interview. It seems to go well. Then silence. You follow up. Nothing. You move on.

Months later, you notice the position filled. The new supervisor doesn't seem to be from around here.
