LOL, I've noticed similar ads for CPAs/accountants, some with laundry lists exceeding a dozen requirements, with starting salaries nudging $20/hour.

I retired last December, and looked to make a few bucks during tax season. I attached a comprehensive cover letter to my resume, detailing the varied tax work I had done over the past 30 years. I got two responses, both said I was not a good fit for their firm.

SMDH.

I loved the "benefit" of a "positive office culture", which probably means "we suck less than the average office."

Right. People have seemed to completely divorce their work life from their personal life, and while I think there is a positive side of it, it seems completely sterile and unnatural.

It kind of reminds me of the way the Internet has pulled people apart from having personal relationships with each other.

I can’t put my finger on it. But I don’t like it. It kind of reminds me in a way of Orwell’s “1984” where people left work and immediately went back to their flat. To watch their Telescreen.
