Client Success Manager
This one is reader-submitted, and y'all. We're whipping out "unclear if you're joining a cult or a company" for maybe the first time ever, and I HAVEN'T EVEN LOOKED AT A JOB LISTING YET.

I'm pretty impressed with the job description overall. They manage to convey the qualities they're looking for without being unnecessarily prescriptive or ableist, they seem to understand well what they're looking for, and the stated goals are unusually grounded for a VP of Success position.
This role has the same weird (and ableist) culture signals as the other Manager roles. Also, there's no salary transparency and the application asks for your target comp range, so into Tread Carefully it goes.

I can tell you that I think they're asking too much from a Manager-level role, and I think the evolution in their Support approach is a bad signal for the function and the company's future. Tread Carefully.
This role seems like an interesting blend of Trust & Safety, Community, and Customer Support. Alas, there's no salary transparency, though, so into Tread Carefully it goes.
I am really struggling to understand this role at Match Group in comparison to the Trust & Safety Policy Manager role at Tinder (one of the dating apps in Match Group's portfolio).
I was still mostly on board until I saw the salary. They want a discount engineer. LOL K!
I continue to wish that Anthropic would address how they're mitigating the mental health risks of Trust & Safety work, and there are some minor flags ("fast-paced environment," hello darkness my old friend), but it's a solid Eh, It's Probably Fine.
Overall, I'm going to put this in Eh, It's Probably Fine, with a caveat that I really think anyone applying to this role ought to press hard on the "demonstrate grace under pressure" bit.
There certainly could be a language barrier here, but all of the Support role descriptions from this company are odd in the same ways.
Honestly, this job description is a mess. Repeated paragraphs and sections, overly business-speaky, and poorly edited and formatted.
Genuinely one of the most diverse companies I've seen so far. And the rare case where a company claims diversity as a value and is clearly backing that up with their hiring. Cool!

The role seems pretty straightforward, and the company's Carreers page is pretty standard corporate fare. The main thing putting this in Tread Carefully is the lack of salary transparency.
Hey, this is exciting! I don't know if Vetcove read this Bad Job Bingo critique, but they've updated the title of this position to Vet Clinic Implementation Manager.
Okay, for starters, none (save one) of the duties listed in this JD are Lead-level duties. They clearly want a discount Director/VP of Support. (And at $70k-$150k, we're talking a *real* discount.)
My first thought when looking at this company's Careers page was: "My god, they desperately need a middle-aged manager to decline their screentime requests an hour before bedtime."
This actually seems like a fairly well-scoped role, but the lack of salary transparency and culture issues that surfaced in the Head of Support role put this in Tread Carefully.
Boy this job opening sure sounds like Support! But nah, can't be, they have their AI for that!
If this is a global senior leadership position (as described in the JD), it really should be at the VP-level or higher. Otherwise, everything seems normal enough, although I'm not sure about the salary range – seems low for a position at this level that's also hybrid in New York.
THIS IS NOT SUPPORT ENGINEER WORK. Is something in the water? Is Venus in retrograde? Am I in the Upside Down? WHAT IS HAPPENING.
This really should be a more senior title – Head of, at least. But the salary, responsibilities, and requirements of the position seem otherwise appropriate for the title of manager, and the Careers page looks good.
Seems like an interesting, thoughtfully conceived role.
