Scribd is being transparent about not being a customer-first organization in which every team contributes to customer happiness. It's saying the company doesn't want to deal with customers, and you're constantly going to be nagging them for the smallest scraps to improve the customer experience.
My opinions about the gig economy aside (which are mixed—I see the benefits and the considerable downsides), DoorDash's Careers page hero is very, very red and legit hurts my eyes.
This role is very similar to the other Product Support Specialist role, and so I have the same questions about leveling. But again, everything else is good, and the pay range makes sense for what seems to be a slightly more senior role.
Really puts that DEI statement into perspective, though. "We encourage underrepresented minorities to be underpaid in this role, which will affect their future compensation for years, if not forever."
"High stakes" in a job like this means the product doesn't work, or only works enough to be dangerous. You're there as a human shield between the customer and the product, and I promise it isn't even as fun as it sounds.
Well, this took a turn. Between this casual ableism, the lack of salary transparency despite competitive claims, and their ask for compensation expectations on the application, the JD practically puts itself in Tread Carefully.
Not much to say about this one except that I'm irritated this leadership role is salaried and more adequately compensated while the frontline roles are not. That's some bullshit, Ramp.
It is galling – to say the least – to see Siena hiring human support for their product when they're happy enough for it to fuel an exaggerated AI craze that's led to a CX employment crisis everywhere else. The words irony and hypocrisy come to mind.
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 roles at this company. And while there is salary transparency here (likely due to state laws requiring it, which is also a culture signal), the application asks for your target comp range, so into Tread Carefully it goes.
I think Snap might be the first company since I've started doing Bad Job Bingo to actually mention anything about wellness for Trust & Safety team members, so it has that going for it. Unfortunately, it also has enough flags that it hits BINGO.
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).
They mention that this role has global responsibilities a few times, and as much as I appreciate the close relationship with Support, considering the scale of the work, I think this should really be a VP-level title.
Can we not? Can we just not require a T&S professional to have a "fun" attitude, especially when you haven't given any space to explaining how you'll care for their mental well-being? Ugh. Honestly, that pisses me off enough to put this into Tread Carefully.
