Director of Support
Not provide fast responses and resolutions or excellent customer service, but fast TIMES and SCORES. Goddamn.
Don't say I didn't warn you.

Ladies, Gentlemen, Undecided, and Robots, it's the Incredible... Shrinking... Compensation Package! So great that you can't see it! Incredible because it's beyond imagining! Embark with Apollo.io on a fascinating adventure into the unknown!
You should do a general internet search for Therapy Brands. The results are...not good, particularly in light of the fuss they make about how awesome they are on their Careers page.
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 don't think they really know why they're hiring a Director of Support, which will likely make actually working in this role unpleasant, to say the least.
I don't even know what this is supposed to mean, but you should NEVER EVER take on risk on behalf of the company employing you unless you're, like, a firefighter or something. Which this is very much not.
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.
Still as obnoxious as the other two listings on the job board.
Let's review: this is a lead role for managing multi-channel support agents, offering frontline support yourself, and executing duties that should be undertaken by a possibly fictional Director. For $20-$25 in Oakland, CA. Talk about some branding!
How good are you at plastering on a smile while a middle-aged white dude is screaming at you?
I mean, I certainly dreamt of going to school for 4-6 years and earning a technical degree and THEN WORKING FOR ANOTHER 4+ YEARS to make $25 an hour for a company that won't even deign to give me a title that reflects the level of work I'm doing. WHERE DO I SIGN UP.
See Finout's Senior Technical Support Engineer role for red flags so red they're bleeding into this job description, too.
This company and job has the dubious honor of spawning not one, but TWO new BJB entries. I bet you can guess which ones.
I am reading these job duties, and y'all, "you will sit at the intersection of product, marketing and customer support," my ass. This role is three whole jobs. Does no one else work at this company?
This, and the whole introductory paragraph, has some of the most flowery language to describe a middle manager role that I have ever read.
THIS IS NOT SUPPORT ENGINEER WORK. Is something in the water? Is Venus in retrograde? Am I in the Upside Down? WHAT IS HAPPENING.
Genuinely, y'all, I don't think they know what Support is. I'm not being funny. I think someone is very confused. Or I am very confused. One of us is very confused.
Holy shit, SO MANY RED FLAGS, SO FAST. This is the most unhinged job description I've ever reviewed.
And there it is, folks, our first Seriously, Maybe Don't of the week! Imagine being an education company that thinks education isn't political. IMAGINE.
My new tagline is going to be - Bad Job Bingo: I read shitty Careers pages you don't have to.
Now I'm drinking because it feels like I'm having a wake for whomever they convince to take this job.
Uh. Buckle in, my friends, because this one is A RIDE.
My friends. As a CX leader, I advise you to think very carefully before working in Trust & Safety for a company that routinely launches products before they've fully considered the risks and tactical challenges involved with said products.
