The surreal job offer that outrages social networks: "The only thing missing is the shackles"

Sometimes, working conditions in the hospitality industry leave a lot to be desired. The demands are such that some end up rejecting job offers, because the hours are endless and the salaries are very low. And more and more people are not willing to work under these conditions, especially young people.

That is the complaint of a young man, collected by the X account (formerly Twitter) Soy Camarero, a space where Jesús Soriano disseminates the unworthy situations of colleagues in the hospitality sector.

It all started with a conversation through WhatsApp. The interested party asked him about the conditions of the job offer that he had published. As you read, for the Fallas of Valencia. The businessman first asked him about his age, although he did not explain the reason very well. In his case, 27 years.

Then, they begin to talk about the working conditions of the offer. This man explains that work is from Monday to Saturday, so he would only have one day off.

But the interested party's indignation comes when he begins to talk to him about the daily hours. The shift is from seven in the morning to seven in the afternoon, although he "can rest for two hours at noon." For all this, he pays seven hundred euros and also registers him with social security.

The answer couldn't be clearer: "Are you hesitating?" Like this worker, other social media users did not show their anger with this job offer. "With that conversation, I would go to the labor inspection," says one. "The only thing left to say is that the shackles are deducted pro rata from the payroll," adds another.
