Exploitation?

[keith smith]

About 5 years ago there was a company that was located in downtown Phoenix that was offering $10/hr for on-sight  sys admin work.  Maybe this is the same company.

Several observations.

1.At such a low rate they are going to get, for the most part, very inexperienced people.
2.Once they get experience they will move on.
3.Work from home requires better skills than working on-sight with others who can be a resource.
4.Work from home reduces facility and equipment costs.  Sounds like they have a small office with a conference room.  Or maybe a shared conference room.  Or maybe no office and a living room.
5. org, net, and com defined use and roles from 10 years ago are out the window.  Look at PHP.net for example. Very few follow those standards.

In a nutshell it looks like a start-up.

COMPANY is now hiring a Linux / Windows Systems Admin. This is a Jr. Admin role. We are looking for a energetic person who has a basic background in administration. This position is 90% remote but you must reside in the Phoenix area due to weekly meetings. Please see below for skill set. Please do not apply if you are a seasoned admin this is a Jr. positions. Pay rate is $10 - $12.50 an hour. 


Windows Administration - 1 to 3 years
Linux Administration - 1 to 3 years
Networking - 1 to 3 years
UNIX - is a plus
Programing - is a plus


    * Location: Phoenix Area
    * Compensation: $10 - $12.50 


CRITICAL THOUGHT:

1) How can you require all the same responsibilities in a so-called Junior Systems Admin of a regular admin as a rationalization to only pay them $12-15 an hour?
2) This company is clearly not a .ORG - seems they have mis-registered their domain name?

3) Don't even sec scan their website...

But hey, if you want to work from home, this might be a good gig, you can work 15 minutes on the hour!
