This week was very busy for me, so we have a light issue.

Now, normally, I rate about 15-20 jobs per issue, which means I have a more or less normal distribution of jobs and ratings to offer you.

This week, however, the distribution of jobs doesn’t resemble a bell curve so much as a very stark, very sheer cliff face.

And as we’re already operating in statistics, you should know that this issue involves our highest ratio of expletive-to-jobs that I think we’ve ever had, at 16:7.

Uh. Enjoy?

Get Hired

I play Bad Job Bingo with every job listing that appears in the Roundup and categorize them according to how well (or poorly, if I hit Bingo) they do in the game.

However, please remember that a job appearing in a positive category isn’t an endorsement of any role or company, and a job appearing in a negative category doesn't mean I think you shouldn't apply if it works for you. Bad Job Bingo is simply an effort to give you a shortcut to finding roles that may match your needs and values.

These and past contestants can be found at Support Human Jobs.

By The Audience

We have a new section this week! I had a hard time rating the job below, so I thought I’d leave it up to my subscribers to rate it this time. I’ll let voting continue for 72 hours, then set the job’s rating based on whichever gets the highest vote. If there’s a tie, I’ll choose the rating based on my best judgment as Supreme Bad Job Bingo Dictator.

If y’all dig it, maybe I’ll have y’all rate one job a week.

Eh, It’s Probably Fine

A few flags popped up, but no serious ones.

Didn’t quite hit bingo, but there were several yellow flags or more than one red flag.
