Employee gets shocked when he finds his job is listed on a job site as ‘entry level’: ‘Same job description but salary is….’

An employee got the shock of his life when he found his position was listed as an entry level job on a job site. Taking to the subreddit Anti Work, he revealed he had been doing this job since March 2023. His title is coordinator.

“The posting that went up last Tuesday uses the same bullet points from my original job description, almost word for word, and lists the salary range as 12% higher than what I currently make…” he wrote.

He only found, as a friend from another department sent it to him as a joke.


When he confronted his manager, she told him the new hire was being inducted to expand the team. When he said that he was having many of the same responsibilities, he was told the other person had a “different scope.”

“I've been here two years. I trained the last two people who quit. I know where every file lives, I know which clients need extra handling, I know that the espresso machine in the kitchen breaks if you run it twice in under four minutes. And apparently I am worth less to this company than someone they haven't hired yet who has none of that..” he wrote.

He ended the post by revealing he would be updating his resume and applying to other jobs. He also stated he would be using the job posting as a reference for the skill section

One comment read: “In your resignation letter, you can thank them for letting you know your market rate.”

Another urged him to resign as soon as possible. “Sounds like the typical manager gameplan: List your job,
Hire a replacement, Pay him better, Have you train him, Find in the end there isn't a need for two people in the position after all, And 'Let you go'. Get out as soon as you can.”
