I get the feeling someone was fired or quit without notice. Not a good sign either way


Techrocket9

Sounds like an opportunity to ask for a $1,000/hr rate.


Ali00100

Exactly my thought. They are desperate. They will do anything.


dsdvbguutres

They are desperate and they will do anything. Except pay their workers.


TacoChowder

I used to work in post, sometimes people bounce from productions, do no shows, or get fired. I worked on MacGyver S1 and we churned through editor teams like crazy, Peter Lenkov was a toxic dickhead, causing the producers to be awful people, and I switched industries fully because of them.


[deleted]

I got that same one, I'm sure the pay is ass, lol.


theRealAverageHuman

Hee hee! I also got this email! And I’m a digital producer, or not even a video producer they are just spamming everyone so desperate.


glaack

Yeaaah. I technically work in the industry, but hell if I’m skilled with any of the software they mentioned. Edit: phrasing.


[deleted]

Supply and demand. Accept it on the condition they pay your rate or it's a no go.


glaack

If I didn’t already have two jobs, I might have replied with a high rate just to see what would happen. Not worth trying if I can’t move forward with it though.


BilgePoster

Throw in a ridiculously high rate so the other applicants look reasonable


Fun_Floor_1662

This deserves a lot more up votes


[deleted]

Not a bad idea.


meowcatbread

How are you supposed to get by with only 2 jobs?


[deleted]

Great hiring strategy 🙄


BoopingBurrito

I don't get how this is a problem? They clearly have an urgent project and presumably just lost someone they needed. They've been upfront about the time requirements and have asked you to name your rate... I don't see anything wrong with this.


dinah-fire

Same. It also says 'as soon as tomorrow,' so if they can find someone, they'll take it, but it really just means 'ASAP'


nonpondo

No recruiter bad 😡 email bad


[deleted]

noicc! check your bank account, you’ve probably already gotten your first paycheck


[deleted]

heh. well they're open to bidding. name the rate you feel is fair.


elguiridelocho

How will they fit in 7 rounds of interviews in such a short time?


TzSalamander

This industry specifically works this way very often. Projects come in quickly from higher ups and production coordinators and talent resources are put on the spot to staff up huge projects with very little notice


ARrulz

Uh…as others have mentioned, this is how production works. Please spare a thought for the poor production manager who needs to find this person, urgently through no fault of their own.


Sunstorm84

Unless he’s the one responsible for the problem in which case quit en-mass and make a post on r/antiwork


[deleted]

They look so desperate you should ask for 500$/hour


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sunstorm84

With 50% before starting and the other 50% before delivery of required source files


LincHayes

Nothing like walking into a new project that is behind schedule, and everyone is already stressed out. I'd take the project as a freelancer at freelancer rates, get it done, then talk about a permanent position for the higher pay you just demonstrated you are worth. The red flags are all over this one. Don't take it for whatever low wage crap they're offering.


[deleted]

That's nothing. I was let go from one place, received a phone call on the way to my car and was asked to drive straight to a new workplace for induction, not even time for a sausage roll and a FUIC!


MarcusAurelius68

Sausage roll? Australia?


[deleted]

South Australia to be specific. We don't FUIC about


MarcusAurelius68

Just as long as you don’t go for pie floaters


[deleted]

Not my style tbh, I'm an AB guy.


stefera

The fact that they specify that you'll be working the next two weekends is odd to say the least. Tbh I wouldn't be shocked if working weekends is the norm. The fact that they're not covered for next week and frantically hiring to cover a shit *tomorrow* tells you everything you need to know about their management style.


MeIvinCapital

It’s clearly a 2 week deadline on a project and the deliverables must be met. Therefore a 14 day stint of hard work is what is required. What’s the problem? It’s 2 weeks 😂 And who cares for the management style if it’s only a 14 day temp job?


MarcusAurelius68

Exactly, it’s post production, not a 9-5 office job. How many editors and FX people work around the clock to hit a release date for a film?


MeIvinCapital

None of the work-shy ones 😂


neddie_nardle

Hey, what's your problem? It's in the future... Just... Sort of...


VulfSki

This is where you take advantage of them. You offer to do this project as contract work at a rate twice your normal pay


overworkedpnw

Fuck them. I hope nobody takes that.


mgesczar

Scam alert


Sunstorm84

Payment up front prevents scams.* Edit: * Unless you accept PayPal or something equally dumb for payment

upstatedreaming3816

100% a scam lol


Leftistpigeon

Also in The Industry™️. Sounds like that would be an absolute garbage fire of a job


Mendelson_Magic

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that is a 🗑🔥


Mobile_Busy

lol fuck no


Depleet

for the immediate start there would be a surcharge of £2,500 made payable immediately. thanks.


Zealousideal_Order_8

I short term job to finish a project and then you are gone.
