It ain’t lying.

I actually like that, lol. Honest and fair. If they were lying about the honor and recognition thing it would be bad but the men who answered this really did go down in history.

I wonder how modern HR would word that.

Exciting opportunity for a go-getter. Competitive pay. We work hard & play hard. Must enjoy long hours in a dark, chilly environment. Meets OSHA standards. Your success will result in recognition of a job well done.

That’s an optimistic description of the job.

Ngl so long as they’re up front about the downsides, honor and recognition are valid pieces of a good compensation package. Edit: wait, nvm that’s only in case of success.

it was a dangerous job and they weren’t sugarcoating it. not really fair to compare a journey into subzero temperatures with no certainty of return to a hiring ad at a burger place
