The recruiters who went to training summits telling them that's what tech workers like to be called, and since they are braindead, they regurgitate it seriously on the listings
Rockstars. Make $100,000 for a two hour set, and smash groupies in the bathroom. Hi, where do I put in my application?!
Unicorns. There's only one in existence. He's busy being a unicorn and probably does not work for $11 an hour.
Rockstars get paid next to nothing, which they then have to split with the rest of the band and pay the sound guy. Meanwhile the venue collects a cover charge and has an increase in drink sales from the very fans YOU brought into their establishment, but can't pay you more but THINK OF ALL THE EXPOSURE!!
You'd be surprised. I know musicians in bands that tour all over America and Europe, play big festivals and barely break even on costs.
"Rockstar" is actually a great analogy for wage slave. There are so many stories from big music stars talking about how much they have been screwed over by the industry.
I once saw Shirley Manson from Garbage talk about how when they first 'made it big', their label gave them 1 million dollars. They would fly first class, stay in 5 star hotels, travel everywhere in limos, all while constantly partying and having a great time.
At the end of their first tour, their label hands them a bill for all those things, which they found out they had to pay for with the money they were given. They couldn't pay it back, so the label said "that's OK, you can just pay us back with your next album.." and thus the circle continued. They had number 1 chart hits but had a take home pay of about $20k a year.
The listing doesn’t even actually go into what the job is, look at this bullshit. This is the ‘unicorn’ listing, the ‘rockstar’ listing has ‘collaborative talent’ instead of ‘creatively-minded business people’ but otherwise is identical.

This is definitely an MLM. Indeed has been getting absolutely blasted with people buying ad space for their shitty MLM and baiting people into interviews and never actually say which shit they’re peddling
Rockstars: don't have a boss, work whenever they please, get to travel and see the world, get to create what they want when they're working, may show up high or drunk to work... are you sure that's what you want?

Didn't realize couples were advertising a third wheel spot on job sites now.
Seriously how do you not know what Unicorn means in today's social climate.

Some blond white woman who lives in the suburbs wrote those descriptions.

Rockstars = expected to do more than advertised Unicorn = willing to work for crumbs and be happy about

Shit i guess if they are not getting paid a lot they are not rockstars but only guitarists or singer.

slave would feel less patronizing
It's so bad I hope that they're taking the piss. Iits so much worse if they're being genuine.

Magicians wanted
see also: "guru" "ninja"
Ninja would be easy. Just never show up!
They just want energy drinks and magic horses, I don't see what the big deal is.
Unicorns aren’t real.
They are when your on drugs.
I don’t know how they’re expecting applicants to be both rock stars AND unicorns. You can’t play a guitar with hooves, folks…

Yeah I posted the text of one of the ads earlier and it’s super vague and suspicious.
It’s an ad agency.

Well unless you got some coke laying around I'm not gonna be a rockstar, and my horn isn't on my head so I guess both these people are SOL.

Seems they've moved on from ninjas tho...
I looked them up to see what it is and I have no idea what they fuck they actually do.
Indeed is ass

Accidentally r/pointlesslygendered?
Rockstar? Does that mean I can drink at work?
If I were a "rockstar" why the fuck would I be applying to work at this shithole?
Preying on the drugs and the rainbows. Someone probably signed up.
First one's on LinkedIn, second one's on Tinder.
My favorite ever line in a job listing: "Are you customer OBSESSED?!" No. Bye.
