Already deleted, but this is the exact quote:

“How do I log out of this?

Haven’t worked here in weeks. Anyway, the NBA overextends it’s social media employees greatly to the detriment of their health and social lives for a salary of less than $50k annually after taxes.

I worked 14 hour shifts without breaks at times. Shoutout Adam Silver.

We don’t get health insurance until 90 days on the job! That’s silly isn’t it?

Glad I resigned, no need for a job to get in the way of your happiness.

Donate to mental health causes ✌️”

    That’s my takeaway.

    I make about $50K after taxes which I think is pretty good. But I guess maybe that guy lives in a HCOL area while I’m living in Indy. My salary wouldn’t go as far in a lot of the larger metro areas.

      If the 14 hour shifts mean 70 hours a week, then that’s bad pay. That’s about 20k a year base salary and the rest in overtime. If they even pay overtime

        In what dialect of English does “at times” mean “every single workday”?

          The “at times” part could be in relation to “without breaks”. He is working 14 hour shifts, at times without break. Still doesn’t mean he would work 70 hours every week but I assume anyone who mentions they have to work 14 hour shifts does so regulary that they are working more than the standard 40 hour week. And that has to be considered when talking about the salary. The 70 hours would be “worst case scenario”.

            Ok, so if you exaggerate what is already likely a misrepresentation, it’s really bad. Congrats
