# $14 an Hour, 5 Years Experience Required — Applicant's Reply Drew 30,000 Upvotes

**[TRUE STORY]** — by Job seeker · marketing · via r/antiwork

A job listing demanding five years of SEO experience for fourteen dollars an hour — roughly thirty thousand dollars a year — drew a cover letter telling the employer they were "out of your ever-loving mind" and to "go outside and touch some grass." The r/antiwork post by u/rainingmafackas collected over 30,000 upvotes and a chorus of fellow applicants who confirmed they too submit hostile cover letters to absurd job listings as a hobby.
