Most of you already know the drill here, but if not........
Folks, feel free to share crazy job postings you see. I've been wanting to create a thread like this for a while, and think it would be fun of we can keep it updated periodically.
Warning: Do not copy paste a job description, do not include a link to the post, or client details. Keep it within forum post guidlines!
Not sure what those guidelines are? Go here: https://community.upwork.com/t5/Announcements/Upwork-Community-Guidelines/td-p/3/jump-to/first-unrea...

I occasionly get graphic design or writing jobs in my feed (pretty sure beause the client picked the wrong category.) Since they are pretty rare, I often look at them. More times then not, it's those bottom feeding clients wanting cheap, low quality labor. Makes me really glad I'm not in either profession.

lol ... haven't heard "suck an egg" in a long time. I think that might be a back east thing.

Yeah. I'm a transplated West Coaster. I think the vegan population gets significantly smaller the farther east you travel.
What's the text message version? GSE or SAE?

The job offer is quite explicit.
Huh...I'm inclined to search for this one, just for the giggle factor.
Update: Found it. No serious verbage violations, but I would have thought this would get snagged. Somebody asleep at the wheel, or lack of training?

But I think this one ties in with a freelancer who was worried about signing an NDA for a progressive website . . .
A little while ago Upwork onboarded extra mods for weekend duty - there is precious little evidence of them.

Ouch. Sounds more like a fiverr gig to me.

Ha. I saw an ad for several 1000 word articles for $2 each. Geez. It would take more than $2 for me to type my name! Then there was the 8000 word romance for $5. Danielle Steele has not been heared from.
