I would think an up front calculation of cost of living in San Francisco (in top 5 highest in US) vs offered salary would show it was not feasible to take that job.

Did you consider that maybe making a tiny wage is better than no wage at all? Even in SF? Did you consider that maybe she has personal/family reasons to live where she does?

It just seems a little ridiculous to suggest someone just "get another job" somewhere else without knowing basically anything about their situation. It also deflects from the issue that Yelp is paying these ridiculously low wages to their full time employees.

Yes, or she might have considered getting a roommate.

So then why is Yelp offering it? Why do you think they offer that job at a salary that you feel a simple calculation reveals to be insufficient?

Whoa. Hold on there buddy. Are you implying that someone actually take personal responsibility for their actions and financial decision making? You better hope that twitter doesn't get word of this.

English, Sir or Ma'am. We speak English in this forum. I do not know what you're saying as it is foreign to me. Please refrain from that bothersome language as we are all about communication here.
