Last year, 17.4 million people (30.1 percent of the employed population) received up to a minimum wage (172.87 pesos).
Although it is true that in the face of a challenging labor market and high demand, professionals have had to diversify and learn to manage interdisciplinary tasks that go beyond their field of expertise or are associated with adjacent areas, this does not mean that companies They can try to fill a vacancy with “multitask” tasks that border on labor exploitation and cover various spaces with a single person and a single payroll… but they do exist and there are many who resort to this type of method that harms the candidates and, finally, to his own organization.
An example of this is going viral on Facebook with dozens of critics, because The company, whose name or company name is not revealed, published a vacancy for a position with more than 27 functions for a salary of 3,500 pesos per week and, in addition, with activities that belong to different corporate areas.
And it is that this type of practices in the selection processes and Human Resources are illegal and are increasingly exposed on social networks, since the new labor force (concentrated by millennials y centennials) is less tolerant of violations of their labor rights.
However, it is precisely this group of the population that suffers the most from an unstable or unfair labor market, since by filtering their interests with the offer, it is increasingly difficult for them to find work; in fact, according to statistics from the National Occupation and Employment Survey (ENOE) of December 2022, Around 38 million people in the country suffer from job insecurity situations, alternating unemployment, lack of contract and benefits, with a payment of up to a minimum wage or no fixed income.
For this reason, the tendency to try to “cancel” companies through the viralization of this type of offer is growing, since It is very common to find requests such as: work weekends (no Sunday bonus); “extra effort” (extended hours without higher pay); know how to work “under pressure” (where they recognize their poor personnel management and the lack of skills or investment to meet the demands of the position); or “control of emotions” (exposing their inability to comply with NOM 35 and admitting to having a work environment that promotes stress or workplace harassment). All this added, in most cases, to a salary below the professional average and even below the legal minimum fee.
Unfortunately, many accept these “conditions” even though they violate the Federal Labor Law (LFT) due to the economic difficulties the country is going through, where 7 out of 10 young people between the ages of 18 and 29 have difficulties entering the formal labor market, according to the study ‘Lack of job opportunities for young people in Mexico’.
