The fact a Vancouver restaurant is offering $50,000 a year for a dishwashing job illustrates just how desperate some restaurants owners are for staff, said the director of the Richmond-based BC Asian Restaurant Café Owners Association.
A recent job posting titled “Effects of labour shortage, $50K per annum to wash dishes,” has gone viral on Reddit and WeChat. The job posting states, “pay per hour will be $25 for 40 hours per week. No experience or education is required, and training will be provided to the eligible candidates.”
