A job posting from restaurant California, located in São Paulo, went viral on social media after listing as requirements behaviors considered basic in the workplace. The establishment explicitly asked that candidates know how to "show up on time", "work" during the entire shift, notify when absent and not disappear during work hours.
The restaurant, created in 2018, is specialized in healthy food options, bowls, pokés, salads and drinks. In the post, the establishment states it is looking for people who can "do the basics" and invites followers to check out the requirements or recommend someone for the position.
The company joked about the situation by stating: "We thought this didn't even need to be listed as requirements... but it's 2026". The post ended up gaining great repercussion on social media, showing the frustration of many employers with inappropriate behaviors in the workplace.
