A response to an applicant has gone viral when the general manager of Peck’s in Clinton Hill, Kyle Dollinger, wrote a sarcastic and disrespectful retort to an applicant who asked about salary in response to a now deleted job posting on Craigslist.

Peck’s, known for its breakfast sandwiches, owned by Theodore Peck, also has a nearby Fort Greene coffee shop Peckish. It was not clear which cafe posted the ad for employment.

Passed late last year, the salary transparency act will require employers in New York State to list salary ranges for all advertised jobs and promotions. It goes into effect September 17, 2023; however, New York City’s transparency law went into effect in November.

“It would seem the city has some work to do in terms of educating employers about our salary transparency law,” the applicant Liam Quigley, wrote on Twitter on Thursday, June 29, “judging by this reply I got when inquiring about a job at a Brooklyn eatery.”

Dollinger noted what is and isn’t sarcasm in brackets, below:

Hello Liam —

Great intro. [That’s sarcasm.] It is stipulated right there in the advertisement; it says “DOE” which means “Dependent on Experience” [Not sarcasm.]

I cannot rightly tell you a salary when you do not provide me with your experience, which, at the very lease would come by way of a “resume” [Slight sarcasm]. Which you did not include — which was also requested on the same advertisement [Not sarcasm]. So how about this: the salary range is anywhere from $0/hour to $1 Billion Dollars/hour + tips [Slight sarcasm].

Now either send me your resume, or don’t [Not sarcasm].

Kyle

Over 360,000 people have viewed Quigley’s Tweet with over 40 responses, including a Twitter user who speculated about the workplace environment. “Peck’s Foods. Wow, dude put some loving effort into such an elaborate way of saying ‘run screaming from this workplace, I am just the biggest prick of a boss in history and live to crap on my ill-compensated and lavishly-abused underlings.’”

The restaurant has reportedly left Twitter since the incident; others have migrated over to the restaurant’s Instagram account to comment, including one follower, who wrote, “Great post! [Sarcasm.]”

In response to those who asked why the restaurant didn’t comply with New York State law, the restaurant responded, “One of the best things we can do is learn from our mistakes!” Eater has reached out to Dollinger and Peck’s for comment.
