The owner of a building company has told “snowflakes” not to bother applying for a job at his company.
Adam Weedon, the owner of Kent-based Ad-A-Brick Building Services, says he has burnt through ten "workshy" blokes in a year who "love their phone and want their mummy to pamper them".
In a tongue-in-cheek advert for his company, the 40-year-old has vowed to weed out any unsuitable candidates.
The quirky advert was shared on the business' social media page, which described what the role entails, the rate of pay and that a driving licence is required, Kent Live reports.
The advert goes on to reveal that the role is "hard work, so no snowflakes need apply".
Adam shared the ad after claiming to have unsuccessfully hired "10 blokes" aged 30 or under over the last 12 months who "love" their phones and walked off the job because they found the role 'too hard'.
"I've been looking for a building labourer and wrote the 'no snowflake' advert as everyone nowadays wants a job but doesn't want to work for the money.”
"I've had 10 people over the course of a year. They all love their phones too much and find the work, such as pushing a wheelbarrow, laying slabs and doing drives and pathways, too hard.
"I wrote the ad as they're [the people previously hired] are not fitting the bill - they're workshy, on their phone and want their mummy to pamper them.
"They leave, they don't turn up the next day because it's too hard."
A frustrated Adam said he wrote the advert after reaching the end of his tether hiring blokes who weren't up to the task.
Adam said: "The decision to write the ad had been bubbling up for a while. I've got mates who own their own companies and they all say the same thing [about workers].
"It's getting pretty tiring. I'm still looking for someone, I'll give them a try and see where it goes from there.
"The answer for the time being is working on my own. I might as well jump in and out the digger and get the job done myself."
The ad, posted on December 14, reads: "JOB ADVERT FOR JANUARY ONWARDS.
“Full-time labouring position, pay dependent on experience, hard work so no snowflakes need apply. Driving licence preferred or close to Walderslade."
