Noticed this job that is in Madison, WI, but also lists Iowa City, IA, as a possible work location, that also has the blurb about the salary in CO. Someone got lazy with copy & paste?
As I said on Nope, Not for Me:
I have zero plans to ever leave UIHC. God-willing, for another 14 years, 6 months, 1 week, 1 day (5303 days), I will work here as "the" Senior Technical Writer, assigned to Disaster Recovery documentation & assigned to Knowledge Management.
