Yup, I'm not even American and I can relate. I worked less than 2 months by the end of 2023 and that was three different jobs where I passed. One was three days and it was bullshit, one was three weeks (high pay but bs too) and then my current job which quite frankly is the best of them all. Probably not getting fired because of how desperate those people are. I'm already in the process of getting tf away from that job, but hey it was a good one except the pay is shit.

I had a company call me a year later, they hired me. It was a total disaster. The dude didn't even train me, there were several items that required 2 people to build and they had me do it myself. When payday came, I was supposed to have direct deposit but the manager didn't set it up so I had to wait for a physical check to come. They didn't tell me the checks come on the supply truck, the same supply truck that was 2 days late and had to be fully unloaded before they could get to the box containing such checks. The same supply truck that not only was late but had the wrong box and I had to wait an extra week for. This is a rather large company too. High end vendor. Like $3800.00 outdoor porch chairs levels of high end. And this was around 2016

So...fake positions are a prerequisite to justify the H1-B visa abuse. Step 1: Create a bunch of fake positions that no one has qualifications for, keep them open for months. Step 2: File paperwork with the government claiming you have X jobs that Americans can't do (Govt doesn't check to see if reqs are even POSSIBLE) Step 3: Company receives H1B visas that for some reason ALL go to the same town in India where the Boss originally came from. Step 4: Boss extorts money from the visa holders for a portion of their wages. Step 5: Sometimes the COMPANY gets caught in wrongdoing so they pay the fines with corporate income, boss is isolated, and not disciplined.

[@SpaceMonkey23101]

Good answer. I think this is a big factor.

[@lexmercatoria2774]

In the eyes of the corporate C-suite mafia for the last 25 years or so there's been a shortage of 22 year old devs/engineers/whatever with 7-10 years experience in 5-7 year old technology (yes, you read that correctly) who are willing to work 50 hrs/week for burger flipping wages. There has never been a real shortage of skilled professionals, the Indians were never needed, and Sanjay and Kumar don't have to have the same skill level as Americans do because the former are more "fiscally" qualified--the only metric the execs care about. The "shortage" has always been industry lobbying group (ITAA) propaganda. Job numbers != jobs. Notice the media only speaks of jobs, job postings, and job numbers; they don't say X number of people were hired in the State, only that there are Y number of jobs posted/available. The larger companies are also in collusion with the State for their mutual benefit: the companies on the left pay less in unemployment taxes, the State on the right can boast about high numbers of jobs posted, while job seekers stuck in the middle are screwed.

You can pay up to 30K for an "advertisement" on a site that belongs to you or a friend and create a tax loop, basically paying yourself and writing this off as an ad campaign.

[@DeistPaladin]

I wish I'd heard your advice when I was a teenager. When I got my MBA, I'd been told it stood for "Millions and Billions Award". A joke, obviously, but I believed the message. What a crock of shit. While the accounting classes were useful, most of what I "learned" was garbage, some of it propaganda. For example, I learned about "perfect markets" (their term). You can't fool the stock market, they said. The stock price reflects all future profits discounted to the net present value using the current rate of interest. Utter bullshit. How many bubbles have inflated and burst in that time since? College, for most, is not just a waste of money, not just a waste of time but a waste of the most previous time in your life, your 18-25 years where the decisions you make can echo for the rest of your life. Time not only has value but your youth has more value than your old age. Unfortunately, in my mid-50s, I'm in the "wrap it up" phase of life, when I've learned too late how much I was lied to.

[@WTHenry2023]

Yep brother, I received my Millions and Billions Award too. What they didn't explain is that the schools are the ones making the millions and billions. Agreed that accounting was the only useful courses. My company paid for my executive MBA but it was two years out of my prime where all I did was work and go to school. I could have better spent that time taking the few courses (such as accounting) which helped my career and also spending more time with friends, family and hobbies (which makes life worth living). It is part of the educational-industrial complex and is a mirage. My first clue was all the job postings that said bachelors required/MBA preferred (but not necessary).

Yes Cappy, I have noticed the same dystopia that have taken over the job market and the mating market. Women now try to keep lots of orbiters around so that they can always call one whenever The Wall hits; similarly, employers try to keep up a big list of potential employees so that they can hire a replacement when one of their own leaves. Getting a callback on a job application now seems to be as low probability as having some chick on Tinder respond. At some point workers/men figure out that life is a just a stupid game, and so they Go Galt on everything.

This later led to me changing careers because of how insanely outgunned I was tbh, but as I did it I felt guilty that people would apply to a job that doesn’t exist so I kept it as non time-consuming as possible. Shame that these HR reps don’t feel the same.

So basically in order to get an accurate picture of the current job market you have to take the post revising figures from months back and then reduce that even further by about 45% or so to get a realistic number for how many job's are available/being created. Then factor in how many that were left are part time vs full time because the end result will be even bleaker after that.

That’s just it. The posts are intentionally fake because the companies have no money. They can’t actually afford to fill even half of their vacancies. They just post these ghost posts to help keep the overworked staff’s morale a little higher. “Don’t worry guys, we’re hiring, help is on the way! Just give us a couple months.” It’s also a last ditch effort to signal to Wall Street they’re more profitable than they really are. “No, please don’t dump our stock investors, look see? We’re profitable, we just put out a ton of ads that we’re hiring.” It’s all theater.

i got injured over a year and a half ago. i am going to a work compensation occupational assistance as i might not be able to return to work doing what i had a college education to perform. i am having to fill out jobs competing against high school graduate. even the lady having me fill these jobs out, tells me that over 50 percent of all the jobs i fill out, are fake. so she get paid to have me fill out fake jobs, i have to fill out the fake job, then some one is her supervisor. the ones that call me, they really think that i am going to work for 12 dollars an hour. so its all shit.

[@Electrical-Engineer]

Sorry to hear about your misfortune. If you don't mind my asking, what were you doing before the accident, and how would your injury get in the way of being rehired?

Physical therapist in a skilled nursing facility. I herniated lower back and effected strength in left leg due to nerve impingement. Injury occurred during transfer training with severely obese geriatric community we have today. 😊

​@@ProclaimPassagewait! I can get paid for making corn? Isn't that subsidized by government? 😂 have a great weekend

[@Electrical-Engineer]

@@BlakesPipes Wow, that's horrible. It's also completely preventable, which makes me angry that this happened to you. Talk to a mechanical engineer, but I'm fairly sure that he could put together a reasonably simple hoisting system, a few pulleys and ropes, that would eliminate the need for that kind of exertion. It's medieval level technology, if even that. I imagine that a freshman could handle that project, with ease. Your boss just didn't care enough about his own staff to look into that. Cars can be lifted with muscle power and a few pulleys, without anybody being maimed.

It's to keep the general population busy and distracted. It helps to provide the impression that the economy still resembles a free job market when it is in fact managed socialism.

My previous “new” boss posted my job behind my back two months after he arrived. 3 of my coworkers brought it to my attention. Boss whined because it took a year and a half to find someone with my unique set of skills. He then moved me into a new lateral position, and 2 months later eliminated the new position. Like watching a really slow train wreck😊

[@titolovely8237]

I altogether stopped doing the skills tests or test projects things companies want you to do. I told the hr lady at one potential employer that if my degree in the literal specific thing they’re hiring for (it’s a technical degree) wasn’t proof enough I was worth an interview then I already know this isn’t going to be a good fit

[@moviesynopsis001]

These are not all ghost jobs, they are just ghost jobs for white males. My twin sister and I both graduated last year with the same bachelors and had both been applying for the exact same jobs. She had a 75 percent call back rate within a week of applying and I have not had a single call back. She got a job after 3 weeks of looking with multiple interviews and it's very well paying with great work life balance, I have not had a single interview and have pretty much given up looking. I am happy for my sister as she is one of my best friends but at the same it has made me feel very discouraged. Honestly it's very similar to the differences between me and my sisters tinder account, she has what seems like an unlimited amount of options and I have very little to none.

What horseshit, and women want men who make more money than them. How the fuck are men supposed to find good women if the women are taking all the jobs men should have in the first place?

[@unc1221]

All men bruh. I’m black same situation. I graduated a few years ago, prepare to go to work saying the bare minimum. Do not speak, do not gaze, do not trust your manager who 9 times out of 10 will be a female. Right now, as a heterosexual male, you are the most despised thing in America. Also, get off the dating apps, you’re better off just paying for sex or getting head at the strip club. Waste of time.

[@Pacillac]

It’s so bad out there. I made a video about finding a job on my channel it’s blowing up right now. Yes it’s my own fault i chose a bad major but geez I can’t even get into entry level right now. Recruiter ladies have even made fun of my resume it’s hilarious

[@unc1221]

Degrees are just stat fillers now. Waste of youth and mind. But yeah you will be better off looking for temp work.

How can one more qualify for DEI grant monies or enforce DEI hiring than to have a constant flow of openings that will only be filled by those being actively sought?

[@07wrxtr1]

It’s not “grant money.” It’s blackrock owning > 5% of the company then being granted a chair on the board which leads to the esg extortion racket. Most companies can only raise capital investment via selling shares or dating blackrock… Blackrock is where all of the corporate woke bs comes from

[@holdenc3082]

Fair enough. Turn the tables on them. Just make sure that when you land a job that only half of the effort you put out is actually real.

Shouldn't fines be levied by the FTC for any company that engages in employment fraud? Isn't that grounds for a lawsuit? Where are all of the greedy lawyers when you need one? No really, here is a great opportunity for a major jackpot lawsuit and any lawyer even hearing about this seems to just make themselves scarce.

As a chemical engineer, it's brutal. During my 6th interview with a glass manufacturer, they said "Wait, you don't have any experience in the automotive industry? We're really looking for someone with that kind of experience", and they ended the interview right then and there. I'm in the middle of interviewing for another place right now, literally the exact same role as my current job, just at a different place. Had to do 3 interviews with the recruitment agency. Then 3 interviews with the hiring manager (based in Cali). Then 2 interviews on-site. Then they had me make a lengthy technical presentation (took me ~30 hours) and give the presentation. Now they keep calling me back to give the presentation to different groups. Funny thing is, the recruiter told me they've been trying to hire for this role for 8 months. The hiring manager said "it's a brand new position". Meanwhile we've spent 2 months playing this game where I basically have 2 full-time jobs and I don't even work for them. Also, btw, don't go into chemical engineering. Statistically about 80 openings per year, nationwide, but relocation costs are so high that companies can't afford to hire anyone that's not local. It's also one of the only engineering disciplines that you can't do remotely.

[@httm241]

have considered bribing the recruiter?

[@hopperstreams4487]

No. Not a chance in hell. They can either pay me as a contractor in writing if it take more than 1.5 hours, or they can kiss my ass. And I'm sure they'll try to gaslight about wOrK eThIc because they're mad I don't work for free. Nobody reading this should be working for free.

[@jimw7550]

I have worked as a chemical engineer for 34 years. Four jobs with hiring interviews in total hours of 2, 1, 0.5 & 3. Job offer in 0 to 3 days after interview. No interviews in last 22 years.

Helpful tip for those in the job market: AI can quickly customize your resume for each job posting, along with writing a custom cover letter for each one. Doing this cuts the time it takes to do each application by like 90%.

[@Royal_G80]

Last 2 HR people I talked to told me they were in the final stages of hiring a candidate This was after the position was posted for about a week. I thought that was way too fast to have final interviews set up. Just wondering if this is an example of fake job postings
