THE GARBAGE JOB TAKEOVER CONTINUES

[@furiousdestroyah9999]

Trying to find your first job in this economy is truly one of the experiences of all time

[@Phonespider]

I don't think their goal with this job ad is hiring someone. It's so that they can say they can't find anyone therefore getting an H1-B slave is justified.

[@InvisibleHotdog]

Basically Canada right now

[@businesscat4435]

Imagine how much better the job market would be without H1Bs.

[@izamalcadosa2951]

Facts, bro! This is the American Corporate excuse for getting H1B visa workers! We, Americans, can't live off of those wages presented on this video by Joshua!

[@StainleyLebron]

I have 12 years of exp, here in Canada, I received a call to work in a Canadian company and the hiring manager asked me if I have education and Indian work experience to work here in Canada, they know I am not Indian, and I never been to India. Do you know why?, We couldn't find a qualified Candidate please provide the LMIA :( For that reason we have high unemployment rate.

[@bp8220]

yep, They should be required to pay an H1B double the market rate of whatever role they are trying to fill, eliminate these BS job postings overnight.

[@NotShowingOff]

My thinking is that they are making them look unappealing in order to file H1B for the job

[@brpadington]

This is exactly what they are doing. Problem is they will need citizens to fix all the shit the h1bs will break.

[@devingray1761]

I’ve applied to this job because the job market is terrible and I’ve been rejected, can’t even get an interview, because I don’t have a degree despite 10 years experience. I hate it here. LA is burning down and a company wants to undersell employees and teach property owners how to legally price gauge.

[@RvcC-cu1zh]

Americans have to charge high wages because of landlord parasites rent gouging.

[@sathdk79]

10 years experience is the problem. It is agism. You are too smart, cost more, and are harder to intimidate.

[@morganseppy5180]

Gotta get out of LA. Cost of living is killing you

[@RP-uu7oq]

Have you looked into WGU? My husband is getting a degree with them. They are better for people who already know what they're doing, so it could be a good solution for you. Spend 6 months (or maybe even just a month or 2, with your experience) on an affordable degree. It definitely can't hurt. And remember to always fill out FAFSA, because it can't hurt to try. I hope this helps.

[@BOSSDONMAN]

Companies love recent graduates, because they're desperate and cheap.

[@BOSSDONMAN]

@@bubbasanches4591 true, but a lot of corporations are chasing next quarters profits so they'll gladly take subpar services and product quality if it means optimizing margins.

Love it! Call out more. I am at the other end - and dealt with ageism in a long job search/career change just 2 years ago. I lost count of all the low ball offers, ghosting after interviews, and no response... and all the horrible job requirements.

[@haxguy0]

These companies are laying off people and rehiring at a lower pay... And the companies have never had higher revenues... Insane

[@СашЫнастраница]

Agree, this is what makes me angry the most, all they want is squeeze out more and more money. People are assets😢

[@morganseppy5180]

Outsourcing at lower pay. 15 years ago, Raymond James laid off thousands of eng8neers and outsourced. They saved millions on health care age other benefits. We need single payer health care so companoes don't have that excuse.

[@littlestinker9716]

As an older dude in tech who has moved around the country a bunch of times, CA has paid garbage wages for the past 30 years.

[@Jimmy-jm1ol]

It’s a supply demand problem. Way too many people in California for the number of jobs available,drives wages down.

[@BichaelStevens]

And Trump and Elon and Democrats (ikr? They're all together in this, wtf) say the solution is Unlimited H1B Works. _I am the "student" of my job, visa is my green card, loan is my funding. I have worked a thousand jobs, unknown to ICE, not known to IRS. Withstood registrations to create anchor babies. Yet those registrations will never happen to my 10 kids. So as I cross, Unlimited H1B Works._

[@phoebehill953]

I worked in San Diego during the 80s, and wages were low even then. We were told we were paid in “sunshine dollars“

[@MarkMarkson7]

The fact they listed early termination as a way to increase revenue is spine tingling. Now people get randomly evicted for profits?

[@anthonylarson6198]

That's below an Iowa pay rate lol

[@timtardiff1929]

The solution to that is to live in Iowa! The cost of living there is a big plus.

[@sunnyskys2428]

I'm suspecting when they treat you like a child, it's because they are trying to put you in the psychological mindset where you won't ask for adult things. eg. raises, respect etc.

[@momosgarage]

We are all witnessing the 21st century equivalent to being sent to the Gulag! This is a country wide, stealth knowledge purge of those that were not groomed or earmarked for senior management roles, but 100% know what senior managers are doing day-to-day, including actions that are both illegal and unethical. If everyone that “knows what’s up” are no longer able to find equivalent employment they are effectively silenced and are considered “dead” as knowledge workers, most won’t recover and as a result will never “be heard” ever again regardless of what they have to offer.

[@tallyp.7643]

That's why so many places want to hire "recent grads" or teens if they're not degree-related jobs: they don't know enough to know when they're being screwed yet.

[@Yasmine91646]

Thank you Josh for spreading the truth about these companies! It is greatly appreciated!

[@phoebehill953]

I can’t count the number of times my husband was promised “flexible hours“ during job interviews. That actually meant they expected 70 hours a week of work. The only flexibility was whether he’d spend all weekend working at home, or all weekend working at the company.

[@jowbloe4700]

I've made way more in Texas. No way I'd move in order to have less pay and higher expenses.

[@LV-1969]

I used to work for a defense contractor. I worked on a program located in California. I lived in the mid-west at the time and I was paid much lower than people on the west coast. As a Level III software engineer with 10 years experience, I was making less than new hires out of college in California. They wanted me to transfer out because they like the work I was doing but they didn't want to give me a bump in pay. There was no way I could afford to live out there on my salary.

[@nopedefinitelynotnahthatsnotme]

When I look around for jobs these days, they ALL pay less than my current salary. When I first started in tech I'd look to the senior roles to get an idea of what my salary might be over time as I progress, get experience, and move into more demanding roles. For my city, 5-7 years ago senior positions would pay roughly 120-130k CAD. Now? Those same roles are listed for 70-90k.... What a joke. Shittification of jobs, salary, etc is real

[@Ryan.Lohman]

Anytime a job can't hire someone locally in the area and has "Relocation Assistance" is a giant red flag. This either means they underpay, they have a revolving door, or both!

[@anthonylarson6198]

Theyre definitely violating labor laws with their interns. Also when i was entry level i started above 50k in the mid west with an associates degree. 50k in CA woth a bachelor's is insane.

[@jackcarraway4707]

Still waiting for that trickle down.

[@CobraMotivation-sy3qf]

Interest rates need to come down. That's the whole reason the economy went to shit. What do you think everybody was getting hired for tech jobs in 2021, because borrowing money was cheap and companies could pay competitive wages. Why don't you move to a socialist country? No one is forcing you to live here.

[@tallyp.7643]

An auto parts store near me is always hiring, but one position stuck out at me because it SPECIFICALLY mentions only 16 or 17 year-olds. They pay maybe $10/hr IIRC. Meanwhile, there's a grocery store with most positions starting at $16/hr. The last job fair had lines stretching from the front of the store to the back and still growing. About half the job seekers were middle aged. When I went back to shop there after, the only folks I saw older than teens or college-age were management. I was livid because these teenagers can get jobs that start out at $16/hr & may not stick around, but as a 41-year old, I've never had $16/hr in my life. And in 4 or 5 months they'll have ANOTHER job fair & it'll all start over again. Can't get my hopes up anymore, so I'm getting off this train. They want folks that won't stick around because it means they won't have to do raises, from what it looks like. I already have 2 jobs I like, they just don't pay enough, & I'm filling in my skill gaps to find a part-time WFH job to help me get out of debt & save faster. Hope I get it within a month, b/c with whatever the hell's going on in the job market and economy, I'm just gonna batten down the hatches and ride this out with what I've got the next few years (& my restaurant job offered me a promotion after some training, so that's something).

interns are not allowed to do any work that can financially benefit the company; you cannot say "intern" as a means to not pay or underpay someone. its only meant to give ppl hands on xp with doing ancillary tasks that mimic industry responsibilities, they're not supposed to use the product of intern work to make profit. but in reality, every company does the "unpaid intern" and dangles the promise of "work yourself to death for no money and maybe in a few years we will consider paying you entry level wages" laws only exist for poor ppl.
