More Corpo Shenanigans: Fake Job Postings

Forty-percent of companies said they have posted a fake job listing this year, according to a survey in May of 650 hiring managers from career site Resume Builder. Three in 10 companies currently have fake listings on their sites or on job boards, according to the survey. (Article by CBS)

I saw this (and liked and boosted it) over on Mastodon, but I wanted to drop it here for posterity so that hopefully we can look back in a few years and, with as much sarcasm as we can muster, clap back at these greedy bastards with, “And how’d that work out for you, ya jackhole?”

As a currently out-of-work software engineer, seeing this kind of bullshit makes me so angry! It’s just another reminder of just how little corpos care about the very people that make them function, and just shows their parasitism and cannibalism that is inherenet in their DNA. As a person who worked in the HR recruitment space for a job board that propagates this bullshit, it also makes me angry at just how powerless I was to help stop this asshattery from the inside.

Corpos are not your friends, nor are they your family.
