Literally paying to work
Sounds illegal.
Does whatever country this is posted from not have a minimum wage? Screenshot says USA, I thought they did have one?
Yes, but since volunteering is a thing, they may think they’re in the clear. Doubt they are though.
Everytime I hear about the need to pay to do a job, my mind immediately jumps to pyramid scheme.
If you need to pay for something, it is a huge red flag.
Earn -$500 lol
-24k a year
Do not let this person split up a bill for your restaurant party, folks
(I’m only joking, but I think you did the math the wrong way, $500x12=$6k)
Easy mistake to make. Also words can not describe my admiration and respect for someone who can leave a comment like this up with a humble edit.
I might double check your math if we split the cheque, but unlike 99% of the people on the internet, I already can tell that I would WANT to have a supper with you.
It’s per week.
500 x 4 = 2000/month
2000 x 12 = 24k
By all means i’d love to split restaurant bills with you ;)
There are 52 weeks in a year not 48. 500 x 52 = 26000.
Oh I made the stupid mistake and projected it outwards lol, my bad, I apologize and edited my post
$500 per week - 500x48=24k with 4 weeks of thankfully “unpaid” vacation
United States
4 weeks of vacation
Lol
If the employee “works” every day of the year they earn -$26000
My longest vacation was 3 months.*
* …after I got laid off.
How many weeks are there in a year?
Well I planned for 12 apparently, so I guess I demand a lot of vacation time. I call it the Job Creator schedule.
a lot
52
“But you’re not considering how valuable this experience will be!”
So much to evade that gap in the resume
What gap?
I’ve not been unemployed, I’ve been under a strict NDA for a very private employer. No, I’m not allowed their share their contact information. Sorry.
Hmm yeah don’t do that with any job with decent background checks.
No if you know they’re gonna have to check, then you’ve worked for your cousin Randy at his placeofbusiness doing menialchore related to the industry.
You can confirm this by calling Mr Randolphius McGillecuddy, Esq.
Some background checks will look into your taxes and finances. Cousin Randy needs to be organised and rich.
big brain move
Getting really nervous when my office computer sign-on keeps prompting me to enter my credit card information.
Please report for organ harvesting on Thursday at nine.
Scheduling conflict. Can we do chloroform at lunch instead?
Sorry, your insurance doesn’t cover that, so it would have to be out of pocket.
Bring a cashier’s check for $7,400 to lunch and we’ll take care of the rest! ❤️
But it’s casual dress, and there’s a pizza party afterward!
Is shit like this counted when they list the number of open job in the country?
Almost certainly, they’re counting on their “audits” consisting of a script that looks for “$500 per week” in the descriotion to confirm that they’re posting ads.
Yes, that’s the point.
Knowing how backwards things are here, yeah probably
This is two years old if not older. Why is this popping up here?
bots
Because it’s still funny
I’ve seen this meme before, therefore it is inconveniencing my internet experience and that is against the rules!
OH MY GOD I SAW SOMETHING OLD!?!?!!??!?!?!?!?!
Cross posting this to shitty million dollar ideas. This is the kind of out of the box thinking that we need to increase corporate profits and pump up those numbers. You are a real go getter here. good job.
this will be a competitive prompt engineer salary in about two years time.
The fact that I’m wondering if it serious or a joke, is worrisome…
It’s definitely a joke or some sort of weird art statement, the only thing that bothers me is that I once got my decade-old account banned from LinkedIn for posting a job that they decided was discriminatory because it had a language requirement, and yet somehow this has passed their filters?
You say definitely but it could be serious. In China there are people who pay to work, to avoid being « flagged » as unemployed, which apparently is worse than paying for a fake job.
Link so I can apply?
yeah itd be a shame if they got flooded with bs applications
Not OP but pretty sure it’s this one. Good luck!

thanks, i really wanted to hear this song but was too lazy to search it!

Glad to be of service. At least one person appreciates the effort I put into this

Unfortunately for you I can recognise the URL of the official video upon hover. Try a reupload next time maybe :)
Besides the obvious tipoff, is there some sort of fraudulent or tax reason why they would make the employee pay for it?
Maybe so you can hire people from overseas?
Dream job for the employer, that is.
Amateurs. Just call the weekly fee tuition, the position a research assistant, and the company a university and they are all set.
Join, pay, request chargeback from your card company.
When they dispute it: “The position clearly says unpaid. So I won’t pay.”
