I'm job hunting and went to a website to confirm if it was a real business. It just sucks that it's my personal responsibility™️ to make sure the email that replied to my application was the real thing. That somewhere between the email confirmations, the website redirects, and the occasional polite interviews, somebody could've just taken my personal information or gotten my money.

And then there's nobody who will do anything if I did get scammed.

But go off on how nobody wants to work anymore. This shit is exhausting.

I've been saying this about various apartment buildings that collapsed in recent years. Am I supposed to be inspecting buildings that I'm planning on spending significant time in? I don't know how...

MLM/cold calling pyramid schemes were the worst I'd experienced. How those "job" listings are allowed to exist is beyond me

shout-outs to the australian welfare system requiring 20 (could've sworn it was 40) applications per month to be eligible for benefits, directly feeding into this bullshit.

What's more humanizing than being threatened with starvation if you don't send out pointless applications.

In the US, several companies have job listings that aren't real just to get benefits for being understaffed. Because it wasn't enough to get ppp loans and tax cuts.
