Is shit like this counted when they list the number of open job in the country?
- 1 year
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.

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.

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.

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)
Edit: yep.I’m an idiot, thanks folks, my poor example will stand as a testament to others, don’t shame yourself publicly like this and pay attention in school!

$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
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 ;)

Oh I made the stupid mistake and projected it outwards lol, my bad, I apologize and edited my post
- boydster@sh.itjust.worksEnglish1 year
Well I planned for 12 apparently, so I guess I demand a lot of vacation time. I call it the Job Creator schedule.

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.

Join, pay, request chargeback from your card company.
When they dispute it: “The position clearly says unpaid. So I won’t pay.”

That comes for free with using an LLM to make the argument.

Getting really nervous when my office computer sign-on keeps prompting me to enter my credit card information.

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! ❤️

Amateurs. Just call the weekly fee tuition, the position a research assistant, and the company a university and they are all set.
Hey, sorry overworked employees. I posted an ad to fill a position so we have enough wiggle room to let you breathe for once, but no one applied. Well, back to work!
Everytime I hear about the need to pay to do a job, my mind immediately jumps to pyramid scheme.

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.

Apparently this was some sort of job posting “experiment” from a couple of years ago.

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…
- skisnow@lemmy.caEnglish1 year
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?
- Brumefey@sh.itjust.worksEnglish1 year
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.

Well… it’s not an unpaid internship, we’re just not splitting hairs on who’s getting paid.

Hungary unofficially have pay for internship positions thanks to extremely corrupt HR departments, and internship time mandates from colleges. Basically it ruined my dream of getting a college degree, because at my age especially, it would have cost me a small fortune.

I get that the glib answer will be “so they can make money”
But what is the actual thought process they are pretending to go through here? Cause the experience of being a prompt engineer is not some sought after experience like how people pay to be movie PAs for free or work as an artist assistant.

That people would be so excited to “get their foot in the door of th prompt engineering job market” that theyd pay for the opportunity
Someone posted above that this was from a couple years ago and done as a test to see who would respond to this type of ad sort of thing.
