      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!

            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 ;)

          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 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.

    Amateurs. Just call the weekly fee tuition, the position a research assistant, and the company a university and they are all set.

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

      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.

      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.

    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.
