Comment on Fake job seekers are flooding U.S. companies that are hiring for remote positions, tech CEOs say

“simply collecting a salary they wouldn’t otherwise be able to” yes that’s the basic concept of working for a company, thank you
Personally I think it is cool that capitalists are getting fooled by their own garbage products. Most of these companies produce nothing of real value and contribute nothing but suffering and toil to society.

I get where you’re coming from, but it’s pretty clear they are saying the fake applicants would not actually be doing the work. They are just taking the place of people actually out there looking for jobs and making the job search that much harder. Capitalists aren’t suffering from this as much as workers are suffering from it.

😂 You don’t get “where I’m coming from” and I don’t buy your argument

What do you mean you don’t buy my argument? My argument that it is more detrimental to workers than owners? Then I’m not sure you understand capitalism, because money in workers pockets is inherently more impactful than money in a capitalists bank account. It’s a drop in the ocean for large corporations, but can be the difference between food or housing or healthcare to a worker. The company would be spending that money anyways, so it’s already accounted for. The nominal cost of recruitment is just going to come from a salary at the end of the day. All it does is serve to incentivize companies adding extra hoops to the hiring process and potentially screening out real people or causing extra stress/work to apply. This will not discourage workers from applying, since you know, the threat of capitalism still looms large and worker protections are low and are being dismantled day by day.
If you’re not coming from an anti capitalist place, then you’re right, I don’t get it.
