Most recent one I got was a phishing scam for Trump accounts for kids (the $1k you can get if your kid was born in a Trump year). This really is a shit timeline.
The economy is so bad that scam messages went from “you won the lottery” to “remote job available $18/hr”

I’ve had 10 if Trump considers Biden’s presidency his 1 & 1/2 term… Or at least I can find 10

Shouldn’t this be ‘not the Onion’? It doesn’t have an.article but it is true

In ten years or so scam messages will be “cheap food sold directly by the farmer”.

40% of companies/recruiters freely admit to posting fake job listings.

Entire economy is a rapidly imploding scam.

I worked for a company where I sometimes tried to refer people to positions posted on our website, only to learn from HR that they weren’t real positions and they were posted to meet some legal requirements I wasn’t given details about.
That same company burned 12 internal employees’ time across 350+ applicants and a countless sea of interviews over a 6 month period. We arrived at consensus. Stated who we’d like to hire and were told the req had been closed the day prior. Was it ever real? We’ll never know. Did we waste well into the six figures of people’s time and energy? 100%.
Same company a few months after laid off entire departments, sunset numerous product lines with paying customers, and last I heard the current owners are just keeping it in hobble along maintenance mode and extracting profits before it crashes. Dumpster fire.

Best case scenario, HR is setting up fake jobs to make it look like an internal transfer or promotion was actually competetive.
Worst case scenario, they’re just doing it to pad the numbers of ‘how many new positions we’re looking to fill = we are growing rapidly!’ Stupid shsreholders might buy that.
Super duper worst case scenario, its all a data mining operation on the pool of potential employees… the company is so fucked it has to essentially contract itself out to market research firms.
Those are my 3 guesses.
Your particular situation makes #1 seem unlikely… thats waaay too much man hours devoted to interviews, when the company itself is bleeding out employees.

Go to restaurants and bars and give them your resume. If corporate isn’t going to work for, or with, you they can fuck off. I gave one bar my resume and now I have a full time job (after eighth months of dishwashing, I got promoted to food prep which comes with mornings shift and more hours)

The rent and utilities are too damn high for me to do that. The amount these jobs are willing to pay is far below what I make at my shitty (because Trump) job.
