    Well when we die how else are we supported to pay off our debt. Quit being selfish!

    Because I am creating fake job listings just so I can see who I am up against.

    • If a company looks like it is hiring, that is a good sign to investors and employees

    • A company has to prove they can’t hire domestically before turning foreign, so they post unrealistic job requirements

    • Managers are delusional, and believe a rockstar employee will show up and only need minimum wage

    • Overworked employees can be placated by the promise that somebody else will be brought in, even if the position is never actually filled

    • Companies like to have a backlog so that if they ever do want to hire, they already have a list
