dan1101 , in Trump expects Biden to be a 'worthy debater' after spending months attacking his mental fitness

Are we finally seeing a crack in the Trump ego?

pyre ,

not really but he set the bar for biden so low somebody probably reminded him that if biden strings three words together he’s gonna seem way better now. so now TFG is trying to set expectations the other way. he literally said “maybe I’ll lose on purpose” like a fucking 7 year old.

CaptainSpaceman , in It's wild how many job listings might be fake

Resume Builder, which offers résumé templates, surveyed nearly 650 hiring managers in May and found nearly seven in 10 said it was “morally acceptable” to post fake jobs.

So 70% of HR people have done or are doing this.

Hiring managers credited the move with increasing revenue, morale, and how much workers get done.

How does this increase revenue? Isnt this a giant waste of time? Unless there was some ulterior motive ofc, and the APPEARANCE of hiring needs to be in tact.

About seven in 10 of the fake jobs were on a company website or LinkedIn, according to the survey. And, yet, despite all the shenanigans, many fake listings often lead to real interviews — and even employment.

MANY!!! Like, 3.

Four in 10 hiring managers said they always contacted workers who applied for made-up jobs. Forty-five percent said they sometimes contacted those job seekers. Among companies that contacted applicants, 85% report interviewing the person.

“A lot of them are getting contacted and interviewed at some point, so it’s not necessarily a black box,” Haller said.

Again, this maintains the APPEARAMCE of hiring without actually hiring. From what I had read before, there are some business loans that have certain hiring requirements that make this necessary.

Also, the other commenter mentioned its for pushing American jobs to foreign H1B visa jobs.

Whatever the case, its fucked up.

It’s all about metrics. That’s the core reason for all of it. Someone wants jobs wanted numbers. Someone wants application review numbers. Interview numbers. Numbers metrics wasting time proof you’re doing something.

Another reason is to appear fair (which is just another metric). New manager position open, but you already know who you’re giving it to? Doesn’t matter, you have to post the listing and follow up with everything that entails.

The HR sector are a blight on humanity. They’re the HOA of corporate departments.

stoly , in Trump expects Biden to be a 'worthy debater' after spending months attacking his mental fitness

This is press control prior to the event. This is so he can say that he didn’t lose due only to his own incompetence.

gentooer ,

Or so his supporters can say that he didn’t lose due only to his own incompetence.

El_guapazo , in Man guns down 3 women, including his mom, in separate shootings within 1 hour: Florida police - ABC News

I’ll assume he’s a US citizen since there’s no mention of his immigration status.

psmgx ,

It’s FL – if he was an immigrant they’d be broadcasting that as loudly as possible

catloaf ,

Yup. I don’t know what it was, but I saw Fox News reporting on someone earlier today, and the first word in the headline was “migrant”.

dan1101 , in Protecting just 1.2% of Earth’s land could save most-threatened species, says study

If I was emperor of the world I’d decree that no more than 50% of land can be used by humans. That’s PLENTY.

RandomGuy79 , in Analysis: The fertility crisis is here and it will permanently alter the economy | CNN Business

Do not worry. When you refuse to live on in absolute poverty with children, your rukers will import those that will. The capitalist machine marches ON

walter_wiggles , in It's wild how many job listings might be fake

HR could be gathering intel on current market conditions, like what salaries people are expecting, etc.

RandomGuy79 , in It's wild how many job listings might be fake

I can tell you this, many people apply and interview where I work, but no one gets hired.

If they gave a fuck about sustainability they wouldn’t be hosting the Olympics in Paris in the middle of summer.

Hey Hillary, we’d all appreciate it if you stopped being a public figure.

sunzu , in Afghan girls accuse Taliban of sexual assault after arrests for ‘bad hijab’

Y'all... Pretext for harrasment is always legal ;) then it is... He said, she said. Ain't it grand to allow some people these rights.

We know this and we have known this... But yet we still trust pigs, clergy and politicians...

I guess we got a society we deserve.

And if you think this is Afghan specific issue... Grow up lol

Twinklebreeze ,

What the fuck are you talking about?

sunzu ,

your clown society.

AmidFuror ,

Can't it be worse in some places than others, and therefore needing more attention there?

sunzu ,

No doubt about that...

My main point is that people will get their faux outrage worked here while they are in denial that this same thing happens in the US... to this day.

Police sexually assaulting women after "pretext" stop is story as old as "police" enforcement

We as a society turned blind eye to this and still do... phone makes it hard but we still do it.

At societal level there is a pot calling cattle black

AmidFuror ,

There is a massive difference in the degree. The situation for women in Afghanistan is terrible. Should no one write articles about girls not being allowed to attend school in Afghanistan because sometimes teachers and administrators at US public schools discourage girls from participating in STEM?

sunzu ,

I never said such a thing... I am merely providing context for people before they do the ol' reliable cope: "at least we are not Afghanistan"

Also, you don't have to be a girl to be discouraged from academic achievement in the US... being poor is plenty enough ;)

AmidFuror ,

True about being poor, but at least we're not Afghanistan.

werefreeatlast , in Fearing Losses, Banks Are Quietly Dumping Real Estate Loans

The churn will continue…you become a high paid employee at 50, the new kids get paid 10% below you because you’re “senior”. Then you all get 3% increases. You get retired. They keep getting 3% increases while you don’t. Suddenly they get paid more than you. You start having trouble paying for stuff because it’s so expensive. Then suddenly you gotta sell your house to have enough. A newly graduated kid gets paid the same as you, they buy your house. You can’t buy a house anymore, so you move to a cheaper area where you can afford something. Then you moved again and again. Take on stamp collecting as a cheap affordable hobby. Blah blah. You end up in a retirement home. Then your kids can’t afford that. Next thing you know you’re under a bridge and you love the freedom for like 3 days. Then you really wanna shower but you can’t. The welfare office is far from the YMCA, so you find a Walmart cart. A guy shows you where to collect soda cans and where to sell them. You two become friends but he OD’s… you inherit his cart. Then you help a new guy to find cans with you. So then you OD. And the guy in your house is retiring…the cycle continues.

Oddly specific.

I_Miss_Daniel ,

… and in Australia (at least) you pay a massive Stamp Duty each time you buy a new place.

Colonel_Panic_ ,

Where can I find the used cans?

werefreeatlast ,

Hey friend 🤗! Come on man, we’ll find you some cans! Place number 1 where people don’t look is under cars! Just sit here, watch the cars leaving the street parking and jump in to profit! But do it quick or a Karen might just give your cart to Bob…Sorry Karen! Yeah, not all Karen’s are bad! Specially not you!
