As always:
Is shit like this counted when they list the number of open job in the country?
Yes, that's the point.
Knowing how backwards things are here, yeah probably
Earn -$500 lol
-24k a year
"But you're not considering how valuable this experience will be!"
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!
$500 per week - 500x48=24k with 4 weeks of thankfully "unpaid" vacation
United States
4 weeks of vacation
Lol
If the employee “works” every day of the year they earn -$26000
My longest vacation was 3 months.*
* …after I got laid off.
Join, pay, request chargeback from your card company.

Getting really nervous when my office computer sign-on keeps prompting me to enter my credit card information.
Sounds illegal.
Everytime I hear about the need to pay to do a job, my mind immediately jumps to pyramid scheme.
The fact that I’m wondering if it serious or a joke, is worrisome…
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.
Seriously though… is this shit real?
Apparently this was some sort of job posting "experiment" from a couple of years ago.
Amateurs. Just call the weekly fee tuition, the position a research assistant, and the company a university and they are all set.
Hey, sorry overworked employees. I posted an ad to fill a position so we have enough wiggle room to let you breathe for once, but no one applied. Well, back to work!
