Apparently they have to offer open positions to prospective employees even if they intend to recruit/promote from within the company in a lot of places, or they could be dragged through the courts to be fined. I don't agree with the ruling, and it should be removed. A lot of companies ignore it as it is only enforceable if someone notices, but it is a sh*tty rule

in addition to having skewed ideas about fair pay, Companies also should make decisions based off of the feedback of the people who are doing the work, not an executive or board of directors who have no idea.

In some states, you can sue them for wasting your time under the "False Promises" clause. If they say they are bringing you in for a job interview and they tell you they had no intention of hiring you but encouraging you to continue with your studies, that's a waste of your time and money.

Company: Bring on the robots.

For extra fun, hide the bootstraps they always bang on about

Because they want your signature in blood on the contract before they tell you that your salary is $12.50 per hour minus the mandatory fees: $1 for coffee money, $2 for heating, lighting and use of office equipment and $1.75 for cleaning your cubicle.

“Nobody wants to slave.” Fixed that for ya.

Why would anyone otherwise be in a place of employment? It's definitely not for the "opportunities"...

To be fair, I went to an interview for a resource center that helped kids with learning or physical disabilities. She asked if I had any experience working with the disabled. I said "no." She said "Wait...I thought you said you have an autistic son?" I said "I do." She leaned over and said "That's experience....." Well Duh...(Face palm.)

Both questions are legitimate. And there shouldn't be any shame or blame to answer them honestly.

If you want to be rich, just stop being poor!

Yep, don't trust them

Employers who say no one wants to work don't understand the economics of supply and demand. There are millions of people without jobs out there, as well as lots of people willing to leave their current jobs. Pay more, increase benefits, make your job environment a positive one, and you'll be able to compete for employees. Don't do these things and you won't.

Bills have an unfair advantage.

You don't have to feel bad for the employers. That's okay. But please have a little sympathy for the employEES, who are working on a skeleton crew, doing double work, for slave pay, and getting all kinds of flack from both their bosses, and salty customers, because they're not doing their extra work quickly enough. The employees can't do any hiring or firing, and they have no say in any job advertisements, or misrepresentations therein (or in any repairs or stock orders). They literally have no control. It's not their fault. They're just cogs in a machine, just trying to pay their bills. So hate the employers if you want. That's fair. But PLEASE, be nice to the employees.

“Why do you want to work for us?” Because I enjoy sleeping indoors.

Now THAT'S a polite way to say "fu*k off"

Robert Half is a joke. Right out of accounting classes (back when I was 20) and they wanted to put me in a position that required a CPA.

And you get an interview and you say all the right things, it's the same as your last job and the company ghosts you, and you have no idea why.

It’s not(US), but they’ll call you “unprofessional”.

The problem with this scheme is that it involves working without being paid.

But you only get paid a minimum wage for one and should be grateful for the opportunities to get more experience on a wider basis.

Legitimate question. Legitimate answer.

They couldn't even bother to proofread and correct the whole "interviewwith" thing. Spelling mistakes on social media are fine, spelling mistakes in official company communications are not.

It's clear: you'll have to count polar bears from a North Pole container. You can't leave the container or you'll be eaten. You can't be remote from your remote location.

That's so illegal , I can't imagine any business being that blatantly racist... Unless they are trying to get shut down. No wonder there aren't any other comments. So obviously b.s.trying to get attention?

Like my former tutor manager that, somehow, thought I was waiting by the phone with baited breath for her to call. Sorry! Graduated with a 4.0 and had recommendations up the wazzoo from my professors. And you thought I'd choose a low paying tutoring job over a career that pays decently. Later!

It's called they were looking for someone to put up with the BS of interviews because they were desperate. That's just wrong...

You got potato chips? I have to pay to wear jeans.

The cycle never ends

I had one friend that got asked this in an interview. Her gap was due to taking care of her dying relative. When the interviewer got pushy about it, she stood up and said "a long unhappy personal tragedy that's none of your business" and walked out. Sometimes our downtime is none of your business...stop asking this question.

Come to work riding it. I hope they have elephant parking place with food and water.

Maybe if they didnt waste money on all that and its upkeep theyd be able to pay employees jus 25 cents more even hhhh

Okay, IF I would be unpaid I expect the job to be, at least, astronaut for the upcoming moon mission. Otherwise, just sod it.

Honestly, an "open office" plan made me miss cubicles. Sound-absorbent panels, some visual privacy, places to pin up ideas, my own meeting space... Open office plans are awful compared with cubes.

This is too easy

I wonder what sort of response they were expecting when they put this out

Pizza parties indicates that you aren't going anywhere for lunch... Lunch is MY time. To have a fine smoke in the parking lot. Big smoke, lol.

Employers usually don't admit they're low paying.

Roses are red; Violets are blue; this is the dumbest thing; I've ever had to do

...Can someone explain this to me?
