🚀✨ Oh, the horror of "ghost jobs"—positions as real as unicorns, haunting job boards and tormenting desperate applicants. Should we ban them, or just laugh at the idea of legislating imaginary positions? 👻💼

Support the effort to end ghost jobs:

"Truth in Job Advertising and Accountability Act (TJAAA) is landmark legislation designed to eliminate fake job ads, protect job seekers’ privacy, and restore integrity to the hiring process. It ensures that every public job posting is a genuine opportunity—funded, timely, and traceable—while holding employers, recruiters, and platforms accountable for deceptive practices."

Mal eine Frage an die Community: Hat jemand Erfahrungen mit #GhostJobs gemacht, also mit Stellenausschreibungen hinter denen gar keine Stelle steht?

Gerne Repost.

Apparently #ghostjobs are a thing now. Companies post jobs just to improve company perception, push stock valuations up, and/or pressure current employees to perform more as they are easily replaceable.
