You don't want to work for that company even if they offer $250k. Ummm 250k? Probably be a fool to turn down that. Only a fool would work for companies like Boeing who doesn't care about American workers. |
Reality's Byte User ID: 75544661 Australia 03/15/2019 05:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sure, minimum wage, deadend jobs galore....make a few bucks an hour, then the govt takes half hour damn paycheck so taxpayers keep paying to bomb kids in Yemen. ...then after paying for your car , insurance , and gas to get you to your shit job, you're already broke...now you get why millions are homeless in America? A college education means little these days, either. You'll have to work four jobs just to pay back student loans to the gov't. ...it's all a scam...too bad dumb Americans don't get it....spend your first 65 years working, then retire a few years and croak. ...once again, the govt gets to keep the thousands they took from your paycheck over the last forty years. People should be outraged at this scam, but instead they keep accepting this bullshit. Quoting: Halfbreedgal 70897365 And what you describe aint just in the US... |

ICE was assigned to do ten times more inspections of paperwork of employees this year than last. It was found that about 1/5 of his employees had suspect papers and he had to let them go and replace them. He has several restaurants and is hiring like mad since he suddenly had dozens of openings. Just another tale from the big city, But ICE is ON it now. GOOD!!! |

Get 3 or 4 more jobs just like it and you aren't doing too badly for a young person. Don't like one .. quit. There are millions out there ... you're clueless. You can't do that when each one will be expecting rotating and varying schedules not to mention on call. You boomers are so out of touch. |

There are jobs, if you want it. Nobody wants to hire you unless you are already employed. Thinking you're too good to work at McDonald's is the reason you don't have a job. Go get that McDonald's job. Then once hired look for work somewhere else. You're more likely to get a higher paying Job coming from McDonald's than from your mom's basement. Don't be an unemployed loser. |

That's what that says. Imagine if you saw that job and had all the requirements and certifications or whatever.. and then you read that very last line at the very end of the job posting that they'd prefer a "portuguese" lingual "person". And if you go visit corporate job sites like Lowes, or Home Depot the photo is ALWAYS a black male and a white girl. That is pretty much on EVERY corporate site you go to, oh and of course an asian. Rarely a white male. |

Many job openings even those above minimum wage requiring or preferring bi-lingual in Spanish. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77432868 I've noticed this since a year or two ago. It's ridiculous!

Well taken care of guard dogs are well in place for such contingencies. That stuff's important, like counterfeiting. They just don't care about these types of jobs because they know their offspring will never have to deal with getting a job at these levels. They'll never do anything to help anyone but themselves (and those directly around that allow them to). This is the American Dream. And you're saying exactly that. You just can't do it down here. |
