Recently a friend applied for a job that she was more than qualified for… but it got back to her that this job was already reserved. It was a remote position, but was reserved for someone they liked from 4 states away. The job ad was just for show.
This happens all the time lately. If you see a job with good pay, forget about it. It is a reward for someone else.
I was hearing about the pay for people at Twitter… 32 million for a company that isn't even profitable.
The job was just a mechanism of funneling money to the “right” people.
And, firing people for no reason, same deal. Jobs have become a bribe. Anyone who doesn't have political power and influence will never get a good paying job.
Why isn't anyone addressing it?
