      Any company convicted of posting a ghost job should be required to pay a year’s compensation to every individual who applied to the job.

      There should be a well funded team of investigators and a tip line. Rewards for ratting out management.

      It’s the exact opposite they are doing it because they get tax write-offs for being able to say they have openings they can’t fill

        I’m going to need you to explain how that works. There are almost no expenses accrued by deliberately not filling a position. So what exactly is the company supposed to write off?

          We need a platform wide sidebar wiki on how tax write offs work. I don’t know why it’s such a problem on Lemmy understanding the concept.

        That’s not really how that works, the point of fake postings is usually to hire foreign workers by saying they can’t fill it locally.
