LinkedinLunatics

I mean... that's exactly what's happening right now for us. Those fucking idiots at HR don't want to pay higher salary, so we get people with mediocre talents, and the odd amazing person who will soon grow dissatisfied once they realise what they are actually worth, and how much they're getting shafted. The whole model is built on deceiving good people long enough to use them. Because in their head, people are all interchangeable. They absolutely do not understand the benefits of continuity, and the impact of turnover. It's just so fucking exhausting to be faced with such stupidity.

Why are these shallow, vapid, stupid, pretend-smart pieces of shit in front of companies? Like, how the fuck have we built a society in which these idiots are successful? Holly fuck.

Ugh why do they talk that

It's silly

You look stupid

Stop it.

This one even has the cadence of someone revealing one of their pithy little epiphanies, but the text is a braindead nothingburger.

...yes?

That's exactly why we want them...?

What does he think will happen here?

If you trick the person making $135k through a few interviews, they won't change their mind and take the lower paying position.

You still end up hiring the $75k person, but with extra costs, overhead, and waste of time.

that's literally pushing wages down. fuck the free market let's rig it for myself to profit.

this is straight up quiet part out loud stuff.

I interviewed for a lab position, everything was going great, and then this fuckwad from HR said starting was $18ph for a job with a required BS and multiple years of experience.

GL with that one, LMAO.

Made me understand why the reviews for the company from customers were so negative though.

"We're trying to trick you into giving us more value than we pay for.". What a genius...

He's so close to a realization...

...yes, that's the point....

Right exactly, if you want someone already making $135k then you should offer $135k or more.

Requiring salaries was passed as a pro-labor move. We know it increases wages over time. That's the point.

LinkedIn is like some cursed realm where YT hustle culture grew like mold.

Won't somebody think of the low balling companies!

How to say “I’d pay you less if I could” without saying it. What that clown doesn’t realize, is this post he made just cause a fuckton of people to pass on his shit.

It's almost like if you want talented people, you need to pay more for 'em. Weird.

If you wanted someone making 135k to come work for you, then you should probably pay at least 140k.

Greed. The answer is always fucking greed.

While we're at it lets rip out price tags in stores. People should learn prices at the till or they will never try Dijon Ketchup with Champagne Mayo...

Typical used car salesman approach for entrapment. He doesn't give 2 shits about the fact that person who is looming for $135k+ job just wasted sh#t ton of time on company that is a poor fit AND company wasted it's own resources interviewing that person. I'd be firing that n'fluencer guy right this moment.

So you waste your time interviewing the 135k guy and he obviously rejects your shitty offer?

Fuck you, pay me

so you rather waste all the time going through all the interview process for them to reject your offer during salary negotiation phase, and then after enough times they just stopped applying to jobs without a salary range and you are back to your shitty limited pool

It's almost as though you're not supposed to get that person because you're not fucking paying enough for their talent… 🤔

"If people knew I was going to underpay them, they wouldn't apply for a job!" 🤡

Almost realized their problem is expecting higher talent at lowballed prices.

If you want the 135k guy then offer to pay 135k idiot.

So, he wants to hire a person who is valued at 135k for 90-110k.

So instead you are going to spend how many hours interviewing people who will just turn down the lowball offer?

This guy later:

Nine people ghosted me after I offered them a job. People just don’t want to work anymore.

So basically a ghost job. You're not going to get the people you want and instead the position remains open.

But you can sit there and tell shareholders that you're hiring and they'll be excited as that makes it sound like the company is doing great.

The person making $135k probably keeps scrolling.

This is nonsense from the very beginning. Of course they'll keep scrolling, would you accept more than 30% pay cut when you already have a job? I wouldn't, for pretty much any position. Even if you're being selfish and choosy, you want to filter them out so it doesn't waste your time.

So close to being self-aware.

Because its not the low-ball wages that are the problem, it's being honest about them that's the problem /s

All you're gonna do by being dishonest like this is waste people's time and make them avoid you in the future.

That's too many words to say "I'm a piece of shit".
