When the job becomes available, you won’t get the call because your resume will be put in the ‘do not call’ pile.

Buddy, if you think for one second that any job candidate worth the paper their resume is written on is going to take a job from a place pulling the shenanigans you are, that would explain why you’re “struggling to make it” in this capitalist society. Your job listing went into the “don’t bother interviewing” pile months before you even pulled that resume out of the pile. Of course you’re going to start needing employees in a pinch when your hiring pool is only the most desperate suckers out there lol.

It’s more so that the constant supply of people who want to work for us have a system they can follow to have a chance to get hired. We hire about 1 out of every few hundred applicants. We hired two people in the last three years and accepted hundreds of emailed resumes.

The resumes come in regardless of the sign on the door because of the high demand, hanging the sign on the door directs people to email it rather than submit a paper copy.

It also directs people to talk directly with the staff so that they can understand that it’s very unlikely we will be calling them anytime soon.

When someone has to quit, it is usually because of extenuating circumstances, someone dying or some other major life event, so we want to be prepared to not ask the employee to have to work out the two weeks notice that they always want to offer. It’s nice to say, “thanks for your hours over the years, take your last two weeks as paid vacation, we have someone ready to replace you”

This happens maybe once per year and we haven’t fired someone in maybe 5 years.

You and the rest of the people I am talking with here have no idea how a good business operates and only want to assume the worst. I agree that capitalism = bad, but there is some nuance that should be understood before shouting your uninformed opinions from the rooftops.

You can try and justify this nonsense all you want but the fact is we do know how a good business operates because they don’t operate the way yours does, and that’s reflected in your self pity about how hard it is for your business to compete in the market without resorting to awful behavior. All those Good businesses out there that you find it so hard to compete with are doing so well at making it hard for you because they aren’t playing games like this. A good business can put a job posting in and get a qualified applicant in short order.

So instead you come to Lemmy and cry about what a struggle it is as a poor victimized small business just trying to compete in the big scary world of capitalism, while waving a huge red flag with “We’re not worth working for” over your head at all times. You’d think the way you’re being publicly annihilated would be enough to trigger some introspection but I guess not

I haven’t applied for a job in over a decade as the best companies will come to me, but if I happened across your job listing and it interested me enough to apply, only to find out it’s a ghost job, you’re immediately blacklisted and there’s literally no amount of money you could pay me to even hop on an interview call with you.
