    I saw a posting for a mechanical engineer for $10p/h making espresso machines. Heavy lifting ability required. In a decent sized city.

    Bruh, what? Please tell me you just don’t know what a technician is. And, also, kill yourself for offering a rate that insulting for a technician.

    I see this all the time in IT sysadmin and network admin. It legit pisses me off the amount of time it takes to even be remotely competent in these positions and companies are like yeah its entry level and pays 25/hr on call and weekends as needed…when I was actively looking for work I’d submit resumes saying this is a bullshit posting and if someone agrees to running the backbone of your company at that price they are going to fuck it up.

      • Advertise job at 1/3 going rate
      • Get no applicants
      • Use this as justification to hire somebody from a cheaper country on a visa that you control
      • Pay the somebody 1/3 going rate, knowing that they will probably do lots of free overtime because of the chilling effect of a visa

        Practically another form of modern-day slavery.

        Don’t like your job and how much we pay you? Sure you can quit, but then it’s right back on the deported boat for you.

        By the way I am going to need you to put in some weekend overtime. No we can’t pay, but if you want to keep your job…
