Last Day At Work


Jobs, where are they? For years now I have been contending that most of the good jobs you see posted online and in newspapers are bogus. Why you ask would a company or governmental agency go through the trouble of posting a job it has no intention of giving you? I'll tell you, these jobs are usually spoken for. Most of the time the job has already been promised to someone. A cousin, Bob from accounting, the next door neighbors son from back in the old country. Whatever, it doesn't matter. You are only looking at the posting because some law or internal corporate doctrine demands new positions be publicized.


So how do I know this? From years of being the schmuck you responds to these ghost jobs. I have also talked to people who worked in companies who confirmed this scam. Now for the first time ever you can see proof. My buddy Aaron who worked at an immigration firm showed me this. The video is a conference of lawyers in the business, hear them describe how to legally place job ads in papers they have no intention whatsoever of filling. The jobs have already been given to foreign workers. This is how they skirt visa laws that require jobs to have been offered locally first.


Beware as you might fly off the handle after watching this like I did.

Welcome to 21st century USA! Does not surprise me in the least. At least it explains why no one I work with speaks English, but all the homeless do.....

It is sad that the average american has to compete in a job market that is
rigged against them.

Vlad's response:
this clip is for everyone who has ever sent a job application into that black hole of internet resumes. People are furious. I am getting a lot of e-mails after sending this one out. It's an outrage.

I should know. I almost had to relocate to Miami for a job that paid far less than what i was getting up here.

Merrill Lynch hires many many many Indian contractors. I have met some that were hardly qualified to program at a beginner's level but someone got the visa status indicating that they are experts. I think it is an H1 visa?

Now Merrill opened a company in Bombay and hired all the people over there. As a manager, I am forced into working with these guys. If you factor the poor quality of work, the large time zone difference, and the communication barriers that go along with it, the company doesnt save all that much and possibly loses money because we are busy fixing what they do.

Vlad - the tragedy of this is that
it is endorsed by the current
administration. I've worked for
20 years for a prime defense contractor here in CT - and for every job they outsource overseas,
they ( the corporation ) get a
tax credit. The Corporations are
encouraged to not hire Americans because it is more profitable to
vend out the work overseas. And to
think the Pentagon has no problem
with this because "cheap is good"
is the mentality today. My mom,
who is still around as a consultant in the financial district noticed the same thing...
all the jobs are accounted for -
and unless you are a foreigner who
is willing to work for nothing -
you hve no hope what so ever. Say
goodbye to any pensions / 401k /
SSI / Medicare / aid becuase the
"current administration" states
that getting rid of all of this is
"good for the economey". A couple
of years back there was a million
worker march on washington dc. It
was not really made public and
when it was - it was made out to
sound like a communist ralley.
Well, guess what - this ex-right
winger who is now as left as they
get knows better now - and I am
hopefull that the rest of the
workers wake up in this country
before it's too late.

This is what happens when the only thing you care about is the price of your stock. What really gets me is how this panel of vultures sit their and spew their crap about screwing fellow Americans without a care in the world. I wish the whole building caught fire and they burnt to death.
