A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

I also read an article recently that companies are posting "ghost jobs" where they don't plan to hire anyone at all.

Also the whole, "post a job with impossible requirements, back fill with cheap imported workers/my mate when the position is inevitably unfilled".

Careful, if you talk about how the USA's H1-B visa program is a steaming pile of horseshit designed to allow corporate America to commit fraud and give away 80,000 skilled jobs a year to underpaid imported workers instead of paying market rates to well-qualified US citizens and green card holders, you might get downvoted. Folks here have trouble with balancing their hatred of corporate America with their hatred of the word "citizen" being used unironically.
