John Carlsen 🇺🇸🇳🇱🇪🇺Lately I've been getting messages from people seeking to fill positions, starting with a job title, location, and request for my resume.I ask for details including pay range (which California law has required disclosure of for >2 years already). Yesterday, as typical, I got details but had to ask again for pay info.The person wanted to be a middleman, offering basically entry level pay or about half of what the role's fair market value.These crummy recruiters seem to be almost exclusively Indian, in or from India. (I don't want to seem racist, but the correlation seems pretty clear.)They work through agencies whose names are becoming familiar to me. (I'd love for LinkedIn to allow me to block messages from anyone associated with particular company names.)Workers beware.<a href="https://sfba.social/tags/JobSearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JobSearch</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/JobShop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JobShop</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/WorkerExploitation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WorkerExploitation</a>

Because they are tired barely scraping by, slaving their asses off on a 40 hour job and the best they can afford is rent and MAYBE just MAYBE healthcare.Imagine the dystopia: working class people are going to see their co-workers much more than their own children.I have been <a href="https://corteximplant.com/tags/unemployed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#unemployed</a> since June this year and my work schedule has extended to 7 days a week instead.

John Carlsen 🇺🇸🇳🇱🇪🇺Today I got a call from someone claiming to be a "recruiter" trying to source a worker for an "urgent" need at Intel in Santa Clara for a contract position, potentially until to the end of 2025.The description of the skills they sought seemed a good match, so I asked how much it would pay. It was $74-78/hour (on W-2). Especially for the described skills set, I'd expect it to pay about four times as much.After I quickly declined, the caller asked how much I was seeking. I said only "market rate" and that that was "not even close". I'm not into providing free market research, especially after such an insult.The caller's accent was thick, so only after the call I was able to clarify the name of the company as Akraya Inc. by searching the ID that appeared on my phone (408-907-6413).Stay away.<a href="https://sfba.social/tags/BadRecruiter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BadRecruiter</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/WorkerExploitation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WorkerExploitation</a>
