    The problem is that they’re wasting the unemployed and jobseekers time and money, and depriving them of employment opportunities they actually want — sometimes dozens of hours, and hundreds of dollars per person.

    Let’s not act like false advertising of job offers is anything but a crime that exploits the most economically vulnerable people… mkay

      Actually, I don’t know if you’ve done hiring before but to get to an interview the company has already spent a decent chunk of change on vetting and review. Refusing an offer at the last minute definitely sucks for the employer.

        Yeah, definitely.

        Had a low-balled offer once, and since I didn’t have an other offer, I signed. It was still better then the wage I had at the time.

        But I kept searching, and finally found a company that did pay me what I wanted.

        So when it was about time for me to go work at the new job, I said I quit. They were waiting on me for 10 weeks. Felt really good.

        Told them the reason was the wage, if they didn’t try to pay me less then what I was asking, I wouldn’t have been searching in the first place.

        They only have themselves to blame.
