Man, who picks this fucking job up? Some rich cunt that needs an outlet?
Insulting to the general population really
Sounds illegal.
Everytime I hear about the need to pay to do a job, my mind immediately jumps to pyramid scheme.
If you need to pay for something, it is a huge red flag.
Does whatever country this is posted from not have a minimum wage? Screenshot says USA, I thought they did have one?
Yes, but since volunteering is a thing, they may think they’re in the clear. Doubt they are though.
They finally found a way to make money off of AI
As always:
Cross posting this to shitty million dollar ideas. This is the kind of out of the box thinking that we need to increase corporate profits and pump up those numbers. You are a real go getter here. good job.
Literally paying to work
The successful candidate
The fact that I’m wondering if it serious or a joke, is worrisome…
It’s definitely a joke or some sort of weird art statement, the only thing that bothers me is that I once got my decade-old account banned from LinkedIn for posting a job that they decided was discriminatory because it had a language requirement, and yet somehow this has passed their filters?
You say definitely but it could be serious. In China there are people who pay to work, to avoid being « flagged » as unemployed, which apparently is worse than paying for a fake job.
Is shit like this counted when they list the number of open job in the country?
Yes, that’s the point.
Almost certainly, they’re counting on their “audits” consisting of a script that looks for “$500 per week” in the descriotion to confirm that they’re posting ads.
Knowing how backwards things are here, yeah probably
big brain move
Besides the obvious tipoff, is there some sort of fraudulent or tax reason why they would make the employee pay for it?
Maybe so you can hire people from overseas?
Join, pay, request chargeback from your card company.
When they dispute it: “The position clearly says unpaid. So I won’t pay.”
Use AI to expand this argument to 10 pages. Bonus points for citing nonexistent court decisions.

That comes for free with using an LLM to make the argument.
Also bonus times for writing those prompts on company time.
Well… it’s not an unpaid internship, we’re just not splitting hairs on who’s getting paid.
Hungary unofficially have pay for internship positions thanks to extremely corrupt HR departments, and internship time mandates from colleges. Basically it ruined my dream of getting a college degree, because at my age especially, it would have cost me a small fortune.
Dream job for the employer, that is.
Apply just to not pay and have the position terminated
Is this…
Violence?
Unless there’s actual hidden value here (possible), it’s more like joke. Chickens rarely cross the road and they’re not getting paid.
No, but it’s something similar. It’s stupid.
