Like seriously, time is money right? I’m sure most people can relate to wasting time on numerous applications before ever landing a job. If they set that into law, employers will probably be much less likely to reject applicants, and even when they do, you still get paid for your wasted time.
Edit: I’m not particularly referring to the application part alone, I’m referring to application + interview = rejection. People should get paid for someone calling you in, only to end up wasting your time. Hell, I could have spent that time better at the sperm bank.
Right, because “if you don’t get a job, you get to live in a cardboard box under a bridge” isn’t duress at all.
I’m not saying I’m for OP’s plan. I’m still thinking it through. But there’s nothing “voluntary” about working for a paycheck, or about applying to do so.
Right… we aren’t free. Much like the past, and perhaps even in the future. You cannot get hung up on something that is out of your control. We may live and die 10,000 more times before humanity can know true peace.
The best we got right now is “maybe you to could exploit the working class if you grind hard enough”.
Sad as fuck considering our level of technological development. Gatekeeping necessities from people to drive them to do what you want. The extra steps to feudalism is not doing it for me.
That’s what unemployment is for. :) It’s not on the business to pay applicants.
The last time I had unemployment, it was a lousy $64 per week, and only for 3 months no less. Unemployment is a joke.
Depends on your income before you were unemployed… My wife is drawing it right now and it’s something like $450 a week for her.
I was working for 6 days a week, 6 hours a day, for $10 per hour, for over 2 years. Yes, $10 an hour sounds like chump change these days, but this was back in like 2007.
Still…
