It's the exact opposite they are doing it because they get tax write-offs for being able to say they have openings they can't fill
I'm going to need you to explain how that works. There are almost no expenses accrued by deliberately not filling a position. So what exactly is the company supposed to write off?
We need a platform wide sidebar wiki on how tax write offs work. I don’t know why it’s such a problem on Lemmy understanding the concept.
So they get richer by posting jobs that don't exist?
That's not really how that works, the point of fake postings is usually to hire foreign workers by saying they can't fill it locally.
