    Aside from the obvious ghoulishness, will this even remotely work as intended? Cutting the benefits last year barely moved the needle.

      No because the majority of the labour shortage is a scam, companies are still doing the same bullshit 143681967988961 years of experience for entry level bullshit and they refuse to raise pay enough to make a difference. I think I already saw so many posts on social media last year of people applying for 50 jobs and getting maybe 3-4 responses let alone an interview, or random shit like this.

        Currently experiencing that. Makes zero sense, even like "menial" low paying jobs are just ignoring my applications so far as I can tell

          HR (or lack thereof) plays a big role in this.

          People will post jobs and then just kinda forget about them. Or they'll post jobs and get a deluge of applications that don't fit, and just stop looking at the new listings. The whole online job listing process is a mess.

        i've seen a few posts on antiwork that theorize that many of those postings are either PPP loan loop holes (look! we're hiring but no one is taking the job!) or they're fake job listings entirely as a way to harvest and sell data.
