Other than the crazy horoscope stuff, a job wanting you to sign an NDA and a Non-Compete likely know they are a shitty place to work and won’t to keep you there so you can’t go somewhere else and also not able to tell anyone how shitty it is. They probably already know Non-Competes in California have been unenforceable for a long time but they don’t want you to know that.
Didn’t the Feds just recently make non competes unenforceable?
Yes but in California they have been unenforceable for almost everyone for many years.
The top one deserves to be highlighted as well.
What if you worked 20 years for the same employer before that?
The bottom part too, considering all this stupid shit is for a part-time position.
I just realized how much worse it actually is. A part-time job that requires you to sign a Non-Compete Agreement.
OMG you’re right - the fact that this is a lot of for a part time job wasn’t lost on me, but a NON-COMPETE for a part-time job?? Like WTF else are you supposed to do?
Delusional??
My sister ran into that - got let go from her first job, which she had worked at for 10 years. She just provides references from that job, and no one brought it up.
I did a lot of job applying recently. Many employers were never considered after I was made aware of how their application process worked. It got to the point where if they made me fill out a form of info that was already on my resume, I wouldn’t apply.
If it takes 10 steps to even get some AI bullshit to read my resume, imagine the nightmare working for the company.
I was hired at company that had an easy application process, interviewed me in-person the next day, and I was offered the job 3 days later (2 were the weekend). Even though the job offered less pay than I value myself at, I knew it was a company worth working for.
I was just talking with my mom about this and had no idea… is AI really taking over the job application process? It was hard enough going through it when there were actual humans evaluating you, somehow this sounds way worse though
Sadly this has been used for longer than you might expect. Using the term AI to describe the practice is fairly new, but computers have been selecting resumes for humans to look at for many years. They may have called it “screening” or using an “algorithm” -made more complex with the wide adoption of LLMs and other types of AI tools.
You can find stories of colleges and companies getting in trouble for unintentionally racist algorithms from, at least, a decade ago. That would indicate that they have been in use for longer than that, potentially since the early 00s.
The fun thing about bs hiring practices like astrology is how it’s bs and can be used as cover for discrimination.
“Sorry, it’s not that you’re brown…it’s that you’re a Pisces…”
aren’t noncompete agreements illegal in California now?
The funny thing about the way the law works is that it’s only illegal if you get caught.
Price we pay for a justice system with a presumption of innocence
I wonder if you could apply to this job; interview; get the job; sign the NDA; then sue the company for making you sign an NDA and quit.
They review you based on a fucking horoscope?
Horoscopes have a higher chance of getting me a job than those stupid ass “personality tests” though
whatever triple scorpio
that sounds like a fighting game combo
“Part-time”
Jfc
I would never apply for a job wanting to ask for something so ridiculous like my horoscope.
But then, as a Pisces, I’m naturally skeptical.
Fuck that. Get a job through your friends and family.
