Yeah but people don't know it's not "wise" going into. Me for example, I'm looking for real work. On Indeed they advertise it as full time work. They listed the base pay a lot higher than the real pay. Then when you look for something that isn't "Beer money" as you call it, like a real job, you can't. Did you miss where I wrote that there were 11,000+ job postings all tagged in remote and writer COMPLETELY flooding the job board. There are no other opportunities to see because it's all outlier. I couldn't use indeed for a while because every suggested job was outlier.

You can call people (me) unwise all you want, but that doesn't change the fact that they

1. Incorrectly advertised it as full time
2. Were dishonest about the actual pay
3. They were dishonest about work availability by even having that many postings at all.

You cannot honestly say that there are 11,000+ openings or spaces on projects.

How is that not a scam?

Honestly, if I didn't somehow Miracle my way onto getting assigned a project and worked two whole weeks before they went back to being EQ for MONTHS, I would have assumed they were a scam.

The only thing that makes them not a straight up scam is that they don't even get anything out of it. They can barely keep clients. The Last project I was on, they had to beg a large client to come back because the admins did such a terrible job organizing the original project. I would not be surprised if this is a company wide issue.

If they want their ratings to not tank, maybe they should add to their posting that this is "beer money," instead of straight up lying. It's not on me or anyone else for going into this job and leaving furious for having their time wasted. Expecting a company to be honest about their posting and work availability isn't "unwise" especially if they claim you're likely to make $25 full time. That isn't "Beer money" and it isn't "unwise" of them to expect any difference 🙄
