And everyone thought registries were only for sex offenders. If it works to punish them then why not on those who don't want to work?

Can we get a registry of people who have wealth in excess of a million dollars?

[–] iopq@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Literally anyone who contributed to a retirement account for a while?

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 10 points 9 hours ago

To be fair if you own a 800 square foot condo that you bought 25-30 years ago for less than 100k in a city you most likely have a million dollars of wealth…

Jesus. Fuck Ohio. What about a registry of companies found guilty of wage theft?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 3 hours ago

or companies that are doing ghost listings, and the ones that are pretending to list but actually had someone else they internally hired/nepotism and only put the list as a way to say we tried.

[–] only_in_ohio@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 hours ago

Agreed but please don’t fuck Ohio; we have more than just those jerks to offer

Small government Republicans, eh?

[–] pdxfed@lemmy.world 217 points 16 hours ago (5 children)

Does the bill create a registry of employers who come to interviews they schedule unprepared?

Does the bill create a registry of employers who have jobs listed that they aren't actively hiring for wasting applicants time?

Does the bill create a requirement to post the hiring wage range so as not to waste everyone's time?

Unilateralism is fascism.

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 13 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

How about interviewers who ghost applicants? I have literally been sat in an office for an hour and a half, with nobody telling me what's going on before I got told "oh that interviewer isn't in today, I'm not sure why he scheduled you."

[–] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 7 hours ago

I had one that "got pulled into a meeting". Um, she had a meeting, with me!

I was eventually offered the job two or three weeks later, which I declined. In that time I had accepted a position with a company that had their shit together. This one had the nerve to ask "When were you going to tell us?" after ghosting me for weeks! I said, "I just did.".

Wouldn't this be super exploitable? What's to stop me from setting up a bot that auto-applies to tons of jobs on behalf of people I don't like, thus making them "skip" whatever interviews come out of that?

[–] Aaron@lemmy.nz 29 points 11 hours ago

Amazing how many Ohio state reps are looking for work right now, but not showing up to any interviews..

Uppity slave register, United States of America, 2025.

[–] Fondots@lemmy.world 19 points 13 hours ago (13 children)

Only very tangentially related to this

I work in 911 dispatch. Part of our hiring process is after the initial interview and aptitude test, they have applicants come in to do a job shadow with us for an hour or two. Basically just sit with us while we're answering and dispatching calls, see what the work we do is actually like, gives them a chance ask us questions, and we can kind of feel them out to see if they'd be a good fit.

And a shocking amount of people make it to that stage and then don't show up for their job shadow.

I'm admittedly biased, since I work here, but I feel like even if I didn't actually have any interest in the job, that would be an interesting peek behind the curtain that I'd still want to see regardless.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

possible they found another job, which happens all the time, and some Do cherry pick, maybe i choose this job, but i will just wait for the other jobs interview or something else comes up. or they chose and apply to this job as a backup until one comes up with a better offer.

[–] Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

You should test calling it an interview and not giving details. See if it changes the ghosting percent. My guess is that for most people, a job at 911 is a last resort. Many have heard how tough it is emotionally. So they probably got another offer by then and just took it.

[–] Fondots@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

A lot of things vary from one agency to another, but where I work I don't think most people would consider this a last resort job. Most of us are here either because this is what we want to do or because it's a good career builder towards other public safety/law enforcement type jobs.

For my part, if I have to work, I think this is about as good as it gets for me. I like the hours, the pay isn't amazing but it's livable, benefits are solid, and it's interesting and satisfying work.

It's also not the quickest hiring process since they usually wait until they have a few people to run a training class, it's been a few years now but I believe I did my aptitude test and interview in mid August (same day because they were doing a hiring event, sometimes they have to get scheduled separately) did my job shadow a week or two later with another short interview, got my conditional offer around mid September, had to do a drug, hearing, and vision test and a psych eval, and class started in about mid-late October, so about 2 months start to finish.

I have a friend who tested at the same time as me and got picked up for the next class they ran, so it was a couple extra months for him.

And some other agencies have extra steps in the process. More rounds of interviews, really in-depth background checks with interviews with the sheriff and a polygraph test and such (thankfully the agency I work for isn't like that since polygraphs are bullshit)

No not ideal for someone who really needs a job ASAP.

Funny kind of law to make when the US jobs report for the last month is less than that of Canada's jobs report by ~10,000 jobs.

Don't wanna make a registry of gun owners though.

first of all, unemployment benefits should not be tied to you showing up to a job interview because usually it follows that if offered the job you must accept if you can. so, you basically have no agency and have to take whatever shit job offered. if i get a red flag or otherwise don’t to commit to an interview i do not owe the company or its workers my notice. i will make the effort if i choose to but me being a dick shouldn’t make me lose my benefits.

anyway, fuck this registry.
