And then in the end tell all of them the position has been filled, leaving you with all the cash

It's not a bribe if you do paperwork.

(Joking, but not really. It's impressive how much shit you can get away with if you file the paperwork.)

[–] joyjoy@lemmy.zip 26 points 4 months ago

It's not a bribe, it's a processing fee. You can't go forward with the interview process until you pay it.

So someone who falls for even the most basic of phishing scams is an A player?

Why would a CEO want any of those in their company? Or is it to see a reflection of themselves?

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 43 points 4 months ago

Read the account name in the meme.

[–] Denjin@feddit.uk 1 points 4 months ago

That's not what phishing is

[–] brygphilomena@lemmy.dbzer0.com 41 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Excellent. Now I know who to target with scam and phishing emails.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 10 points 4 months ago

The A players. They are clearly all suckers.

[–] gigastasio@sh.itjust.works 26 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I’ll Venmo him $1500 and beat out all these other chumps! They’ll see who the real A player is!

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 23 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That's a S player and overqualified. Not recommend for hiring.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Happy to keep the resume on file in case we need a quick $1500 again though

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 7 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Somebody who thinks about instructions and improves them? Nah, you definitely won't get the job.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 23 points 4 months ago (1 children)

If they do it on the spot...

...then they are either gullible, desperate, or bad with money.

If anything I would think those would be indicators you wouldn't want to have that person employed.

It would also be the opposite indicator of high agency. Someone of high agency would know they are their own person with their own power to affect change and wouldn't simply hand over $500 for no reason.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 21 points 4 months ago (1 children)

There is some irony in calling the A Players gullible in a tweet by "inhuman resources"

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

This community isn't usually for satire accounts, so I guess I ate the onion on that one.

[–] 0_o7@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 4 months ago

"Inhuman Resources" haha

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 8 points 4 months ago

$500? Those are rooky numbers in this racket.

I love their avatar being Toby Flenderson hahaha

                                     EXECUTIVE  
                              (tentative)  
                         Well, Will, I'm not exactly sure 
                         what you mean, we've already offered 
                         you a position..  

               Cut to reveal: Chuckie sitting across from the executives, 
               hair combed down, wearing his Sunday best.  

                                     CHUCKIE  
                         Since this is obviously not my first 
                         time in such altercations, let me 
                         say this:  

               Chuckie rubs the tips of his fingers together, indicating 
               "cash." The executives are baffled.  

                                     CHUCKIE  
                         Look, we can do this the easy way or 
                         the hard way.  

               The executives are completely blank.  

                                     CHUCKIE  
                         At the current time I am looking at 
                         a number of different fields from 
                         which to disseminate which offer is 
                         most pursuant aid to my benefit.  
                              (a beat)  
                         What do you want? What do I want? 
                         What does anybody want? Leniency.  

                                     EXECUTIVE  
                         I'm not sure--  

                                     CHUCKIE  
                         --These circumstances are mitigated.  
                         Right now. They're mitigated.  

               Chuckie puts his hands up, as if getting a vibe from the 
               room.  

                                     EXECUTIVE  
                         Okay...  

               Chuckie points to the third executive.  

                                     CHUCKIE  
                         He knows what I'm talking about.  

               The third executive is baffled.  

                                     CHUCKIE  
                         A retainer. Nobody in this town works 
                         without a retainer. You think you 
                         can find someone who does, you have 
                         my blessin'. But I think we all know 
                         that person isn't going to represent 
                         you as well as I can.  

                                     EXECUTIVE  
                         Will, our offer starts you at eighty-  
                         four thousand a year, plus benefits.  

                                     CHUCKIE  
                         Retainer...  

                                     EXECUTIVE  
                         You want us to give you cash right 
                         now?  

                                     CHUCKIE  
                         Allegedly, what I am saying is your 
                         situation will be concurrently 
                         improved if I had two hundred sheets 
                         in my pocket right now.  

               The executives exchange looks and go for their wallets.  

                                     EXECUTIVE  
                         I don't think I... Larry?  

                                     EXECUTIVE  
                         I have about seventy-three...  

                                     EXECUTIVE  
                         Will you take a check?  

                                     CHUCKIE  
                         Come now... what do you think I am, 
                         a juvenile? You don't got any money 
                         on you right now. You think I'm gonna 
                         take a check?  

                                     EXECUTIVE  
                         It's fine, John, I can cover the 
                         rest.  

                                     CHUCKIE  
                         That's right, you know.  
                              (turns to #1)  
                         He knows.  

               Chuckie stands up and takes the money.  

                                     CHUCKIE  
                              (to exec #1)  
                         You're suspect. I don't know what 
                         your reputation is, but after the 
                         shit you tried to pull today, you 
                         can bet I'll be looking into it. Any 
                         conversations you want to have with 
                         me heretofore, you can have with my 
                         attorney. Gentlemen, keep your ears 
                         to the grindstone.
