Literally paying to work
The fact that I’m wondering if it serious or a joke, is worrisome…
It’s definitely a joke or some sort of weird art statement, the only thing that bothers me is that I once got my decade-old account banned from LinkedIn for posting a job that they decided was discriminatory because it had a language requirement, and yet somehow this has passed their filters?
You say definitely but it could be serious. In China there are people who pay to work, to avoid being « flagged » as unemployed, which apparently is worse than paying for a fake job.
Apply just to not pay and have the position terminated
The successful candidate
They finally found a way to make money off of AI
As always:
Well… it’s not an unpaid internship, we’re just not splitting hairs on who’s getting paid.
Hungary unofficially have pay for internship positions thanks to extremely corrupt HR departments, and internship time mandates from colleges. Basically it ruined my dream of getting a college degree, because at my age especially, it would have cost me a small fortune.
Is shit like this counted when they list the number of open job in the country?
Almost certainly, they’re counting on their “audits” consisting of a script that looks for “$500 per week” in the descriotion to confirm that they’re posting ads.
Knowing how backwards things are here, yeah probably
Yes, that’s the point.

this will be a competitive prompt engineer salary in about two years time.
Join, pay, request chargeback from your card company.
When they dispute it: “The position clearly says unpaid. So I won’t pay.”
Use AI to expand this argument to 10 pages. Bonus points for citing nonexistent court decisions.
Also bonus times for writing those prompts on company time.
Bonus points for citing nonexistent court decisions.
That comes for free with using an LLM to make the argument.
Earn -$500 lol
-24k a year
“But you’re not considering how valuable this experience will be!”
So much to evade that gap in the resume
What gap?
I’ve not been unemployed, I’ve been under a strict NDA for a very private employer. No, I’m not allowed their share their contact information. Sorry.
Hmm yeah don’t do that with any job with decent background checks.
No if you know they’re gonna have to check, then you’ve worked for your cousin Randy at his placeofbusiness doing menialchore related to the industry.
You can confirm this by calling Mr Randolphius McGillecuddy, Esq.
Some background checks will look into your taxes and finances. Cousin Randy needs to be organised and rich.
Do not let this person split up a bill for your restaurant party, folks
(I’m only joking, but I think you did the math the wrong way, $500x12=$6k)
Edit: yep.I’m an idiot, thanks folks, my poor example will stand as a testament to others, don’t shame yourself publicly like this and pay attention in school!
$500 per week - 500x48=24k with 4 weeks of thankfully “unpaid” vacation
United States
4 weeks of vacation
Lol
If the employee “works” every day of the year they earn -$26000
My longest vacation was 3 months.*
* …after I got laid off.
Easy mistake to make. Also words can not describe my admiration and respect for someone who can leave a comment like this up with a humble edit.
I might double check your math if we split the cheque, but unlike 99% of the people on the internet, I already can tell that I would WANT to have a supper with you.
It’s per week.
500 x 4 = 2000/month
2000 x 12 = 24k
By all means i’d love to split restaurant bills with you ;)
There are 52 weeks in a year not 48. 500 x 52 = 26000.
Oh I made the stupid mistake and projected it outwards lol, my bad, I apologize and edited my post
Hey, sorry overworked employees. I posted an ad to fill a position so we have enough wiggle room to let you breathe for once, but no one applied. Well, back to work!
Seriously though… is this shit real?
Apparently this was some sort of job posting “experiment” from a couple of years ago.
Amateurs. Just call the weekly fee tuition, the position a research assistant, and the company a university and they are all set.
Just change your company name to be [actual company name] dba AI Prompt Engineer College, call this a class, done.
