That's capitalism.

It only works when the government backs citizens over companies. Because a public company is required to put profits over everything else.

So there needs to be regulations getting passed to keep blocking whatever new bullshit someone set up.

All it would take would be requiring companies to have a start/end date on applications and only be able to hire from applications received in that window.

It's already how the federal government does hirings. The government gets a lot of shit, but they've got one of the best unions around.

It also doesn't work in a tight labor market. This happened to me, I just laughed and blocked them, because in the 6 months it took them to get around to me I already had a better paying job with a competitor.

So much of the whining that companies are doing these days boils down to assholes who took advantage after the 2008 recession and got used to abusing employees and potential employees as a normal way of doing business.

Now that the market is tighter, and workers have more options, that shit isn't working as well as it used to, and rather than just adjust, or even change their ways, no, it's better to complain that nObOdY wAnTs To WoRk AnYmOrE!
