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?

    Sure. But only if there’s also a registry of all employment denials that includes the reason for denial and whether they bothered to even tell the applicant.

    The registry is to identify people who need extra help with transport or child care so we can target additional resources to help them get hired, right? Right? RIGHT?

    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.

      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.”

        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.”.

      This would make a great website. Match job listings with this type of data. Get all job applicants on there and then set strict criteria for companies to post jobs on there. Enshitify the entire process for the companies and make them beg to have their ads shown.

        Isn’t this what Glassdoor started as? I remember it was a place to look up companies, find out how they tested employees, get interview tips, get salary ranges, etc. Then it got rid of anonymity and sold out and now it’s just propaganda for the companies that it initially meant to review

          the companies on glassdoor started to sue people and threatened the site, thats why its astroturfs and datamines you now in case they get sued again, they can give you thier info. its also the same time indeed removed thier forums, it was “damaging” thier reputations of preying on desperate applicants.

      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.

      Well, that would just be impractical, right??? I mean what purpose could there be in a register of people with the actual weapons, constitutionally-protected or not, that are most often used to murder dozens of people in a single sitting?

      Next you’ll be wanting to use that registry to make sure that certifiable crazy people can’t get a modified semi-automatic rifle and possibly attempt to keep people safe. What use could that bring?!?

    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.

    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?

      I’m going to stop you. For like 5 minutes so you can throw the program in a zip file and share it with me. Thanks

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