Like seriously, time is money right? I’m sure most people can relate to wasting time on numerous applications before ever landing a job. If they set that into law, employers will probably be much less likely to reject applicants, and even when they do, you still get paid for your wasted time.

Edit: I’m not particularly referring to the application part alone, I’m referring to application + interview = rejection. People should get paid for someone calling you in, only to end up wasting your time. Hell, I could have spent that time better at the sperm bank.

    Yes, true that. I was more specifically refering to the interview part, being a pure waste of time if you’re rejected. And if it was an in-person interview, you’ve not only wasted time, but very likely have burned gas going there and back.

    You know the saying “When you don’t have a job, your only job is to get a job”? Yeah, I think that saying is about a load of horse shit. If looking for a job is considered a job itself, then I feel people should get paid for their wasted time.

    Or, ya know, don’t have a system where someone files 73 job applications only to get basically nowhere.
