Are there pseudo jobs to deceive and boost percentages?

Think about this one. Is this the new trend or can you find another reason. Could this be possible? It is my suspicion that government is paying large companies to hire people to boost pseudo job creation? From what I am seeing and experiencing from people I know, big companies have hired workers to sit in offices to do nothing while paying them out large salaries. It is money wasted and throws the employee into complete boredom. Sitting at a desk all day is not healthy. You get tired and the minutes drag by in agony. You don't eat properly or get the proper exercise. A person would become mentally drained. I do remember real jobs gaving people the ability to have exercise programs and nutrition programs during lunch, or free time on the job. There was a consideration for the employee.
Employees have all the comforts of home on this job, except the feeling of self-worth and well being. This environment creates a loss of confidence. The interview to get the job is stringent requiring certain levels of education and specific degrees.
Once hired, you see that other employees who don't have
the experience or the degree have the same job title and sit all day long at
their desk without work, but gain an air of superiority on their latest achievement. They don't have the basic knowledge of the job. It just doesn't seem right.
An employee at this point would only bes considered a NUMBER taking up space, and a victim of statistics. After day after day of commuting to the job, the employee will return home becoming lethargic and less motivated. It brings people with skill to share toward the brink of depression. Is it better to pay people to be on UE benefits,or subject them to this kind of a torture. Both do equal harm. You get the same affect from being on UE benefits. If you want to leave and look for a
job that gives you a sense of who you are with the ability to apply your education and knowledge, you are stuck in the mud because you can't show any job performance. This company will hire more people to sit at a desk with the others without any work. When asking when it will pick up, the reply is "we don't know." You never know at what point they will let you go. How do you make up for loss time when you need to say you actually have a job and did something on that job to warrant being hired again. You have a blank on your resume for those dates. You can't fill in any work. Bad situation. For those out there who
might think, be grateful to have a job think again about what is really going on.
If you want a job like this, you have to apply for jobs way over your head. Seems
to be the new trend.
Of course, you have to stay on the job hoping it will change. Doesn't look like it.
Something is going on. Another trap.

"Two of the more significant political developments on Capitol Hill yesterday dealt with a similar subject. In the afternoon, Senate Republicans unveiled a pseudo jobs bill, and a few hours later, Speaker Boehner got into an argument with President Obama over whether GOP officials actually care about creating jobs."

It is actually happening all around us. I don't think the people are seeing the impact yet.

The Government isn't doing one thing to help out the people. Everything looks fake to make them look good. Somebody wants this office of Presidency pretty bad. I belive that they think the people can be fooled if they throw some made up job their way that has no longevity. I'm seeing this happening. I kept questioning myself as to why a company would pay huge money with no work to offer. Of course, these are giant corporation.
4 months ago: sunny2,

Fake jobs for our fake economy will justify fake vote counts in November.

We all must prepare for four more years of sanctimonious tyranny.

I didn't see any links until Truth told me about it. I wrote solely on my own awareness saying it as it is. So I didn't have a link to refer to. After reading the link, I was surprised to see I was on target. You wonder what rabbit these people will pull out of the hat at this point to try to fool the people into believing statistics, and that all is well. They must think we have our heads buried in the sand. That's a laugh.
4 months ago: From what you have seen? While not exposing those that you have seen doing this dirty deed? Really... I once saw a sun spot... take my (ehemmm) word...

Post your dirty links that backup your phantom claim.

There is a $2-$3 trillion backlog of infrastructure projects that need to be done. There are also education projects, health care aid to the states etc. If Obama had any money to lavish on any projects he would have done it because that makes him look good, not fake jobs doing nothing.

The fake jobs might have been leftovers from Bush that burrowed into the bureaucracy. They actually didn't believe in government, and stuck moles in important positions to screw up the government so it didn't work. They hired regulators who didn't regulate, and safety inspectors that didn't inspect because they didn't believe in regulation. That is why we ended up with the BP gulf disaster and the Massey Coal mine disaster. Most of those guys weren't fired when Obama got in.

Government positions have been slashed across the board and private businesses have laid off people long ago. Most of them are concentrating on "productivity" which means getting one guy to do the jobs that two used to do;

I would also like to see some evidence that there are people sitting at desks with nothing to do.

How can a company pay extreme high wages to people and make them sit all day long with not one shred of work and then hire more people.
This is a giant Corporation.

4 months ago: Sorry about the evidence thing, Al, but when I have something to say everyone seems to jump on me. I worked many, many years to know the difference. I've been through a lot of hell on jobs as well as having good jobs.
My suspicions always pan out.

This is what happened in my small town yesterday. http://www.thejewishweek.com/news/breaki...
Our entire northeast coast is being threatened by terrorist. We have a lot of important matters to think about.

There is more than one way to donate more than the legally allowable contribution to a President who will scratch your back just right if re-elected.

4 months ago: Box only the very large companies can do this. We are back to corporations making or breaking us as a society. The control is back with them. What happens to the other people who will never have a chance at being hired. There are more than 800 positions that are needed. We have millions out of work. How many jobs are actually going to be for the seniors that make up most of the long-term unemployed or the youth in poverty stricken areas.? What are their chances? It is nice collecting a great big salary but what I was saying is that we won't gain anything personally if people aren't utilized. Most of these jobs are only contract jobs and every one or two years you are looking for another position with nothing to show that you actually did. When you have experience and you are an individual, something is lost in the translation. We will become all the same. That is my point. Tax credits are needed, but it can cause other problems. That's all I am saying.

To continue our little sleepwalk dance of consumerism and perceived security, we will have to be dependent on the corporations. To live real lives, we will not.

4 months ago: Not all people depend on large Corporations. Some people hate it. It is only an existence to get a paycheck. Then there are others who actually want to earn their money and learn and go out and do much better than being just a number. These are the people who make the difference and who have talents and actually achieve and fulfill their dreams. We aren't all cut from the same cloth. You can waste an entire lifetime behind a desk pushing a pencil and never use your talents. What I told you is something I am witnessing. We have to exist and survive so we don't have too much say. If we are smart we can use it as leverage and to our advantage if they can get the company to give them work so they can up move and forward. Who wants to just exist. We aren't made to sit on our backsides without a purpose. I suspect anything at this point. Lies, lies and more lies comes out of Washington. Who knows what is going to exist 20 years down the road if people become no more than robots. That's my point. That's not exactly a sleepwalk or dance.

I could never in a million years think that way. If you have to start over again, you do it. How you think makes you succeed.
People have to recognize when it is time to grow and move on. Most get comfortable in a job and time passes with nothing gained. If you are in a job that gives nothing bacj to you, and there are a lot of jobs like that, they are a waste of time and life. It is dull and boring for people who can't budge in life and complain about it.

4 months ago: What I was saying is this:

Working for a corporation, in any position, is solely to facilitate making money for the corporation.
The fact that you get paid to do it is anecdotal. You are going to get paid just enough to keep you coming back, and as soon as they can figure out a way to get the same job done cheaper, out you go.

Don't get me wrong. I on occasion work for corporations too, and my job, while in their employ, is to facilitate them being able to make money, either directly or indirectly from my services. But at least my skill set allows me the freedom to pick and choose where I go, what I do, and to walk away from any situation that I find untenable.

4 months ago: Box that is an achievement in itself.
My father worked up until he died every single day so did my grampa.
My dad had his own business. and when he had to, he went out to work for someone else. He mostly made his own money and was independent like a lot of the people on this site.
I regret working for corporate. If I had it to do all over again, I would of chosen another field. You never have security in corporate. They clean house and get rid of high salary people. Everyone is replaceable. No security there.
