PMWeb Deceptive, False Job Ad on Craigslist Woburn Massachusetts

That company placed an ad on Craigslist for a Tech Support opening at their software company. They are a complete fraud. I found that they had someone write another ad for that same role on Craigslist and thought I should report them.

They are a company that is not really in the business of making software. They wrote this ad to deceive someone and perhaps do to that candidate what they did to me. They use a very low starting wage that they promise to increase soon after without ever following through. But the fact is they openly say that they target people that are at a financial disadvantage or are "hungry enough" that they'd tolerate abuse and low pay.

The pay isn't the only evil they do. The support organization where they bring staff is one where they do not have any management and where they do not feel obligated to have job assignments for the staff. Anyone coming into that company, particularly the Tech Support organization would destroy their career. The probability that this is a bait and switch where they'd end up in a different role is very high. They did this to me. They put me in a QA role only a few weeks after I started.

The company does several things to say that they are a swindling operation. It was founded by a reseller who at one point had off-shore engineers patch together the lowest quality software product in a hodgepodge manner that since they have been using to swindle clients. They refuse to listen to customer or fix bugs.

That company is starting a new trend in corporate America. They waste human resources, use coercion to force employees to do evil instead of getting their work done and think that if they have them by the belly, employees will tolerate this. They deliberately keep the number of staff at the Woburn office low to get around employment laws. I think that this employer is testing the limits of the conditions they create for staff and are starting a bad trend in the corporate world. The was a lot of prominence given to "food". A tyrant boss created an eccentric millionaire mystique for himself and lords it over staff when in town with free meals. Staff once gestured at me that their mouth was too full to greet me in the morning. They were earning the right to fill their through more than I was. There were comments about being able to make people that are "hungry enough" tolerate anything. One of the staff members had come off of "SNAP" vouchers. That company rounds up people that are "displaced" or that they say are "not good enough to be anywhere else", to have leverage on them. If more employers follow that direction, we will be in a new America: one where workers must give up all their rights to fill their belly.

Here is a link to their ad. Any candidate would report to someone who doesn't even have the level of intelligence to write that description. Candidates are being deceived.
