Workers, beware!
•
by Peter Green
Interest Inc, general manager of Food Q2 Interest is currently tricking workers to join their company by offering very high wages and immediately cutting those to very low ones after workers have accepted the job offer. This is outrageous! With the new rules, you can't immediately resign and you have to remain 3 full days with your new company. My advice is to do nothing during those 3 days if you have the means to survive. These business practices are unethical and it would be unwise to work for a company that uses them. So if you have enough food to survive for 3 days, just sit those 3 days out and resign the moment you can!
As Party President of the US Green Party, I'm urging our government to take immediate action against these companies. What we need, are honest, real jobs in companies who manage their activities in a sustainable way.
PS: you can use the comments on this page to report other companies who use this practice. Warn your fellow workers!

I just fell into this trick with Food Q2 Interest... my skill is over 7.5, I thought that it was worth a good wage, but I got 2USD.
I just moved yesterday to the US, and that is surely not a good beginning for me XD
I also saw in the human resources market that there are many companies with job offers of 5000/9999 USD... I know that nobody would believe that those wages are for real, but I find all the deal quite dirty.
voted same practice is applied in a q1 grains company. I was hired for 15$ and then my salary was declined to 5 $
that grain company I mentioned was Darq Wheats!
Just look at the first two pages in human resources section, and tell me if it's a bug or simply human nature.
@HKNemo: It's so that players who have no idea what they're doing yet see these massive wages offered and apply there first. It really is dirty and to be honest I did it for a day. As soon as the first couple of pages were filled with those offers I took mine off. It sounds bad, I know, but I have never tricked one of my employees, that's just wrong. They have excellent, stable wages, just ask them.
Well, as I said it's quite obvious that 99999 isn't a realistic wage... but I think that clarity is the way, so I don't agree with these things.Anyway, the others who put high but "realistic" wages (just like 70 USD for 7+ skills) are only tricksters.Anyway, if somebody wants to take the occasion of this article to offer me a real job with a real wage, I'm here. In three days, obviously, 'cause I'm a stupid victim of this awful "system".
http://www.erepublik.com/en/company/crate r-of-diamonds-state-park-178526 I haven't dropped wages once (in fact, I've raised every one of my employee's wages) Plus, I promise that if I hire you, I will not drop your salary in the first 3 days. I'd fire you if I hired you at too high a rate. Also if I do drop your salary after the 3 days, I'd at the very least send you a PM explaining the situation
That's ok Pearlswine, we'll see in three days, as soon as I'm free from contract with Food Q2 Interest.
Therefore, I'm also interested in raising some "Land" skill, so your job fits me 😉
Thanks for the heads up, Peter. I initially thought that the owner of the company I currently work for was another scam artist when my pay went from $10 to $3. But after a PM exchange my normal salary was restored, so I don't think that was intentional on his part. There needs to be some control built into the game mechanics that would 1) prevent employers from posting offers they cannot possibly pay, and 2) only allow for a negative salary adjustment of up to 25% per day. Also, the 72 hour waiting period for resigning is completely ridiculous. Why was it needed? How exactly can the system be abused without it?
It ought to be that job offers are viewed as a three day contract with no changes in salary permitted over the first 72 hours. That would sort out the first page of human resources.
That's an interesting comment Publius, if admin wants to keep the 72 hour rule to give company owners some protection, he should indeed also protect the workers!
The US Greens will urge admin to instore such a protection for the workers or to just drop the 72 hour rule.
I'm glad to hear you sorted things out with your employer, Chahk Noir. I think your proposal to prevent employers from posting offers they cannot pay, is a valid one. We'll contact admin in name of the US Green Party to make our views heard.
Thanks for the warning
Voted. This is a good warning for the newcomers to eUSA
I accepted a job working at "A Hand Up" my starting wage was to be a reasonable 20 but was dropped to 12 immediately.
check out some Green solutions to the problem at http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/green-solutions-to-the-problem-689979/1
Agreed. This is a dirty trick on new citizens who don't know alot. And on veterans who have alot of skill but then get little pay.
It's dissapointing...
Dont wor kat Imperial Oil. I was psyched to get 15 with no skill, but then my wage went to 3 the next day. The owner also constantly changed it sometimes 3 times a day. Thankfully im out of there and at Dark Forest with a steady wage of 15 at 1, so all is well, but stay away from Imperial Oil.
Voted, I also got tricked by Food Q2 Interest 😑 now 24 hours to wait.
Voted Thank you for the warning
I'm glad that I'm not the only one who fell in this garbage... It's very annoying, also because this kind of trick is too similar to real life tricks 🙂
I agree! Anyone who has had this happen to them I will back up 1,000%.
If you need a new job to get back on your feet I can offer one if you can't find one you like.
Golden_Aura is a reputable business owner who looks after not only the profits of the company, but the welfare of its workers. I'm currently enjoying a 15 USD salary at 1.5 skill, and he has not once messed with my paycheck in a negative way. If you need a solid, good-paying job, Golden_Aura is your man!
why doesn't the government to something?
XD. Whose idiot idea was it to force a 72 hour contract on the Employees but not the GMs.
SA WEAPONS just scammed me, lowering my wage from ~30 to 16 USD.
Pink Diamonds is a new firm that will definitely not scam their workers.
I will build this company in the interests of eUSA, and our workers. The motive is not profit, it is to get diamonds out there. 🙂
i have a lumber company where i desperately need workers and i read some where in the forum where ppl were mainly doing that so they will appear first on the list in HR so they are not drowned out by the massive amount of job listings.. where raw materials is so new no one has a skill level of 7 so they create a job post for lvl 7 at 99999 to lure people into seeing their other job offers. so i did... so far it hasnt worked.. so i will probably just take it down... HR is really bugged and needs to be organized a bit better.
I work at Darq Sustenance without any problems in getting the right amount of pay. The problem seems to be no money to pay the workers so I can't always work. 🙁
i fell for this too!
Another scam company: Manchester Pizza (food company) by GM coco bear. Got a job last night for $35 and reduced hours later to $7.
It looks like this problem may be fixed, though! I was able to quit and get a new job already. So this problem may be over.
I still can't quit my new job...

1 unit of Q4 Grain will increase your stock by 4 units.
I am of course guilty of that because other companies are doing the same thing.
but lets keep something in mind here. During theses hard times, we need Raw Materials employees, and that is the only companies I am doing this for. As other companies try to get employees that way, it is effective. business grows in numerable ways and in order to keep up, my actions are justifiable. Also, be grateful for even a 5USD wage, as nobody in Raw materials has any real skill yet.
Also, I'd like to point out that Golden Aura, paying a salary of 15USD for skill 1.5 workers is setting a precedent among employees that will eventually devalue our Dollar and make products all across the board more expensive. We need to cut the line on wages now before it gets out of hand, otherwise too much power will go to the employees, the ones who do not (no offence) understand how to run a company or an economy. That is why more power (not money) should go to the employers as they are the ones that understand the markets and keep them balanced.
-Uncle Sam-
Uncle Sam, cause others are doing it this is not a justification.
Drop the short term view of missing out on a few workers. I and I think that I speak for many other workers are pretty offended by taking such a statement of justifying scamming.
Instead of saying 'evry1 does it so it is oke'
Why not make a public message that you do not allow such activities. It will get you a load of workers on the long term since you are a truested employer.
yours sincerly,
one of your employees.
Global Quantum Holding is a scam. beware.
Global Wood Company,
started as 19, switched to 8
You know, the economy will already crumble simply because Raw Mats take 1 Productivity whereas Food takes 1 Productivity + 1 Grain. That key difference will lead to every Raw Mat GM profiting huge, so the other Industries fail.
Uncle Sam, the fact is that here we're not complaining about low wages, but about the trick of changing them after hiring is done.
Clarity is the way, tricking is scum.
If I'm worth a 3 USD wage I'm glad to accept it.
But being hired with false promises... well, I cannot accept it.
