I was scrolling through job postings today and came across one that read like this. I was confused -> clicked the link -> saw a picture of two oil rig workers -> genuinely said “Ah, oil!” out loud -> and closed the web page.

They try to hide behind green washing and jargon. It happened to me at a university career fair a few months ago, too.

That’s fair - I checked out a few more of their replies. If my generous interpretation was right, they do a poor job of making their point.

To clarify, I agree with the comment I replied to. Just wanted to add context for the people down voting. I know immigration is a difficult topic right now and we all just want to see people treated well.

Maybe I’m misreading, but I don’t think @teppa is blaming immigrants. I think both things can be true: our politicians are taking advantage of hard working immigrants, exploiting them for cheap labour and increased housing demand/cost, which makes our GDP look better.

It’s not the immigrants’ fault - we need immigration badly, and benefit greatly in many ways. But not if we’re taking advantage of people. We all deserve better.
