Is there no better source (perhaps a link to the Seattle Times Classified) than an image on Twitter from a political account?


Quick search:

The same ad appears here: https://www.jobs.now/jobs/746612360-software-engineer-ref-10... and here: https://jobs.ieee.org/job/software-engineers/86091567/

Applicants are asked to send their resume to usresumes@netflix.com

FWIW, there are multiple job offerings for software engineers both in Seattle and remote on the Netflix page. Just not this one.

https://explore.jobs.netflix.net/careers?location=Seattle%2C...

The ads on Netflix' own website look quite different. No salary range but much more information about the job. And there is an application form to be filled out. The job ID has a different format.

(There is also another short ad for a Broadcast Operations Engineer: https://www.jobs.now/jobs/518941865-broadcast-operations-eng... )

AFAICT, the email address usresumes@netflix.com only appears online in conjunction with these very brief job ads on small job sites. It seems quite obvious that these ads are not really meant for serious candidates.

If one sends an email to usresumes@netflix.com, one receives the following automated reply. That does not necessarily mean that Netflix posted the above ads.

Not sure what to make of this. Either Netflix is very brazen here - posting minimalistic job adverts where they don't want anyone to apply - or someone else is posting these to further their own agenda.


Exposing the corporate fraud is political? Or is it just political because it uses US symbolism to expose US jobs at US companies being kept from US citizens?


The way you expose fraud is important. If you go vindictive against particular companies rather than administer policy it’s bad, as simple as that.


That might be true if you are the one exposing fraud and you are trying to reach the largest audience. That might also not work at all because when something is trying to appeal to everyone, it appeals to no one.

On the other hand, there is an equal amount of close-mindedness, and sometimes malice, from the side that demands "a better source" because they don't like where the information comes from, regardless of its veracity.


Classified ads change.


Does that change anything in the message being conveyed?


"Aliens are eating our pets"

"Is there a credible source for that"

"Does that change the message I'm conveying?"


Yes, it's the difference between a partisan claim and a fact.


Yeah but links to their job site and the ads arent evidence because the underlying data changes over time.
