College educated? Possess skills and a level of intelligence that very few people in the States have? Out of a job because it was shipped overseas to someone willing to work double your hours for half your pay?
Why not work for free! Ten hours a week of slave labor, and maybe you'll have the privilege of getting a job!

If you are a senior level programmer who is currently without a job and are LOCATED IN MASS and are an expert at Javascript, PHP, AJAX, JQuery this listing might be for you.
As you know its always easier to find a job when your resume says you are currently employed. In-fact you probably heard on the radio that some companies are saying that "UNEMPLOYED NEED NOT APPLY". Well we are convinced that there are some incredible programmers out there who are currently not employed and we want to take advantage of that.
We are a small Start-Up who has most programers currently working overseas. We have launched our online service 4 weeks ago and are starting to grow. However we are coming up with a number of bugs and need-to-be-done-additions, that we need done. So here is our proposal:
You donate 10 hours a week to our company.
You can put on your resume that you are currently employed as long as you continue to donate those 10 hours.
If we work well together and both sides are happy and prove to be great additions to one another you will be our first pick for a full time hire.
If you are interested please email us via this posting.
The office is located in Framingham MA, 10 hours must be done in the office.
Has it really come to this America? How soon until other companies follow suit? Given the level of desperation going on, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if someone took them up on this offer.
It's just absolutely shameful and disgusting that someone would even have the gall to offer something like this.
