With the astounding amount of work I have to go through with every job I've had, when it comes to personal information, previous addresses, social security numbers, driver's license, previous employers, etc, how is this a thing? Do I spend hours filling out these forms for nothing?

[–] Willy@sh.itjust.works 27 points 6 months ago

You do spend hours filling them out for nothing. Well for HR which is worse than nothing.

[–] Souyo@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

You spend hours filling them out so another country can steal that information from said company. /s

Just another of the many reasons that RTO is essential!

Businesses really do hire the absolute cheapest they can so it doesn't surprise me that 300 companies had 'thousands' of employees who were actually North Koreans disguised as Americans.

But how sure are we that this isn't just the plot of the next Greg Daniels project?

Absolutely ran into fake CVs and people farming off the interview to 3rd party interview factories. Not at all surprised this was happening. Can't say I ran into North Koreans but a lot of recruitment agencies were passing people on with little to no vetting. You'd interview someone on camera and they'd be a different person once everything was signed. Given how hard it was to correct that they'd still walk away with a few weeks salary, even in your states with at will contracts it's super difficult to let anyone go.

I'd like to see the list of companies they worked at

[–] answersplease77@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

lmao! Stole their identity to work and earn a salary. This is still theft but it's the most repesctable form of theft I've heard of

[–] quindraco@lemm.ee 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Why is OP conflating identity theft with "taking our jerbs" nonsense? Identity theft is a serious issue.

[–] Eezyville@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 months ago

The ones who used the stolen identities did take the jobs from people with legit identities.

Anyone have the unpaywalled text?
