These employment positions are posted, re-posted, and continue to churn. Maybe management posts fake positions to keep employees on edge. Maybe the pay sucks. Maybe management sucks.
Maybe human resources posts ridiculous job requirements to document their "attempt" to hire citizens, and gosh-oh-shucks only the pre-selected (cheaper) non-American visa worker has every imaginary skill.
