Move Over, Vandelay Industries 2
An anonymous reader writes "Remember that Seinfeld episode where George was unemployed and made up Vandelay Industries to be his former employer and work reference? Well, a new website is taking that idea to the Web 2.0 level, complete with faux stock options, salary and other benefits. 'Wurkers' who join Z-G-I.com are offered a variety of benefits seen at real companies, including free business cards, desktop software, a virtual desk at Starbucks, t-shirts, and even a 'subsidized' lunch program."
Won't work. Bad Seinfeld reference. No soup for U! (Score:2)
I think employers and the unemployment office will get wise when they see the front page say: "If you are unemployed and want to pretend to have a job, click here, but if you are an employer wanting references on one of our "employees" click here. And when they do a google search, they will see ads and reviews that say "fake out potential employers! Pretend to work at Z-G-I.com!"
Also, you got the Seinfeld episode wrong. George did not use Vandelay Industries as his employer or reference. He lied to his work
