What is a ghost job?
Jobs that are under-the-table. Where the employer generally requires plausible deniability, and can burn you at any time. High risk, high reward. Often unlisted.
From these kinds of jobs, the innuendo formed.
Oh, I didn't know there was a specific term for that.
Fucking do it already. Charge companies a huge fine based on a percentage of the company value for each one they post
